This seems like one of those "warm and fuzzy" things to frame and put on a wall somewhere, but I don't believe (based on my experience) that Amazon is far superior in this respect compared to others (though there are many companies with absolutely pathetic customer service). As an external observer, I see Amazon's primary and foremost principle as one to grow market share at almost any cost (to anyone) and crush competition through that route.
- jst1970 9y agoIt does seem like "one of those 'warm and fuzzy' things to frame and put on a wall somewhere", but that is precisely the point. Whereas most companies do easy things such as that, Amazon is quite different in that it really does guide their strategy and approach. That doesn't mean they don't want to grow and be successful, rather they recognize you can't sustain one without the other.
