From the bestselling author of The Everything Store, an unvarnished picture of Amazon’s unprecedented growth and its billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, revealing the most important business story of our time.
Almost ten years ago, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone captured the rise of Amazon, an internet pioneer quietly changing the way we shop online, in his bestseller The Everything Store. But ever since, Amazon has expanded exponentially, inventing novel products like Alexa and disrupting countless industries, while its workforce has quintupled in size and its valuation has soared to well over a trillion dollars. Jeff Bezos’s empire, once housed in a garage, now spans the globe. Between services like Whole Foods, Prime Video, and Amazon’s cloud computing unit, AWS, plus Bezos’s ownership of The Washington Post, it’s impossible to go a day without encountering its impact. We live in a world run, supplied, and controlled by Amazon and its iconoclast founder.
In Amazon Unbound, Brad Stone presents a deeply reported, vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became one of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. With unprecedented access to current and former executives, employees, regulators, and critics, Stone shows how seismic changes inside the company over the past decade led to dramatic innovations, as well as to missteps that turned public sentiment against its sharp-elbowed business practices and gameshow treatment of its search for a second headquarters.
Stone also probes the evolution of Bezos himself—who started as a geeky technologist totally devoted to building Amazon, but who transformed to become a fit, disciplined billionaire with global ambitions; who ruled Amazon with an iron fist, even as he found his personal life splashed over the tabloids. As his empire expands, the book investigates how Bezos gradually pulled away from day-to-day activities at Amazon to focus on his many interests outside of it, announcing his momentous transition from CEO to executive chairman.
Definitive, timely, and revelatory, Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait of a man and company that we couldn’t imagine modern life without.
前大半部寫得很詳實,把亞麻的幾個大成就梳理瞭一遍,從Alexa到Amazon Go,到AWS,到在印度的成就,亞麻真的是個神奇的不斷創新的公司。後麵開寫Bezos的婚變以及對新冠的應對,感覺寫得有些倉促瞭。R認為Brad Stone骨子裏是反亞麻的,通過這本書迎閤反壟斷的敘事。另外這本書還是我司八卦大全,看得很爽,很多人看完瞭我就去phonetool一下看看他們的employment history哈哈!很多事我都隻聽說過大概,結果在這本書裏知道瞭全貌,大大地滿足瞭我的八卦欲望!比如Amazon Studio的醜聞,HQ2的前後,以及Amazon Mexico老大殺妻,真是比電影還精彩。
評分##腦殘粉。
評分##描述2012年後亞馬遜的一些大事:Alexa, Amazon Go, India, HQ2, 離婚… Bezos和S Team的的成功品質: 成功的欲望,工作狂,嚴厲甚至對人苛刻的沒有同理心。
評分##Very well written and a good read.
評分##一部客觀的亞馬遜&世界首富成長史。
評分##已讀中文版
評分##兩周讀完,part 1像商業小說一樣好看:做Echo時最欠缺的是數據入口,後邊做Amazon Go接入人類行動數據抓取,阿裏一直努力想做社交app來獲取數據訓練AI,Amazon從産品角度實現瞭把用戶培養成AI的糧草。同樣是海量産品要解決用戶選擇糾結,馬雲是用直播來替實現用戶需要的推薦,Amazon是培養Alexa技術嚮實現;應對廉價、山寨用戶下沉的Wish,展現瞭跟阿裏應對拼多多完全不同的策略。logistics從兩天到一天,在大陸敗給阿裏、京東,但卻充分利用好敵人的優勢,硬是在內部做成瞭阿裏+京東+順豐+美團+everything。佩服作者,把世界上業務最復雜的公司寫的如此有清晰、有趣、耐讀,讀完重新認識瞭Amazon,也重新認識瞭阿裏巴巴。innovator到底需要什麼氛圍,難說清呢。
評分##寫的太瑣碎瞭,各種大小事情寫瞭一籮筐,反而分不清主次瞭。
評分##每章之間的關係比較鬆散,講瞭亞馬遜對新産品(如echo/Alexa)係統的創新,在一些國際市場的擴張故事如中國和印度市場的經驗和墨西哥的大幅擴張,貝索斯自己對華盛頓郵報的投資等等。挖掘瞭一些有爭議的話題 但是似乎沒有得到亞馬遜的支持所以話題隻是拋瞭齣來但沒有亞馬遜的解釋
