The Everything Store : Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon Brad Stone
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.
William Hauvette : C'est assez fascinant de voir qu'en 94 ça part quand même comme un boulet de canon Amazon. Moi je pensais que, tu vois, j'avais un peu ce mythe de la boîte qui a perdu de l’argent pendant longtemps, c'est vrai, mais du coup je pensais que c'était une boîte qui avait un peu galéré à ses débuts. Non, la première semaine de l'ouverture d’Amazon, ils font 12 000 dollars de chiffre d’affaires, tu es en 94. Enfin, c'est lunaire en fait.
