We try to be a pure investment and a long-term decision making company. No company cares more about profitability than Amazon.com. But I also want to make the most of our opportunity and we would hate to be short-sighted about that,
Ultimately publishers and copyright holders will get to make those decisions about how much those pages cost,
Where you are going to spend your time and your energy is one of the most important decisions you get to make in life.
Our point of view is we will sell more if we help people make purchasing decisions.
For every leader in the company, not just for me, there are decisions that can be made by analysis. These are the best kinds of decisions!
The framework I found which made the decision incredibly easy was what I called – which only a nerd would call – a ‘regret minimization framework’. So I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, ‘Okay, now I’m looking back on my life. I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have.
The great thing about fact-based decisions is that they overrule the hierarchy.
We'd like to thank Joe for his hard work and accomplishments over the last year. I believe he is making the right decision for him and his family under the circumstances. We all wish him the very best.
We're building a unique global platform...In the last 18 months we found that sellers and partners are interested in complementing their online and offline businesses with Amazon's platform,
We are thrilled to have Joe at Amazon.
We believe there's a tremendous opportunity ahead across the $5 trillion retail market globally.
Our role is to help people discover music,
Our vision first and foremost is to be the Earth's most customer-centric company and then, within that, to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything and everything that they might want to buy online,
This was our fastest sequential growth as a public company, and we are grateful that so many customers chose Amazon.com for such a broad range of products,
