Supply Chain in Retail

Amazon has a LARGE amount of time, money and resources invested in its supply chains. They are a leader in earnings and sales on the annual National Retail Federation "Top Retailers" List - and they provide a great example of how supply chains operate.

This week, you are going to look at Amazon's role in the supply chain from both sides by answering the following:

1. Imagine that you are a United States-based manufacturer/supplier that makes sandals - and you want to sell them to consumers via Amazon:

  • Please identify and explain in detail a "pro" or positive to using Amazon to sell to consumers.
  • Please identify and explain in detail a "con" or negative to using Amazon to sell to consumers.

2. Imagine that you are someone in the United States labor force who is looking for a job:

  • Please identify and explain in detail a "pro" or positive to working for Amazon.
  • Please identify and explain in detail a "con" or negative working for Amazon.

3. Imagine that you are a typical consumer (or retail shopper) in the United States:

  • Please identify and explain in detail a "pro" or positive for a consumer shopping with Amazon.
  • Please identify and explain in detail a "con" or negative for a consumer shopping with Amazon.

4. After looking at these pros and cons, what is your takeaway about Amazon's position/influence/role in the marketing supply chain - today and in the future?

Please refer to the resources and videos below, along with your text in Chapters 15 and 16 and the Week 4 Lecture for more information to help answer these questions, and on supply chain relationships in general. You are also welcome to do your own research or bring in other topics that we have discussed this semester if they relate to these questions. Please note, also, that this question is helping you to look at questions and issues from different angles - which is a great way to develop your critical thinking skills!
