b'Coming up on this week\\u2019s episode, I am going to look at the 2019 collapse of Thomas Cook, a 178 year old veteran of the travel industry that, seemingly, disappeared overnight.

Like all corporate collapses, the seeds of Thomas Cook\\u2019s destruction were sewn long before the final coup de grace. Ill-thought through acquisitions. A \\u2018bloated retail footprint\\u2019. An inability to keep up with the increasing commoditization of the travel market.

In the end, the collapse of Thomas Cook was less than an overnight collapse, and more of, what website skift.com calls \\u2018a disaster played out in slow motion\\u2019.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin.
