This strategy is part of Best Buy Chief Executive Officer Hubert Joly’s plan to turnaround the company. Increasingly customers have used the electronic retailer’s brick-and-mortar stores for showrooming, meaning consumers browse the company’s inventory before making purchases online. Joly will speak to analysts and investors on Tuesday in New York regarding the company’s future.
