What is Amazon?

Services of Amazo

With its millions of customers or by serving as a middleman between them and other retailers, the enormous online retailer Amazon.com provides a wide variety of products, including books, music, movies, housewares, electronics, toys, and many others. Its Web services business rents out processing resources and data storage, or “cloud computing.”

Amazon.com corporate strategy was frequently questioned. Journalists and financial specialists mocked the company by calling it Amazon. Bomb. Once competing e-commerce sites had been launched, some doubters prophesied that well-established bookselling chains like Borders and Barnes & Noble would surpass Amazon.com in the market. The company’s poor financial performance up until the fourth quarter of 2001 seemed to back up its critics.
