If you are studying about eCommerce your study is not complete without reading about Amazon. What amazes me about amazon is their strategy. They are not like other companies who will become competitors. They conquered an industry (book publishing). They never competed, they conquered. This company is spending lot of money, they are not worried about profits, margins and success. Every body knows about Amazon.com, Amazon Kindle Fire, amazon cloud and their web services.

News media about Steve Job's when he was alive: An arrogant who thinks he’s above the law. A slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong. He got attitude. Selling his products at ridiculously high price and thinking he is helping world. He cancelled his trip and came back for Antenna gate problems of iPhone 4. He is scolding media for hyper attention on small issue. He says don't buy if you don't like, he needs PR. News media after Steve Job's death: A visionary, innovator. Every body dreams of changing the world, only few does that in reality. A wonderful human being is lost. Media means people, that means we change our opinions with an incident.

I started observing the business model of various companies lately. Let's take the example of Walmart, the number one company in the world. Why is it Numero Uno ? I can think of below 3 reasons 1. It selling goods in a country where there is huge purchasing power and they look for cheap and best things for daily use. 2. It gets most of the things from the worlds unbeatable cheapest manufacturer, of course CHINA. 3. It completely outsourced its IT activities to India. Walmart alone give $1 Billion bill to the Indian IT companies. That makes it Number 1 I guess. No need to mentioned the matured operation model over the year.
