Be Like Amazon
by Jeffrey Eisenberg, Bryan Eisenberg and Roy H. Williams
A short parable-style book on Amazon's four pillars, customer centricity, continuous optimization, a culture of innovation and corporate agility, told as a road-trip conversation. Light, quick and aimed at small-business owners who think Amazon's lessons are not for them.
Read it if…

Skip it if…
you want detail or data; the parable is thin.
Try instead: The Ecology of Commerce →
Three things you will actually use
- Customer centricity is a daily practice.
- Optimize continuously, not occasionally.
- Agility beats size.
Do this first
