Past Performance
External analysis
1) General environment
• Political/legal environment
Up until recently, Amazon did not have too many
political or legal problems. However, many state
governments are now trying to make Amazon pay taxes
for all the sales that have taken place in the different
states.
• Technological environment
They need to make sure they are continually updating
their technology while staying ahead of their
competitors. They spent $1.2 billion on internally
furthering technology for the company last year.
2) Industry Environment
• Competitors:
1. Wal-Mart
2. eBay
3. Alibaba
4. Flipkart
5. Otto
6. JD
Porter’s five forces analysis
• Threat of new entrants: LOW
• Easy returns
Whether you bought an item online or in the store, you
can bring the product to a Wal-Mart for the return.
Recommendations
• Amazon needs to invest in offline stores because
consumer behavior shows there are simply some
products and purchases that live almost exclusively
offline (as of now). Like groceries, snacks, drinks, and
take out.
