The economic impacts of market characteristics and competition are vital information for the growth of Amazon. Internet retailing industry will continue to see positive growth and expand. The online retailer industry sales increased by 14% compared to 2011 (Guardian, 2012).

There is a wide range of competition that Amazon faces from small companies such as dotcom businesses to larger ones such as EBay. First mover advantages is largely a function of technology, foresight and the ability to gain trade secrets ( Lieberman, 1988).

...Technologies and online communities SCI105 Technologies and online communities What is the importance of social media in today’s society? How is it used and by whom? What would be the effect on society if social media were suddenly removed? Social media has gained importance by instantly connecting groups together to exchange thoughts and ideas on both current events and personal opinions. People can express their thoughts to anyone that chooses to log on and read what is posted. Given humans are social creatures this allows everyone to interact on a level that was previously unheard of and unimaginable. Nearly everybody has a Facebook account or follows Twitter and the numbers grow as more and more people gain comfort with the ability to converse online. It also allows a degree of anonymous contribution of thoughts and opinions that may not be otherwise accepted. In businesses, social media has allowed for transfer of information more rapidly and more widespread than previously available. Companies now are able to promote themselves more both within their area and outside the previous norm. In medicine for example, doctors can access information that they would have had to otherwise wait to be published in trade journals. This has been a boon to the medical community. Were social media to be removed, the effect on society would be one of immediate shock and similar to drug withdrawal. People have gotten hooked on the Internet and social media access very much like...

...Established in 1999, Zappos.com has quickly become a leader in online apparel and footwear sales by striving to provide shoppers with the best possible service and selection, with gross merchandise sales exceeding $1 billion annually. Zappos’ company culture delivers happiness. Zappos’ CEO says, “It’s a brand about happiness, whether to customers or employees or even vendors.” Zappos’ zany corporate culture and focus on customer satisfaction has made it both successful and a model for other companies. In 2010, Amazon bought the company for $1.2 billion. Although Hsieh had rejected an offer from Amazon in 2005, he believed that this buyout would be better for the company than management from the current board of directors or an outside investor. Amazon agreed to let Zappos operate independently and to keep Hsieh as CEO. Hsieh made $214 million from the merger, and Amazon set aside $40 million for distribution to Zappos employees. After the merger, the company restructured into 10 separate companies organized under the Zappos Family. In spite of merging, Zappos intends to continue to deliver happiness their customers. This paper examines how Zappos’ focus on happiness has contributed to its success. First, I examine the strategies of Zappos, its core values, and its unique business model. Next, I figure out Zappos’ a unique strategy in a competitive environment. Third, I analyze SWOT of Zappos and other two companies. First of all, we can find Zappos’ mission statement. As grow...
