Blockbuster and Sears are two text book examples of running a very large successful business into the ground because of lack of foresight.

Especially Sears. They were the Amazon of their day. Both didn't want to cannibalize in-store sales.

Exactly! Sears was just a middleman selling products through their catalog. Why they did not have the foresight to transfer this to the internet the way amazon did we will never know. They had the capital and reputation to do it.
