Whether people believe it or not, there are many things wrong with this.

It is common knowledge that sea ice has been melting rapidly within the last decade. This rapid decrease in sea ice has many detrimental effects. This includes the rise in sea level, loss of arctic environments for animals, and the change in weather patterns. Ice is lighter in color so it reflects much of the sunlight that is put out. When open water is revealed from ice melt it is darker in color so it absorbs more sunlight, leading to that rapid melting of ice that we see today. This loss in sea ice can only help one industry, which is shipping. When the sea ice melts, it opens up new shipping routes. The “Northwest Passage” is an arctic sea route which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This route is shorter than the traditional

Constantly an “evolving machine,” Amazon’s same day delivery promises to be the next big step in e-commerce (Murray and Chu, 2015). According to an article by Business Insider, a study from L2, found that a quarter of shoppers would abandon their online cart if same-day shipping wasn’t available. Per the article, that’s a problem that most retailers face, especially since only one-fifth of retail stores offer same-day shipping at checkout. The retailers who offer same-day shipping tend to charge exceptionally high prices for the convenient service. When customers think of the word “fast shipping,” they tend to believe that means same-day shipping. If retailers understood that there’s a high demand for cheap, same-day deliveries, the could capitalize on it.

Amazon has achieved many milestones from starting in the founder’s garage in 1994 to the growth in revenue to US$147.8 million in 1997 and then to the revenue growth of US$177.866 billion in 2017 (Amazon, 2018a, Amazon, 2018b and Jurevicius, 2018). These milestones were achieved through tenacious focused strategies of meeting their customers’ needs and wants. These strategies have maintained and expanded their customer base locally and internationally and have increased its market shares and profit over the last two decades. In addition, projection for the company’s growth and expansion for the next three to five years looks positive as it predicted to grow at the same rate with its expansion internationally and continued focused in satisfying consumers’ wants (Amazon, 2018a). Although, some factors such as governmental policies, legal issues and natural disasters could pose a threat to Amazon’s growth plans, the management team led by the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are working on mitigating the risk (Amazon, 2018a). Some of these efforts are the planned building of its disaster recovery data farm in Canada and construction of more fulfillment centres in Asia, Europe and the rest of the world (Amazon, 2018a). Diversification is another strategy that Amazon has employed in improving its market stocks and money earned. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a good example of diversification strategy employed by Amazon in order to increase its revenue and market shares.
