Depends on your point of view.

Is Best Buy a tech company? If you're talking about the stock market, probably - their fortunes align with tech. If you ask me, a potential employee, I would say no. Their focus isn't in developing tech, it's in selling it.

As an employee, I'm more interested in what your employee pool does when determining if it's tech or not - not what you're selling.

In terms of business speak, BestBuy is in the services sector and in the business of retail. I think most would qualify it as an electronics retail company.
