To survive in the market, Amazon Corporation have put major thrust on areas like research, development and building new information systems. SDLC process comes in different versions with varying number of steps. Some go for the eight step process while few prefer the seven step process. Another variation is the five step process which includes the following stages: System definition, Requirement analysis, Component design, Implementation and Maintenance. There is a subtle difference between a disaster and a threat. Heavy physical loss of computing machinery due to natural causes, assault or terrorist attacks come under the category of Disasters. Threats cover issues arising from human errors, malicious illegal acts and natural disasters. An instance of human error would be an unintentional or intentional shredding of data by employees. Events like a twister or flood beyond human control can disable all computing services indefinitely. With all these factors established, it is important to consider the steps to be taken in preparing for disasters ahead of development of plans (Kroenke, “Information Security Management,” 2012). The SDLC process which has been so strictly and exhaustively followed by Amazon can be...

...More Than a Good Book: Amazon.com With technological advances and consumer convenience, the bookstore no longer remains only a brick and mortar store. Tangible books are becoming obsolete now that computers, tablets like the iPad, and e-readers have provided more ease and accessibility for the average individual. Bookstores have all tweaked their business plans to support the changes in demand and functionality. The reigning leader for more than just books, volume of sales, technology and ease of use is by far Amazon.com, Inc. First incorporated in July of 1994 and selling its first book online a year later in July of 1995 Amazon.com, Inc., often called simply “Amazon”, was first started by its president and CEO, Jeff Bezos as an on-line bookseller (“Amazon” 2012). The mission of Amazon (2012) according to their Web site is “To be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover anything they want to buy online” (Company Facts). Today Amazon sells much more than just books! The number one selling item for Amazon is their e-reader, the Amazon Kindle, along with, “digital products – Kindle, Kindle books and accessories” (secdatabase.com, 2012). First introduced in 2007 the Kindle now has many versions available in different sizes with many features. The Kindle has allowed Amazon to be technologically competitive by allowing the consumer to read multiple books on this small, sleek device.

It has 741 stores nationally, including 45 BI-LO Supermarkets that also stock Coles private label brands, and more than 100,000 employees. Coles was founded by George James (G.J.) Coles when what was called the "Coles Variety Store" opened on 9 April 1914 in Smith Street in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood. Expansion to more stores occurred and the chain was regarded as leaders in providing value to Australian shoppers (G. J. Coles learned the retail trade working for his father's "Coles Store" business at Wilmot, Tasmania between 1910 and 1913). Coles' interest in food retailing was spurred in 1958 when it acquired 54 John Connell Dickins grocery stores. It then acquired the Beilby's chain in South Australia in 1959 and 265 Matthews Thompson grocery stores in New South Wales in...

...Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for the Coles Group of Australia By Aruna Kulatunga MGG9352 Management Processes and Systems. Semester 1, 2007 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Executive Summary The Coles Group of Australia has allowed its competitive advantage to slip away to rival Woolworth by failing to differentiate its core strategies and by failing to articulate well the strategies that could have been differentiated. In a bid to gain competitive advantage, this report suggests that the Coles Group should look beyond the company boundaries, extending its value chain to suppliers, partners and customers in a seamless manner, employ process like Total Quality Management and Business Process Reengineering in extending the value chain, bedded in a well structured change management programme and look towards globalisation and franchising along with such counter-intuitive, yet innovative, location strategies such as competitive clustering and saturation marketing to regain its competitive advantage. Page 2 23/10/07 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Introduction Strategy gurus Porter (1998, p. 2), Mintzberg (1994), Hamel (1998), Hamel and Prahalad, (1994) Champy and Nohria (1996) and Hammer (quoted in Champy and Nohria, (1996)) agree in principle that in order to meet business needs, specific actions need to be...

Of course this online retail store was not always the largest and had a shaky slow start because the online layout was not eye-catching. In 1994, Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon.com started his business in his garage in Washington State selling books. However, in 1994, Nick Hanauer took an interest in Bezos business and invested $40,000, and in 1995 Tom Alburg invested $100,000 to join this venture. After receiving these investments Bezos decided to create a website that would be more appealing to customers and hoped to get his business to take off. Over the next three years Amazon increase in book sales, which amazed Bezos because after an analysis was completed he was shocked to find out outside of local customers who were purchasing books from Amazons but customers around the world. In 1997, Amazon reached revenue in the amount of $15.7 million. By 1998, Amazon was starting to show signs of success when Bezos started listing new products for the customers...
