    Porter's five forces framework assesses the competitiveness of a business environment. It was developed by Michael Porter in 1979. The document then discusses each of Porter's five forces as they apply to Amazon: 1) bargaining power of suppliers is high since Amazon has many global suppliers but suppliers see Amazon as important; 2) bargaining power of buyers is high as Amazon has many customers worldwide and works to satisfy customers; 3) threat of new entrants is low given Amazon's size and reputation; 4) threat of substitutes is high since there are many alternative online retailers; 5) competitive rivalry is high as Amazon competes directly with companies like Barnes & Noble, eBay, and more recently Google.

    Porter’s Five Forces

    company started off by selling book. The company expanded by proposing several other
    items to its customers. It even produces its own good now.

    Bargaining power of supplier

     Supplier has high power


     Amazon has numerous suppliers across the globe
     Amazon providers of books, audio and technology do not charge their product
    until the latter sell them. (It is a strategy used by big companies)
     Suppliers consider Amazon as an important and prestigious company. Hence, the
    commitment with Amazon is clearly noticeable and essential

    Bargaining power of buyer

     Buyer has high power


     Amazon has panoply of customers from across the world
     It offers wide variety of products in different categories
     Demand is high because of e-marketing era which is at its boom
     Amazon has very little overhead cost because it does not operate retail stores
    (Low price)
     It is a customer centric company, over the years it has diligently provided new
    customer service tactics so that customer is satisfied and does not make
    purchase elsewhere
    Threats of new entrance

     Low threats
     Easy for individual to enter
     Cannot compete with Amazon.com a giant company
     Massive reputation, loyal customers
     High cost involved in the equipment and technology use
     Amazon strategically buys off companies Example: Online shoes stores for $1.2
    billion Zappos. Com and rare book seller Shelfari

    Threats for new substitute

     High number of substitute


     High customer service by Amazon which others cannot- good quality sold by
    Amazon

    Competitive rivalry

     High rivalry Example: Direct competitors such as Internal Retail Websites;


    Barnes and Noble.com; Ebay
     Amazon auctions and Zshops compete with other auctions companies like Ebay;
    Ubid.com and Yahoo etc….
     Amazon’s Ag search engine compete with other search engine such as Google;
    yahoo and Ask.com
     Amazon MP3 compete with Apple’s iTunes
     Lately the new form of competition arose with Google when the company
    announced their aim to compete head to head to Amazon’s web services with
    latest service offering, Google App Engine
