'Brad Stone's definitive book on Amazon and Bezos' The Guardian
'A masterclass in deeply researched investigative financial journalism . . . riveting' The Times
The definitive story of the largest and most influential company in the world and the man whose drive and determination changed business forever.
Though Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail, its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, was never content with being just a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become 'the everything store', offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To achieve that end, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now...
Jeff Bezos stands out for his relentless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way that Henry Ford revolutionised manufacturing.
Amazon placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet. Nothing would ever be the same again.
Klantrecensies
Great read but Amazon friendly...
Great read! However, I couldn't help but feel a little bias towards Amazon... the author is quick to give a reasonable/good explanation to anything that might construed as positive towards ( e.g If Amazon was squeezing certain suppliers, book publishers, it was only because they wanted to pass the savings on to the customers).
