Amazon is the organization I chose to focus on this assignment.

Amazon has a huge impact on consumers. They inspire on-line shopping by making their
website user friendly. They have fast shipping, comparable pricing compare to instore shopping,
and have a vast variety of items to shop for, making it a one stop shop. All by shopping from the
comfort of your home. There’s the desktop version and the mobile app version. Having these
options make it easy to shop. This is called the “Amazon Effect”. Members get free two-day
shipping on millions of items, meaning they can order something today and receive it at their
doorstep in just two days, without paying extra shipping fees. This creates an expectation of fast,
free delivery.
One behavior Amazon discourages is physical retail shopping. By giving consumers, the
luxury of shopping from your home or office and having things delivered in as little as two days
right to your doorstep, they take away from traditional shopping habits.
One eco leadership approach amazon uses is the focus on customer satisfaction. Amazon is
constantly striving to improve its operations and deliver better service to its customers. This
commitment to continuous improvement is an example of the eco approach. I think because
Amazon is so focused on customer satisfaction, they set such a high standard and meet it every
time. Amazon uses a data-driven decision-making approach. What this entails is the company
uses reviews from customers, purchase history, browsing patterns, and product reviews to gain
insight on customer preferences and needs. They use all this info to personalize the shopping
experience, recommend products, and tailor marketing campaigns.*A few strategies that Amazon
is implementing to ensure long-term growth are Customer focus, innovation, expansion, and data
driven decision making. What these mean are implanting customers’ needs and wants. Investing
in research and development to keep up with what’s new and what’s mostly wanted and needed
by the consumers. Expanding the distribution of products by building new warehouses
throughout the world. Using the data analytics to help continue to grow the company.
