Disruptors vs disrupted - David Shapiro looks at forces driving the winners and losers

Loading player...
Facing backlash is nothing new for the outspoken market analyst David Shapiro and again there is no holds barred when he questions the competence of management in a discussion with Alec Hogg in the latest Biznews Rational Radio webinar.
