Given how much I've been burnt with that, I wish Amazon sales could plunge and become a study case for "what not to do" in management. Ideally we'd make it a verb: To amazonize your company = To drive it with so short-term metrics that you chip the credibility.

It's why they'll take big gambles, like Prime and Kindle. That long-term thinking has let them get so far ahead of their competitors that even with experience quality declining, I'm sure they'll still do well for quite a while.
