So, as Amazon has entered more and more markets, it's grown into a massive behemoth of a corporation. And while its obsession with customer focus has served it well historically, it has fallen behind other tech companies when it comes to innovations and work culture. It doesn't help that Amazon's vastly different business segments clash with each other and the company's obsession with efficieny. A business unit like AWS doesn't require the same culture as a business built on razor thin margins like logistics. It's also becoming increasingly obvious just how challenging it is to manage such a vast and broad company. Alibaba in China recently annouced a segmentation onto different business units. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/alibaba-splits-into-six-units-that-may-pursue-individual-ipos-bloomberg-news-2023-03-28/ Should Amazon follow suit and break up into seperate companies? If so, how many? #amazon #tech
AWS should be spun off simply to unlock its value. So many companies refuse to spend cloud computing resources with them simply because they have other business units which compete with them (for example retail- Walmart, Etsy, etc.) Amazon should not be broken up for any anti trust reason because it’s not vertically integrated Also what Alibaba did is simply separate the business units internally within the firm. It’s all still part of alibaba
Amazon the shopping site doesn't make that much profit, AWS is their cash cow like advertising is for Google, Meta spinning it out would be bad for the stakeholders.
What stakeholders? Every current shareholder would get 1 stock in the new business
Same for Microsoft.
Should be done like alphabet.
I mean Amazon already owns some random stuff like whole foods, which I think is a separate company still? Idk but. Aws could maybe be spun off, but who knows. Music and audible and prime video don't rly make much sense separately in terms of benefit to consumers. What else is there? I'm not particularly concerned about the size of Amazon or anything rn, and it seems like antitrust isn't either, so why should you be?
Think maybe AWS, Ads and Consumer should break off. Maybe a separate logistics business (BWP, order fulfillment).
Ads without consumer is meaningless
A massive behemoth that struggles to make money consistently

If Amazon decides to spin off units that is fine. What is not acceptable is government interference in Amazon's corporate structure.
