| amazon logistics and supply chain management: To What Extent Is Amazon’s Success Based On Their Supply Chain Management? Moritz Puhrsch, 2019-11-13 Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: B, , language: English, abstract: To what extent is Amazon’s success based on their supply chain management? Amazon.com, Inc. is an American internet company which started as an online bookstore and was founded 24 years ago on July 5th 1994 by Jeff Bezos under the name Cadabra. The name was changed quickly in 1995 to its current name. The hugely successful tech giant, which was founded in a primitive garage in Seattle, now has a market cap of over US$1 trillion and is therefore the second most valuable public company in the world behind just Apple. It has even more impressive facts to offer such as being the largest Internet retailer in the world and second largest employer in the United states after Walmart or being the fastest company ever to reach $100billion in sales revenue within one year, taking only 20 years. At the end of 2018 Amazon had 647.500 employees, mainly thanks to its sprawling logistics network, and in the second quartile of 2018 it reported an impressive net income of $2.5 billion with the revenue being $52.9 billion. |

Operations and logistics are cornerstones of modern supply chains that in turn are essential for global business and economics. The composition, character and importance of supply chains and networks are rapidly changing, due to technological innovations such as Information and Communication Technologies, Sensors and Robotics, Internet of Things, and Additive Manufacturing, to name a few (often referred to as Industry 4.0). Societal developments such as environmental consciousness, urbanization or the optimal use of scarce resources are also impacting how supply chain networks are configured and operated. As a result, future supply chains will not just be assessed in terms of cost-effectiveness and speed, but also the need to satisfy agility, resilience and sustainability requirements. To face these challenges, an understanding of the basic as well as more advanced concepts and recent innovations is essential in building competitive and sustainable supply chains and, as part of that, logistics and operations. These span multiple disciplines and geographies, making them interdisciplinary and international. Therefore, this book contains contributions and views from a variety of experts from multiple countries, and combines management, engineering as well as basic information technology and social concepts.

| amazon logistics and supply chain management: Platform Labour and Global Logistics Immanuel Ness, 2022-12-26 Over the past 50 years the global labour market is transforming from reliable employment to low-wage and unstable informal and precarious jobs. This ineluctable shift is a consequence of the concentrated application of neoliberalism since the 1980s, as capitalism is converting standardised labour markets in the developed Global North into contingent and informal labour. Platform Labour and Global Logistics: A Research Companion examines the most important developments and features of global logistics and the emergence of the platform economy through historical comparative chapters and case studies. Part I surveys the logistics revolution and its impact on labour in key sectors of the global economy and probes the viability of the platform as a generator of economic and financial growth and innovation. The chapters of Part 1 offer a fulsome analysis and critique of the economic and technical reconfiguration brought on by neoliberal capitalism and the diffusion of the platform and logistics as a feasible model into the future. Part II examines labour restructuring from standardized to informal work through the platform and information technology, and the political and environmental challenges to labour. Part III provides global case studies on the informal economy through case studies of crucial economies where the platform has become dominant, and Part IV examines how the platform has contributed to geographic mobility and labour migration, and the consequences on workers. Platform Labour and Global Logistics: A Research Companion presents a unique contribution to the political economy literature through highlighting the significance of the impact of the platform and logistics on the working class and potential challenges from labour across the world. This book is intended for academics, researchers and students studying technological innovation, global supply chains, labour restructuring, and worker resistance. |

| amazon logistics and supply chain management: Bezos vs. Musk - A Global Battle , 2021-10-13 There is a hidden agenda in Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos’s space exploration to colonize Mars and the Moon. The media portray them as Americans who are rekindling space exploration that was once dominated by the rivalry between the United States and the extinct Soviet Union. Before you write off what I have just said, hear me out. For more than a decade, I’ve closely studied the lives of Bezos and Musk. I have watched as Jeff Bezos dominated online retailing, and Elon Musk building Tesla and SpaceX. As each spread their wings to critical industries, I began to notice a pattern that only leads to one conclusion, the hidden agenda each harbors. On the surface, it appears each of them is interested in dominating space. However, when you study how they operate in every industry, you cannot help but conclude that there is more to their modus operandi. If you would like to find out what this hidden agenda is, and how Musk and Bezos are dominating the industries they each operate in, then BEZOS vs. MUSK is a book you should read. In this book, I, Dan Bleigh, an MBA graduate, will be providing a unique angle of looking into the innovations and technology that Bezos and Musk use to dominate. I compare the two top richest people in the world side by side. You’ll learn the logistics strategy that each of these entrepreneurs applies to move their companies to the top. Here’s more of what you’ll learn in this book: ● Two dreams that Elon Musk has that’ll take him to the top of the air transportation industry. ● Discover two images in the conclusion that shows what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are planning when they’re done with their respective projects. ● What Jeff Bezos did to force NASA to freeze the Artemis program for a few months. ● An initiative that Elon Musk is undertaking to help increase the thinking power of human beings and why he’s doing it. ● Why Elon Musk and Amazon Web Services have funded OpenAI. ● A potent strategy that Amazon uses to dominate an industry it never operated in before. And much much more! The rivalry between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk is intense, and these two billionaires are in conflict over NASA’s contracts. However, these conflicts are hiding what is happening in reality. If you want to find out the truth behind the rivalry of Bezos and Musk, get BEZOS vs. MUSK. |
