On today’s show, we’ll talk to Starbucks’ incoming CEO Kevin Johnson about the company’s tech deals and his transition into the role. We’ll also look at the European Central Bank’s decision to scale back some of its economic stimulus; why many U.S. manufacturers are holding back on tech investment; and what Sears plans to do amid another sales drop.
