This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on Amazon's organizational environment, stakeholders, business culture, organizational structure, strategies, and value providers. The ample factors of Amazon's organizational environment play a paramount role in Amazon's profound success and unprecedented profitability as a multibillion dollar e-commerce company. "Amazon's key stakeholders are Amazon's investors, employees, directors, owners (shareholders), customers, associates, third party sellers, and the community from which the business draws its resources" ("stakeholder," n.d.). Amazon benefits their stakeholders in a myriad of different ways, such as by having created a slew of stable jobs for Amazon's employees, third party sellers, associates, and suppliers. Also, Amazon benefits communities by giving consumers the opportunity to conveniently purchase from millions of items from the comfort of their own homes twenty-four-seven for lower prices than competitors products. "For the most part, the value of Amazon's stock keeps consistently increasing" ("Amazon.com, inc. (nasdaq: amzn)," 2012). "Amazon intends to retain all future earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future" ("Faqs," n.d.). As a low cost leader, Amazon holds a significant amount of the market share throughout an exorbitant amount of markets, is set up to run cost-effectively, and heavily invests in research and development efforts to bolster long term financial growth. Amazon's business culture can be defined as a role culture. "A role culture is a culture with a rule of law with clear responsibility and reward system that provides stability, justice, and efficiency" ("Business culture," n.d.). "Amazon's vision is to be the Earth's most customer oriented company. This business model of Amazon.com is based on retaining customers for a considerable number of years -- twelve years by some analysts' forecasts -- in order to develop deep, continuing relationships that will justify the company's heavy investment in its' site" (Weinstein, 2012, p. 33-195). One can conclude that Amazon's business culture seems to be a desirable environment for employees to work in since it punctuates the continual strive for long term growth and success. Amazon organizational structure is a decentralized organizational structure. "This means that the decision making power is distributed and the departments and divisions may have different degrees of independence" ("organizational structure," n.d.). The distribution of power allows Amazon's individual departments to operate more efficaciously without being as greatly encumbered by corporate bureaucracy as they otherwise would if they were a centralized organization. Amazon utilizes a myriad of strategies to enhance and streamline their consumer's shopping experience which ultimately allows them to retain the lifetime value of their consumers. Amazon implements a product differentiation strategy to create more innovative products. Amazon also continues to exhibit a low cost leadership strategy. Furthermore, Amazon offers their consumers excellent customer service, recommends products to their individual consumers based on product recommendation algorithms, offers promotional items for pre-ordering their products, offers free shipping for orders above the twenty five dollar threshold, offers fulfillment and distribution services to third party sellers, and Amazon generates sales revenue from the sales of third party sellers on their website. Amazon also generates substantial sales revenue from authors who publish their eBooks and physical books on their platform. Amazon is also very easy to navigate through, has meticulous product descriptions, has insightful customer reviews, and simplifies the buying experience into being parred down to only a few clicks. Furthermore, Amazon is open twenty-four-seven which augments the level of convenience associated with purchasing products

Download or read book Amazon written by Paul Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazon is everywhere. In our mailboxes, in delivery vans clogging our streets, in an increasing portion of our air traffic, in our grocery stores, on our televisions, in our smart home devices, and in the infrastructure powering many of the websites we visit. Amazon’s tendrils touch the majority of online retail transactions in the United States and in many other countries. As Amazon changes the face of capitalist business, it is also changing global culture in multiple ways. This book brings together some of the most important analyses of Amazon’s pioneering business practices and how they intersect with and affect the components of everyday culture. Its contributors examine the political economy of Amazon’s platform, making the argument that it operates as an unregulated monopoly that is disruptive to the global economy and that its infrastructure and logistical operations increasingly alienate its workers and wreak many other social harms. Our contributors outline the practices of resistance that have been employed by organizers ranging from Amazon employees to artists to digital piecemeal laborers working on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform. They examine the broader cultural impact that Amazon has had, looking at things like Amazon Prime and the creation of unending consumption, the absorption of Whole Foods and its brand of ‘conscious capitalism,’ and the impact of Amazon Studios and Prime Video on everyday film and television viewing practices. This book examines the broader environmental impacts that Amazon is having on the world, looking at the slow violence it incurs, its underwhelming Climate Pledge, and the regional impacts that its business practices have. Lastly, this book gathers together some important artistic responses to Amazon for the first time in an appendix that offers readers insight into other ways in which critics of the company are making their voices heard and attempting to move broader audiences into solidarity against Amazon.

Download or read book One Click written by Richard L. Brandt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazon's business model is deceptively simple: Make online shopping so easy and convenient that customers won't think twice. It can almost be summed up by the button on every page: "Buy now with one click." Why has Amazon been so successful? Much of it has to do with Jeff Bezos, the CEO and founder, whose unique combination of character traits and business strategy have driven Amazon to the top of the online retail world. Richard Brandt charts Bezos's rise from computer nerd to world- changing entrepreneur. His success can be credited to his forward-looking insights and ruthless business sense. Brandt explains: Why Bezos decided to allow negative product reviews, correctly guessing that the earned trust would outweigh possible lost sales. Why Amazon zealously guards some patents yet freely shares others. Why Bezos called becoming profitable the "dumbest" thing they could do in 1997. How Amazon.com became one of the only dotcoms to survive the bust of the early 2000s. Where the company is headed next. Through interviews with Amazon employees, competitors, and observers, Brandt has deciphered how Bezos makes decisions. The story of Amazon's ongoing evolution is a case study in how to reinvent an entire industry, and one that anyone in business today ignores at their peril.

Book excerpt: Taking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape. Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services.

With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy.
