Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a Seattle, Washington-based diversified technology company with significant exposure in the field of e-commerce and cloud computing services.

To combat the slowdown in the e-commerce business due to rising inflation and weakness in customer sentiment, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is working on launching a feature similar to the short video platform TikTok on its mobile application. The short-duration feed will be called Inspire and will display photos and videos that are expected to generate higher engagement and more conversion into sales. Nicholas Jones at JMP Securities considers this a potential game-changer for the company. However, the rollout and the retail numbers in the Q4 earnings need to be analyzed to understand its complete impact on the company’s financial health.

Here’s what Farnam Street Investments said about Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Change doesn’t just impact investors. Business people also bet for or against change. Jeff Bezos was once asked this exact question:

“You can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. It’s impossible to imagine a future ten years from now where a customer comes up and says, ‘Jeff, I love Amazon, I just wish the prices were a little higher.’ Or, ‘I love Amazon, I just wish you’d deliver a little slower.’ Impossible. So we know the energy we put into these things today will still be paying off dividends ten years from now. When you have something you know is true, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it.”

A lot of energy… and more than $172 billion in capital expenditure in the last fifteen years.

Deeper, slower moving layers turn exponential growth into “S-curves.” A rapidly dividing bacteria crashes into the resource-wall of its Petri dish. Nineteenth-century commercial robber barons were smacked by the governance layer of the Sherman Antitrust act. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime free shipping leaned on the creaking infrastructure of the U.S. Postal Service until it was forced to invest in its own infrastructure (all those delivery vans you see driving around).

Hopefully, next time you’re thinking about change, you can recall pace layers as a helpful construct to understand how successful systems change.
