Amazon Ventures Into Singapore with Prime Now Services

Online retail giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has launched Prime Now in Singapore, marking the conglomerate's first foray into Southeast Asia with the rapid delivery service. The service offers free two-hour deliveries for a large range of products including groceries. “We are excited to introduce the busy people in Singapore to this convenient, ultra-fast delivery solution to get more time back to do the things they love,” said Prime Now Asia- Pacific director Aarif Nakhooda. “Prime Now is powered by Amazon’s more than 20 years of operational and technological excellence and hundreds of Singapore’s talented and skilled associates.” Singapore Economic Development Board managing director Kiren Kumar said Amazon would leverage data and technology to achieve greater resource efficiency. “With Prime Now, Amazon will also play a key role in training and equipping our local ecosystem and workforce with cross-disciplinary digital capabilities," he said. "This is an excellent example of a global technology company contributing to Singapore’s ambition to be a Smart Nation and a location for businesses to innovate and create new value for the world.” Prime Now is an exclusive service for members of Amazon Prime, a membership program to launch in Singapore soon with additional benefits to come. For a limited time, Prime Now will be available in Singapore to try without a Prime membership. Since launching in December 2014 in New York, Prime Now has expanded to more than 50 FreshFruitPortal.com cities in nine countries including Berlin, London, Madrid, Rome and Tokyo. The announcement comes the same week as Amazon boss Jeff Bezos was reported to have become the richest man in the world, after the multinational's share's rose.

Jeff Bezos founded the electronic commerce company Amazon in 1995, a name chosen for his taste for the Amazon River. Their service was somewhat novel to netizens, resulting in the increase in visits fastly. Only in the first month of operation, and to Bezos' own happiness, had books been sold in all corners of the United States. Months later it reached 2,000 daily visitors, a figure that would multiply abysmally in the next year.

Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.Com
For the exclusive use of Q. Mays, 2020. 9-718-481 REV: JANUARY 21, 2020 DAVID COLLIS ANDY WU REMBRAND KONING HUAIYI CICI SUN Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.com At the start of 2018, Walmart faced critical decisions about its future as e-commerce continued to explode. Walmart just lost its long-held crown as the most valuable retailer in the world to online leader Amazon. With Amazon’s recent acquisition of Whole Foods for $13 billion, Amazon moved aggressively into the offline world to challenge Walmart in its biggest business, grocery. Walmart was not standing still, making moves like buying Jet.com for $3 billion in 2016. While Walmart’s U.S. e- commerce revenues grew to $11.5 billion in 2017, there was no debate in Bentonville, AR: Walmart remained far behind. The question for Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and Walmart.com head Marc Lore was how to respond to its most aggressive competitor ever (Exhibits 1a and 1b).1 Amazon The Early Years (1994–2001) Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 to exploit the Internet, still a relatively nascent technology. He determined that selling books online was most promising, because the number of titles available was greater than even the largest brick-and-mortar store could stock. Bezos and his wife drove west to start “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore” in Seattle, WA. Amazon offered 1 million titles for sale on its opening day in July 1995. Next year, the company had over 2.5 million book titles for sale, with revenue doubling every quarter (Exhibit 2).

ARTMAN SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Supply Chain Management with honors in Supply Chain Management Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert A. Novack Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management Thesis Supervisor John Spychalski Professor Emeritus of Supply Chain Management Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract The objective of this thesis will be to examine Amazon's past supply chain strategies that have allowed them to set a new precedence in the e-commerce world, as well as explore Amazon's newest logistical initiatives as they continuously enhance their supply chain network's speed and cost efficiency. The final analysis of this academic research is reached by exploring an in-depth look into the strategic supply chain initiatives of Amazon’s past, present, and proposed future. For example, this research examines what Amazon has used in recent years that have lead them to becoming the United States’ largest online retailer, and revolutionized e-commerce shopping through fast yet cost-effective processing and shipping methods. This analysis then proceeds to examine Amazon's current and upcoming network strategies, not only to gain a deeper understanding of them, but also to provide evidence and theory on how Amazon could potentially improve upon their existing and proposed methods. This thesis creates a platform that students and professionals can reference to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of Amazon's supply chain strategy since its creation in 1994.

