On Sunday December 18, 2016 at approximately 1:00PM (EST) Amazon Corporation – (Amazon.com, Inc.) - through their division known as the Amazon Mechanical Turk team, suspended my account without warning and without explanation. I attempted to make contact with Amazon at the corporate level and evidently there is no recourse presently available to lift this unjustified suspension. My Complaint: I have $160.87 in earnings, plus $4.92 in bonuses due from approved work on my account at the time of this suspension. This suspension has blocked me from any access to my account including these monies that I have earned. According to a message on December 18, 2016 (See copy below) - from a representative of Amazon - these monies would be “considered”
One of the Board’s responsibility is to conduct disciplinary proceedings. Conducting disciplinary responsibility relates to the mission of NSBON because it ensures that the public’s safety is protected. Conducting disciplinary proceedings ensures that nursing practice acts and laws are followed. In doing this, NSBON is ensuring the safety of the public by considering whether a violation has been committed. The suspension or
More than likely not. As stated by the court, “the motion and opposition presented the issues whether the e-mail terms were sufficiently complete and definite to form an agreement and whether Amazon had intent to be bound by them.” (Basis Technology Corp V. Amazon.com, Inc.) So, there was no issue with the agreement’s form, there was only a question of intent. The only reason the terms were objected to was because “it concluded a trial.” (Basis Technology Corp V. Amazon.com, Inc.) Since terms expressed orally can be as binding as ones

Bezos believes in the value of customer satisfaction and this is the Amazon.com main objective. A huge number of measurable goals are used to track the rate of how Amazon performs and wishes to perform. Not surprisingly, an astonishing eighty percent of those goals are related to the satisfaction of the customer. Bezos primarily concern is improving the performance of the organization and customer service. Personnel issues are given secondary importance and attention. As Stone has emphasized (2013), Kim Rachmeler , who worked for Amazon.com for more than a decade, affirm that “This is not somebody who takes pleasure at tearing someone a new a--hole. He is not that kind of person. Jeff doesn’t tolerate
Part of the company's successful turnaround lays in the partnership its Toysrus.com unit formed with Amazon.com just over two years ago to sell toys online. Under the agreement, Amazon.com is responsible for handling all orders, including shipping and customer service, for Toysrus.com. The primary responsibility of Toysrus.com is to choose the toys to offer online and make sure there's plenty of available stock.

Jeff Bezo’s began Amazon in his garage in July 1995 with three Sun workstations setting on wooden doors for tables and extension cords running from everywhere (Academy of Achievement, 2010). Right from the beginning he was a visionary leaving his well paying job as a senior vice president with D. E. Shaw to begin Amazon.com (Academy of Achievement, 2010). Being the visionary that he is he saw an opportunity prompted by the huge growth rate of internet use in a single year and ran with it never looking back. Jeff realized that the internet had “no real commerce to speak of” so he began researching possible businesses (Academy of Achievement, 2010). “After reviewing 20 mail order businesses and deciding which could be conducted more efficiently over the internet than by traditional means he decided on books” (Academy of Achievement, 2010). He thought books were perfect because attempting to send huge catalogs for all the available books would be expensive and cumbersome, but an online resource database that was easy to navigate would provide customers with easy access and a single point from which to shop. “In 30 days, with no press, Amazon had sold books in all 50 states and 45 foreign countries, obviously by the success of Amazon he was right (Academy of Achievement, 2010). In a case study written by Javad Kargar called “Amazon.com in 2003” he stated that “Amazon's online store was a big hit, with about $5 million in the first year of operations” (2004). This huge success so quickly would have confirmed for Jeff that his idea was viable and drove him to continue to strive for more. Jeff Bezo’s charismatic-visionary leadership is the key to his and Amazon’s success.
In my own experience in the business world, a customer would feel satisfied and grateful of the product and service, especially when the employee dedicates his or her time and ability to manage the customer. When it comes to customer service or fast delivery, Amazon hails to provide products and services by any means of keeping a loyal customer. An example of this service is the Amazon Prime, which was created to offer loyal customers the best discounts on sold items, fast shipping, and membership to features like unlimited music streaming. These types of services to loyal customers shows the innovation that employees took time to plan about. The strict and harsh regulation of the company reminds the employees and managers to work to their full potential so that they can serve customers
Amazon has Corporate Governance, which includes a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. This code addresses twelve different aspects of their business including, compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, conflicts of interest, insider trading policy, discrimination and harassment, health and safety, price fixing, bribery, recordkeeping, and financial integrity, questions, periodic certification, board of directors, and waivers. Basic guiding principles of how their employees should conduct business in reference to these aspects are included in the descriptions. While these guidelines are kept quite brief, extra emphasis is placed on Conflicts of Interest. A heightened sense of concern is placed on whether employees use their personal benefits on family members or affiliates and if position in the company or relationships with outside affiliates interferes with employee’s objective business judgment. A common theme found throughout this code is an emphasis on cautionary business, including many laws that employees are expected to comply with to ensure that they do not interfere...
Amazon’s macro-environment is made up of six external factors: political, economic, environmental, technological, social, and legal conditions. These factors are important because they shape how the company operates and you must know each piece to be able to compete within the retail and eCommerce industry. An evolving political factor are the efforts the government has made toward punishing offenders of cyber-crime. This kind of thief wasn’t walking into your store, but hacking into your computer. This type of crime wasn’t possible before the internet. The government has started to take these crimes more serious as technology evolves. Technology is a factor that Amazon.com must invest heavily in. They are reliant on having top of the line technology to survive against cyber-crime and to stay relevant in the tech world. ECommerce is everywhere now and competition is very high. This brings in legal conditions; Amazon must know what laws exist in which countries because they are a
Launched by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 and is today considered as one of the most prominent retail website on the internet with a record turnover of US$ 14.87 billion in 2007. Jeff Bezos’s intention was to create an internet based company with the most dedicated product portfolio on the internet where customers could find anything they might want. Amazon’s success is based on technology, services and products (Jens et al., 2003).
Amazon has recorded a magnificent success in its business throughout the years that it has been in operation. It has attracted almost all people to use it when necessary. Amazon has built its success in business methodically and slowly. Amazon has made much success because of its ability to read market trends and diversify its operations. It started as an online book selling company. However, it changed its operations and started selling other products. Currently, many large retail shops use Amazon to host and power their websites, for instance, sears and virgin megastores. Amazon now attracts over fifty million visitors in a period of one month. Amazon has tried to make their services fit each individual user. It has based its services on the end user. It has shipping discounts, customer product reviews and a credit card with bonuses. It also has prime membership, product forums and 1-click ordering system among other services. The company has tried to make a remarkable experience for customers and visitors (Thomas, 2006).
Amazon.com was a venture into an emerging market of internet and had to face hidden and unexpected hurdles in order to survive and excel in the market. Therefore, Amazon.com kept modifying its strategies with their focus on enhancing customer experience of online shopping and to delivery exceptional services with complete convenience to their customers. One of the major strategic decisions was to compromise on cost saving stragegy when Amazon.com started to maintain its own warehouses in different countries in order to ensure timely and accurate delivery to their customers
