Why Read This Report
As Amazon.com has grown aggressively in recent years, expanded into diverse businesses, and achieved profitability, its impact on the eBusiness and retail sectors is now top of mind.

This report explores the drivers of Amazon's top- and bottom-line growth to date, how it has managed to achieve success and what that success means for retailers and eBusiness execs, where the firm is vulnerable, how other retailers can effectively coexist in this new retail environment, and the strategic lessons other businesses can learn from Amazon.