Amazon's Prime Ambition
Amazon’s Prime Ambition Roger Sumner-Rivers, Founder: ParcelHero www.parcelhero.com AMAZON’S PRIME AMBITION: WHY AMAZON’S NEW LOGISTICS REVOLUTION COULD SAVE IT $3BN A YEAR AND TAKE IT HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH TRADITIONAL CARRIERS How the internet giant will use logistics to become the ‘pipe through which everything you buy flows’. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The global internet retailer Amazon introduced its Amazon Logistics service in the UK in 2012 as a test-bed for its eventual role out across Europe and the US, and a precursor to some significant changes in its customer offering, particularly in its Prime service. There are a number of key reasons behind the e-commerce giant’s move into logistics: 1. Amazon claims its new logistics arm is simply to ‘complement’ existing delivery companies and support its key strategy of strengthening its Prime service to encourage customer loyalty. However, to support the scale of such a logistics operation, a number of industry experts believe it may well become a logistics provider in its own right, competing with established companies such as UPS and Yodel. 2. Amazon stands to save $3bn globally and £122 million in the UK alone this year by cutting down on the use of external delivery companies, and could look to its logistics arm becoming a net income source rather than a $5.13bn yearly expense. 3. Amazon Logistics’ introduction means it is not beholden to traditional mailing services such as the Royal Mail, and can support its Prime service actively by boosting lucrative Sunday deliveries and Same-Day Delivery services.

Amazon - Positioned to Be a Superior Investment Over the Next Decade
Decision 2025 Amazon - positioned to be a superior investment over the next decade. Team: Bluejays Bob Mills Reed Janousek Anthony Cerasoli To complete this case our team used Google Docs to collaborate, iPads to research, transcribed 10Ks on laptops in Starbucks and ultimately a 20 page paper materialized despite us having met for all of three hours in person. 10 years ago this effort would have had us locked in the library for the full 10 days. In 10Y the PESTEL environment surrounding a company can shift so dramatically an industry can literally disappear. With that in mind we approached with caution the notion of developing a relevant 10Y recommendation for two extremely different companies. THE FINANCIALS Because the Walmart business model and strategy produces stable transparent financial statements we chose the Dividend Discount Model methodology to value Walmart. The ten year time frame incorporated the recently announced investment in e-commerce and people with the subsequent expected rebound in earnings. Amazon was valued using a sum-of-the-parts approach with EV/EBITDA as the multiple. By splitting Amazon into North America, International and Amazon Web Services (AWS), forecasting EBITDA and applying comp-based multiples we were able to derive an enterprise value. After backing out net debt we arrived at a market cap that could be translated into a share price. We believe that Amazon will deliver a higher 10 year holding period return. Our financial models suggest Amazon will return 23.4% annualized versus 10.0% for Walmart. Recently their equity values have sharply diverged. Amazon spiked on the success of AWS while a deceleration in Walmart earnings followed by a 3Q15 surprise has sent its stock spiraling.

THE STATE of Amazon Prime in 2021 Inside the Minds of Amazon’S Most Valuable Spenders Introduction
THE STATE OF Amazon Prime in 2021 Inside the Minds of Amazon’s Most Valuable Spenders Introduction Amazon Prime, the free shipping subscription service with more than 150 million members in the U.S., marks its 15th anniversary this year and seems poised for even more success in the future. As the nation contends with the effects of COVID-19, membership loyalty remains strong due to the convenience, speed, and the competitive pricing that Prime offers. Prime sets the standard for efficiency, selection, and ease of use for the ecommerce industry as a whole—and as the retail sector retools for a rebuilt economy, it’s a good time to take a few pages out of Amazon’s playbook. Here’s what we’ll explore in our exclusive study: A snapshot of the current impact of global changes on Amazon Prime Changing Prime member demographics (a look at three key personas) The breakdown of Prime member spending—how and how much The most appealing Prime perks and products The impact of competitors such as Walmart METHODOLOGY This survey was commissioned by Tinuiti and conducted by Survata, an independent research firm in San Francisco. Survata interviewed 2001 consumers between August 05, 2020, and August 10, 2020. Respondents were screened with the question: “Are you an Amazon Prime Member?”. Survey respondents were reached when they took a survey to access content or a service, such as free Wi- Fi. Consumers receive no monetary payment for their participation. More information on Survata’s methodology can be found at survata.com/methodology. Amazon Prime Shopping in Uncertain Times Even a phenomenon like Amazon doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and in 2020, external forces have shaped retail to a larger extent than ever.
