    Amazon’s Antitrust Fair Play, a Transatlantic Evaluation ANGELOS VLAZAKIS AND ANGELIKI VARELA For the first time after a century, antitrust law has been making head- lines around the country. Amazon, among other technological giants, finds itself in the middle of a cyclone against economic power. This article joins the endeavor of several scholars to understand Amazon’s conduct, but through a different lens. It tries to see the big picture of Amazon’s relevant market of operation, it evaluates indirect and potential competition and reaches the conclusion that the legendary e-retailer has a weak monopoly, if not any monopoly power. Subsequently, the article assesses several doctrines that could sanction Amazon’s market conduct through comparative legal re- search between American and European law to reach the conclusion that a broad interpretation of the current theory would have an adverse impact on social welfare. What if Amazon is a fair market player after all? . Angelos Vlazakis is an Attorney-at-Law; Onassis Foundation Scholar for Anti- trust Law; LL.M., University of Chicago; LL.M. in European Law (hons.) and LL.B.

  • JD: Envisioning the Future of Retail
    N9-618-051 REV: MAY 18, 2018 FENG ZHU SHIRLEY SUN JD: Envisioning the Future of Retail After celebrating JD’s 13th birthday on June 18, 2017, Richard Liu, the company’s founder, chairman and CEO, observed the construction site outside his office window. JD was the second largest e- commerce company in China by gross merchandise volume (GMV). (See Exhibit 1 on JD’s growth over the years.) The new office building expanded JD’s headquarters in Beijing, China, and symbolized the company’s recent success. June 18 not only marked JD’s founding, it also represented a shopping festival established by the company—and had quickly become one of China’s largest online shopping festivals in addition to the massive Singles’ Day sale on November 11, originally a festival for youths to celebrate their singlehood, as represented by the date’s four single digits “11.11.” From June 1-18, JD offered special promotions followed by other online retailers. In 2017, JD amassed a $17.6 billion in total transaction volume during that period, an increase of over 50% compared to the same period in the previous year.1 As JD challenged Alibaba more directly, Liu had to decide how to generate continued growth. To him, one important competitiveness of JD lay in the company’s self-operated nationwide logistics network and developments in proprietary technologies.2 With control over fulfillment and delivery, JD was able to offer same-or-next-day delivery as a standard service for Chinese consumers, a strategy that had won customers’ hearts over the years.3 This fulfillment capability put JD in the leadership position, even when compared to its US counterparts such as Amazon.

    GS1 Japan Handbook 2020-2021 Message from the President Message from the President GS1 Japan was established in 1972 as a specialised institution for the rationalisation and standardisation of distribution systems, and has since worked to promote the introduction of various distribution standards and their application systems. Since we joined GS1 (then called EAN) in 1978, as the representative of Japan, we have been encouraging the use of GS1 standards such as GTIN. (Refer to 4.3) In addition to the standardisation activities above, GS1 Japan has also been providing various services, such as Ryutsu BMS (the Internet-based standard EDI massages for Japanese retailers and wholesalers, Refer to 2.6) and GJDB (GS1 Japan Data Bank, Refer to 2.2). GJDB was launched in October 2019 with the primary purpose of helping GS1 Company Prefix licensees (brand owners) in Japan to easily compose GTINs and manage their own product information. Number of parties have already started utilising this service. GJDB is a system that takes into account GS1’s global policies, such as its linkage to the GS1 Registry Platform. GS1 Japan will further enhance its services in response to the digitalisation of the distribution industry. We are also promoting the use of GS1 standards in the healthcare sector. GS1 Japan, healthcare industry and the government have been working together to ensure patient safety as well as supply chain efficiency, resulting in the source marking of GS1 standard barcodes on almost all prescription drugs and medical devices. Stimulating the standardised use of RFID tags through domestic business organisations is one of our major activities.
