Jeff Bezos: 我坚信亚马逊要成为人们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。早在公司成立之初，我就希望亚马逊不仅仅是一个人们偶尔购买书籍或纸巾的地方，而是要融入到美国乃至全球消费者的生活方式中。为此，我们不断扩展业务范围，从最初的在线书店发展到涵盖云服务、人工智能、医疗保健等多个领域的综合性企业。我的目标是让亚马逊成为人们每天都会使用的服务，无论他们是否意识到这一点。 Dana Mattioli: 贝索斯先生的战略眼光和销售技巧是亚马逊成功的关键。他成功说服华尔街用不同的标准来评估亚马逊，允许公司将利润再投资于增长和创新，而不是像传统零售商那样追求短期盈利。这种策略使亚马逊能够建立起庞大的物流网络和先进的电商平台，从而在竞争中脱颖而出。此外，亚马逊对竞争对手的关注和学习也是其成功的因素之一。虽然公司声称不关注竞争对手，但实际上他们花费大量时间研究竞争对手的商业模式和技术，并从中学习和改进。
