HISTORY OF AMAZON:
Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeffrey Bezos. Jeff Bezos incorporated the company (as Cadabra) in July 1994. The name Amazon was founded soon after because the Amazon River is the largest in the world, and the letter "A" would help the company to show up at the top of alphabetical lists. And the site went online as Amazon.com in 1995. The name Amazon was founded soon because the Amazon River is the largest in the world, and the letter "A" would help the company to show up at the top of alphabetical lists. The one thing that made them famous was their books. Their first profit was reached in the last quarter of 2001. The logo itself is the company name. Amazon, with an arrow below, pointing from A to Z, representing that they could provide every product in the alphabet and also customer satisfaction, as it forms a smile. Amazon's headquarters is in Seattle Washington united states. A major provider of cloud computing services.
Amazon's stock was opened to the public in 1997 under the Nasdaq symbol AMZN at the price of $18.00 per share. The stock prices over the past 10 years have increased from around $20 a share to nearly $170 per share. The last great climb in stock prices began in 2008 and the company has managed to stay on top. Amazon's goal for the stock price is $400. The progress has gradually continued steadily over the years and there is no sign that this company's growth will stop anytime soon. One thing that is the similarity between the Amazon of today and the Amazon of 20 years ago is that there are still many problems.
HOW AMAZON WORKS:
Businesses, individual sellers, and manufacturers sell their inventory to Amazon at wholesale rates. Amazon Vendor central then gives Amazon ownership of the sellers' inventory, which is then marketed and sold to shoppers on their website. Once an order has been placed, the product is shipping from Amazon's warehouse.
In 1995, Amazon.com sold its first book, which shipped from Jeff Bezos garage in Seattle. In 2006, Amazon.com sells a lot more than books and has sites serving seven countries, with 21 fulfillment centers around the globe totaling more than 9 million square feet of warehouse space.
The story is an e-commerce dream, and Jeff Bezos was Time magazine's person of the year in 1999. The innovation and business savvy that sustains Amazon.com is legendary and, at times, controversial: The company owns dozens of patents on e-commerce processes that some argue should remain in the public domain. In this article, we'll find out what Amazon does, What makes it different from other e-commerce websites, and how its technology infrastructure supports its multi-pronged approach to online sales.
