Amazon Case Study

Amazon began as an online retailer for books in the 90s and has grown to become one of

the largest tech players in the world. Jeff Bezos, the founder of the company, had a vision for

growth of the company to become the largest online marketplace in the world, hence the name

Amazon of the longest river in the world. Bezos owns 19.4% stake in the company that has a

board of directors. Amazon is oriented towards customer satisfaction in various ways such as

continual website improvement and providing recommendations that is customized based on

available consumer information (Hoffman, 2013). This paper shall be analyzing major facts for

the Amazon case and coming up with recommendations for improvement.


Problem Identification


To begin with, one of the challenges that Amazon faces is keeping competitors at bay.

Amazon faces major competition from other big companies such as eBay and German-based

Metro AG (Hoffman, 2013). EBay gained significant success in the past by linking buyers and

sellers online to sell and purchase anything. Both companies also had same growth strategies that

included acquisitions of several other companies. Metro AG, on the other hand, became on the

biggest global retail and wholesome companies that was a result of several retail companies

merging. Metro AG was also geared towards customer orientation, innovation, sustainability and

efficiency, just like Amazon. Other sources of competition came from Apple’s introduction of

iPad to compete against Amazon’s Kindle(Well et al.2015) as well as companies that provided

their own products such as Netflix. Amazon has continued to tackle competition by directing

additional resources towards technology, infrastructure, marketing and fulfillment as well as the

negotiation of better deals from suppliers and adoption of more aggressive pricing.
