After researching the top 100 companies for class, Zappos.com popped up as one of the top places to work for in 2013. I found an article on Quartz’s website that could explain all the positive reviews about the company. “Zappos is Going Holacratic: No Job Titles, No Managers, No Hierarchy,” examines the company culture of Zappos, and why they are switching from a hierarchal, powerful organization to a holacratic organization (Groth, 2013). Traditionally, the majority of organizations are ordered in some type of hierarchy with communication running from the top to the bottom (Kokemuller). These organizations tend to struggle with power relationships, because there is so much distance between those in charge, and employees (Kokemuller). What Zappos has implemented is a holacracy. According to an article, “Holacracy: How it Works,” a holacracy is defined as, “a distributed authority system – a set of “rules of the game” that bake empowerment into the core of the organization.

Zara’s business model can be broken down into three basic components: concept, capabilities, and value drivers. Zara’s fundamental concept is to maintain design, production, and distribution processes that will enable Zara to respond quickly to shifts in consumer demands. José María Castellano, CEO of Inditex stated that "the fashion world is in constant flux and is driven not by supply but by customer demand. We need to give consumers what they want, and if I go to South America or Asia to make clothes, I simply can't move fast enough."

Business strategy and model: Zappos.com had a differentiation strategy with which they had differentiated themselves from the rest of the market. They had use a unique corporate culture in their company which was one of the major competitive edges of the company. According to the CEO of the company, Tony Hsieh, that everything that they had done at Zappos such as their relationships with 1,200 to 1,500 brands, policies and website style could be copied, however, the only thing that no one could copy from them was their unique culture. Zappos had 10 unique core values as a basis of their company’s culture, employee performance and their overall operations. They were hiring and firing people on the basis of their abilities that whether they were living up to these core values or not.

b) Zara can focus on expanding and increasing the number of outlets in Asian countries such as China and India. The scope of development is very high and the demand for fashionable clothes is increasing at a very fast rate. But it will have to focus on other local competitors who provides the latest fashion at a cheaper rate. As Zara is a known brand, so it would be easy to increase awareness among the consumers through advertisement, promotions and celeb endorsements.
This shows how the employees value their work, it shows their interpersonal skills, as well as how they perceive themselves. Zappos employees need to have strong work ethics because this is important for the job. Consumers need to see proper work ethics for the company to grow. (Michelli, 2012).
With the advent of scientific and technological era, humans’ lives develop a lot. On one hand, connecting with others through texting has in recent decades become an integral part of people’s daily lives. On the other hand, social robots become people’s companions. These achievements affect relationships between people in the end. At the same time, many people choose face-to-face talking to preserve the traditional value.
