For 40 years, Ed Stack has been consumed with figuring out ways to stay ahead of competitors. These days that means doubling down on bigger-than-ever Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

Dick’s is doubling down on brick-and-mortar at a time when many retailers are downsizing or shuttering locations - more than 6,480 stores in the U.S. closed this year, the highest number since 2020, according to data from Coresight research. It’s just the latest gamble from Stack, who has spent four decades obsessing about ways to beat competitors.

Already plagued by dubious claims known as greenwashing, it faces new challenges like those at Indonesia’s Rimba Raya, one of the largest carbon offset projects in the world.

The Chrysler name was once one of the most recognizable in the American automotive industry. A bankruptcy and two mergers later, it is just a tiny brand some fear will face extinction. Its lineup has been whittled down to two models of one vehicle – a minivan. But its brand CEO, Christine Feuell, says Chrysler is here to stay and more vehicles are coming soon.

Why Chrysler Has Nearly Disappeared

Myers Industries is a diversified plastics and metal material-handling company. Based in Akron, Ohio, its products include plastic containers, portable fuel and water tanks, and metal safety cabinets.

In 2020, Myers began looking for a way to integrate its planning function across six business groups serving multiple markets and product types. “There was no consistency within our supply chain approach or best practices,” says Jeff Baker, senior vice president of shared services. The existence of multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems across the organization was further hampering its ability to plan efficiently.

Myers turned to John Galt Solutions, provider of end-to-end supply chain planning software. “They have a very good dashboard,” explains Baker. “Once you get the tool up and running, it provides business visibility to drive the supply chain process.” Myers also was looking to John Galt’s Atlas Planning Platform to allow for longer demand-planning horizons.

Implementation took about six months. Baker says Myers approached the initiative in phases, addressing demand planning first, then supply and inventory planning. Finally, it moved into optimization.

Matt Hoffman, vice president of product and industry solutions with John Galt Solutions, says the software provider often engages with companies that have undergone growth or acquisition that led to disparate planning, ERP and other systems. The goal is to integrate all of those systems and create a single plan, he adds.

John Galt got “great participation” from multiple team members across Myers’s business units as well as its IT function, Hoffman says. Each provided immediate input on key design and implementation decisions. “Adds Baker: “We got a lot of support from the Atlas team as well.”

Baker says the software provided Myers with “a uniform supply chain view across platforms,” with common metrics that result in “one integrated business plan.”

Myers is now in discussion with John Galt about using the Atlas tool to create multiple “what-if” planning scenarios, to chart the best path for dealing with any type of supply chain disruption.

Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2024, the first major U.S. airline to do so since 2011. The iconic budget airline hasn’t had a profitable year since 2019 and it’s lost more than $2 billion since 2020. Faced with mounting losses and looming debt payments, Spirit has furloughed hundreds of pilots and offered salaried workers buyouts. It sold some of its Airbus fleet and cut routes. The airline has struggled with shifting demand, a spike in costs, and a Pratt and Whitney engine recall grounding dozens of its jets, weaker-than-expected sales and a failed acquisition with JetBlue Airways. How did the icon of U.S. budget air travel get here and what’s next for the low cost carrier?

OnlyFans’ underlying business model is very different from other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The subscription-focused site is not on Apple’s App Store and in four years, the company’s revenue grew more than 2000%. The company makes money only when creators make money instead of relying on advertising dollars, but what are some of the challenges that come with having a site populated with pornographic content?

WSJ spoke with OnlyFans CEO Keily Blair to learn about some of the challenges the company faced and learned how the company capitalized on the creator economy to change the dynamics of how digital creators get paid.
