Having read this article, I would be very interested to hear what the author (or anyone else who has the same views) thinks of Amazon. To me, Amazon seems to be an example of a company that does NOT have a focus (or has been widening it's focus from books, to online selling, to pretty much anything) but which has not been suffering for it. Why not? What are they doing right?

- mcherm 11y agoOf course they have had failures -- but the company does not seem to be suffering from them. Why not? If (as this article suggests) broad focus means that the company will have problems, then here's a company with an absurdly broad focus but few problems: the fire phone being a perfect example that cost money, but apparently didn't distract the company in any particular way.
