Die einzigartige Geschichte von Amazon. Nahezu jeder kennt und nutzt Amazon. Amazon hat es geschafft, jeden Haushalt der Welt zu erreichen. Zunächst mit einem unschlagbaren Online-Shopping-Angebot, dann durch eine gnadenlose Expansion in sämtliche Bereiche unseres Lebens: Smart-Home-Angebote, Cloud-Computing-Lösungen, Logistikdienstleistungen, Lebensmittellieferungen - sogar unser Fernsehprogramm stellt der Online-Riese mit einem Lächeln bereit. Was hat dieses Unternehmen vor, das in den vergangenen zehn Jahren seinen Unternehmenswert auf über eine Billion US-Dollar geschraubt hat? Oder besser: Was treibt Jeff Bezos an, den Wirtschaftsführer, der weltweit ebenso respektiert wie gefürchtet ist? Mit Amazon hat er eine Macht erschaffen, die unsere Welt am Laufen hält, sie versorgt und kontrolliert. Bloomberg-Journalist und New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autor Brad Stone zeichnet in seinem neuen Buch das facettenreiche Porträt des Mannes und seines weltumspannenden Unternehmens, ohne das wir uns unser Leben kaum mehr vorstellen können. In diesem Hörbuch erfahren Sie: - die Geschichte des Amazon Gründers Jeff Bezos, der in den Augen der Öffentlichkeit viele Gesichter hat; - wie ein führendes Tech-Unternehmen im Verlauf eines einzigen Jahrzehnts so allmächtig werden konnte; - wie einer der größten Geschäftsmänner der Welt vom Weg abzukommen schien und ihn dann wiederzufinden versuchte - inmitten einer entsetzlichen weltweiten Pandemie.

Amazon Unbound

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. With the publication of The Everything Store in 2013, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone revealed how the unlikely Seattle start-up Amazon became an unexpected king of ecommerce. Since then, its founder has led Amazon to explosive growth in both size and wealth. In less than ten years, Amazon has quintupled the size of its workforce and increased its valuation to well over a trillion dollars. Whereas Amazon used to sell only books, there is now little they don't sell, becoming the world's largest online retailer and pushing into other markets at warp speed. Between Amazon's forty subsidiaries - like Whole Foods Market, Amazon Studios in Hollywood, websites like Goodreads and IMDb, and Amazon Web Services cloud software unit, plus Bezos's purchase of the Washington Post - it's almost impossible to go a day without encountering their goods. Amazon provides us opportunities to shop, entertain, inform, communicate, store and, one day, maybe even travel to the moon. We live in a world run, supplied and controlled by Amazon. In Amazon Unbound, Stone offers the must-read follow-up to his bestseller The Everything Store, detailing the seismic changes that have taken place at Amazon over the past decade as it became one of the most powerful and feared companies in the global economy, led by one of the most powerful and feared leaders in business. He shows the acquisitions and innovations that have propelled Amazon's unprecedented growth, and the turn in public sentiment that criticises Amazon's monopolistic practices. As he charts the company's meteoric rise, Stone probes the evolution of Jeff Bezos - who started as a geeky entrepreneur but who transformed to become a fit, famed, disciplined billionaire, a man who runs Amazon with an iron fist but finds his personal life splashed over the tabloids. Definitive, timely and revelatory, Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait of a man and company that we couldn't imagine modern life without.
