The Secret Sauce behind Amazon.com
Posted by: Vijay on: April 17, 2008
In my dictionary, Amazon.com is one of the few web destinations, which truly stands upto what “e-commerce” means in its entirety. Jeff comes quite close to an aspiration in that matter as to how he envisioned the grand and made it happen, and still goes on attempting (the kindle is a good try to say the least) new things.
Fortune magazine has a story on him, with quite a bit of meat and some very good take-aways on consumer insights and how a 300 million dollar fulfillment house powers amazon.com and some wise moves that went behind the growth of the company bringing it to where it is now.
