The Software Inside Amazon
b'
Amazon has made a few headlines with the opening of bricks and mortar stores. Amazon is getting retail real estate. The move by Amazon has been seen as a vindication for traditional retailers who are saying \\u201cYou see, retail is not dead\\u201d. Even online Amazon is coming back to retail.
\\nSome people are confused by Amazon and what makes them so successful. It\\u2019s not that they\\u2019re an online store. They won\\u2019t be successful because they have a retail channel. That didn\\u2019t do it either.
\\nThe thing to remember is that Amazon is a digital startup company. Amazon still behaves like a startup despite its massive size. Amazon is a software company that is not constrained by the history. It\\u2019s competitive advantage is that they\\u2019re willing to make data driven decisions.
