This complete summary of the ideas from Robert Spector's book "Amazon.com. Get Big Fast" points to the fact that not many of us would have thought, twenty years ago, that we would be buying books from a computer, let alone reading them from a digital tablet. Interestingly, the idea for Amazon was conceived when Jeff Bezos, a Wall Street neophyte, was assigned the task of coming up with a profitable Internet businesses. The idea of selling books on the Internet was the one which seemed to create the most interesting opportunities. An online bookstore would have a competitive advantage to physical stores – it could store endless titles and respond to its customers’ preferences. This summary talks about how Amazon came into being and how Bezos developed the culture of his company, looking to Microsoft, FedEx and Walt Disney for inspiration. With an obsession for customer service he introduced functions like book recommendations and one-click buying. "In less than four years, Amazon.com went from zero to $2.6 billion in sales". With those stats in mind it comes as no surprise that Amazon’s company motto is to "Work hard, have fun and make history." And make history it certainly has... Added-value of this summary: • Save time • Understand the key concepts • Increase your business knowledge To learn more, read "Amazon.com. Get Big Fast" and discover how to succeed in an Internet business.

Starting in the early 1990s, journalists and scholars began responding to and trying to take account of new technologies and their impact on our lives. By the end of the decade, the full-fledged study of cyberculture had arrived. Today, there exists a large body of critical work on the subject, with cutting-edge studies probing beyond the mere existence of virtual communities and online identities to examine the social, cultural, and economic relationships that take place online. Taking stock of the exciting work that is being done and positing what cyberculture’s future might look like, Critical Cyberculture Studies brings together a diverse and multidisciplinary group of scholars from around the world to assess the state of the field. Opening with a historical overview of the field by its most prominent spokesperson, it goes on to highlight the interests and methodologies of a mobile and creative field, providing a much-needed how-to guide for those new to cyberstudies. The final two sections open up to explore issues of race, class, and gender and digital media's ties to capital and commerce—from the failure of dot-coms to free software and the hacking movement. This flagship book is a must-read for anyone interested in the dynamic and increasingly crucial study of cyberculture and new technologies.
