What's the key learning?

💡With clear value propositions, Amazon has been able to rinse and repeat its business model in many many many countries all over the world.

💡When you know your strengths in one market, you can create a blueprint for success in other markets too. For Amazon, it's all about extensive product range, low prices, and fast delivery.

  • Walmart entered Germany but failed, because German shoppers were skeptical of the quality of lower-priced goods.
