Barnes & Noble Vs Amazon

Amazon is the multinational electronic commerce corporation which was established in 1994, by Jeff Bezos with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, United States. Mr. Jeff Bezos was insistent on naming his corporation with the letter A. As such he started perusing through the dictionary, and ultimately settled with Amazon. He considered the fact that the Amazon river was the largest on in the world and with a motive of estabilishing the organization’s supremacy in the market he confirmed the organization’s title as he same. Though , Jeff bezos had initially adopted the name ‘Cadabra’ on July 5,1994, he later on deferred to Amazon considering the above facts and the companys vision .The company therefore was launched as amazon.com

The business and marketing world is a very risky and difficult career. You don’t know what decisions can drastically change your entire company. I will be talking about the fact that Gamestop can possibly go down the same hill as BlockBuster. Now a days, everyone is always talking about the new video games and how they are willing to wait outside of the store until the game gets released. The good thing is that with all of the new technology, they won’t have to suffer the long waits. Gamestop was very popular from 2003-2010 until Playstation came up with a new idea called “Digital Download”. This allows the gamers to purchase the video game ahead of time and you receive it the moment it comes out. You don’t have to wait at all, that's the great thing. Also, you don’t have

The Article, “Pushing the Red Envelope” by Chuck Tryon explains the evolution of television and its aim to become more mobile. Tryon uses Netflix and Hulu as the main examples of tv distributors and how they contribute to the concept of platform mobility. Now, Netflix and Hulu created a new way of consuming media on-the-go and outside the privacy of one’s own home. This shift to become less privatized changed the way cable television operates by providing a place when shows can be downloaded at anytime and streamed for monthly charge much lower than cable. When thinking about this idea of platform mobility I immediately think of Amazon.

The reputable corporation started in 1962 when Max Kohl opened the first Kohl’s department store in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Today, Kohl’s operates 1,100+ stores throughout 49 states with a winning team of 140,000 associates. (Kohl's Corporation, 2016) There are currently 13 distribution centers located in 9 states, specifically one in Georgia, Illinois Maryland, Missouri, New York and Virginia. Two in Ohio and Texas and lastly, three located in California. This allocation of distribution centers ensures quick shipments to stores and deliveries through ecommerce orders. (Kohl's Corporation, 2016) Kohl’s has continued to open the largest number of stores as seems to be strategic and profitably efficient for that current year.

CanGo is a company that built it success upon book sales and has recently decided to enter the foray known as online gaming. This unique division of its attention leads to an interesting competitive analysis. On the one hand, their competitors within the book world must be accounted for. On the other, their new ones they will soon compete with in online gaming. CanGo exists within a niche and through understanding their competition from both ends, they can exist as a niche that flourishes.

Amazon is an incredibly large and successful company, which has recently become the third largest retailer in the world (Gensler). Despite being such a large company, Amazon has not dabbled very much in brick-and-mortar retail, besides their very recent purchase of Whole Foods. Since Whole Foods is a grocery store and they have many freestanding stores, it is easy for Amazon to introduce new features that can be successfully implemented because of their overlapping markets and accessibility, whereas Lululemon relies on mall traffic and a smaller market. It is difficult for many to be a part of the clothing retail industry, since it is such a highly competitive industry that can change at the drop of a hat. Especially for a company like Amazon; that has only operated online until very recently, it would be much more difficult for them to penetrate this new market and keep Lululemon afloat.

The merger is between Office Depot (ODP) acquiring OfficeMax (OMX), which is primarily about survival (Malcolm). The joint company will use the name Office Depot, Inc., meaning the company will trade under the name (ODP) on the New York Stock Exchange (News.officedepot.com). Office Depot and OfficeMax is an American office supplies retailer. This merger will make Office Depot and OfficeMax the largest office superstore in the country. This merger is a smart move for both companies to reform its financial flexibility and improves their working efficiency that will benefit their customers. It’s a smart merger between the two since they sell similar products and have common competitors. The companies hope to cut costs and increase sales

Today when I am writing this is September 7th, 2016 and I have just finish reading Professor Estep’s draft in class. After reading her introduction, which she talked about being in a situation where you have to chose to give or not to give money to a stranger on the street, it had me thinking about how last week I was in a similar situation. It was Saturday the 3rd and I was at Kroger pumping gas when a white male approached me. He handed me a cd and explained to me about how the music was about non-violence and equality. Before he walked away he asked me if I would give him a small donation. A thought came into my head and I began to remember how when my family and I first moved to the United States we were pretty poor. My parent had spent
