Read ‘Origin of Wealth’ by Beinhocker and ‘The Goal’ by Goldratt, and you’ll have a clear playbook for how Amazon is designed, run, and scaled. And on the organizational architecture side, I wrote an overview last year:https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/14/why-amazon-is-eating-the-world/ …

I have a theory that Amazon runs chaos monkey at the management level
-
While I have no direct evidence for this point of view, it would explain the heterogeneity across teams and organizations within Amazon, despite continued wins
-
They intentionally do just that! They break off into functional teams that focus on their portion of the company and don’t stress much about if they’re duplicating effort across multiple groups. They build the company like developers build service-driven architecture.
-
more specifically, I mean that they break the management and culture _on purpose_ so that they don't inevitably succumb to big org soup. chaos monkey means you have to develop robust systems because your stuff will break, guaranteed amazon does this at the people level imo
-
everyone has to deal with a bozo explosion. you can either try to prevent it which is like fighting the tide with a mop, or you can become robust to it by accepting it will happen and routing around / expelling damage
-
anyway it's ridiculous to me that no one seems to grasp how important Amazon is. it's going to be bigger than standard oil, maybe on the level of dutch east india if things keep going the way they are in the U.S

As someone who appreciates clear writing (and the clear thinking required to produce it), I’ve always been envious of their policy re: meeting memos. Probably helps to reduce loud voice bias and HiPPO decision-making, too.

Everything store. Everything store. Everything store. It's more ops and MGMT than history IMO. So good.

Why is amazon lauded and Walmart hated? They're the same. But one understands PR.
