The company will keep its e-commerce business, warehouse operations and 'between zero and 28 brick-and-mortar retail stores.'
Unlike the small, 2,500-square-foot Radio Shacks, where fat gross profit margins and slow inventory turnovers are the norm, Tandy's two new Incredible Universe stores stress volume. They sell a dizzying breadth of branded products, from video games to washing machines, for low prices in 160,000-square-foot warehouse settings. .... 'This is the most aggressive thing that this company has done; the most innovative thing since Radio Shack,' said Eugene G. Glazer, a technology analyst at Dean Witter in New York. 'It's very clear that the formula that worked for Tandy in the 70's did not work well in the 80's and will be radically changed in the 90's.'

(help)Hey, at least it saved on trees and managers' time. On Tuesday, RadioShack laid off 403 employees, from vice presidents to rank-and-file workers, by sending them notices through e-mail. 'It's the first e-mail layoff I've heard of,' said Mary Willoughby, an instructor in the human resource development program at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y., and an active member of the Society of Human Resource Management. 'It's demoralizing. We still have to have that human touch,' Willoughby said. As she and many others see it, there's no substitute for personal contact -- even when it comes to giving employees the ax. RadioShack's decision to send layoff notices by e-mail has touched off debate over whether the company's method was ethical and innovative, or cowardly and callous, or perhaps just another milestone in the advent of the electronic office. Many experts were unmoved by the fact that it was a large-scale layoff, and wondered whether the move would spark a trend.
