Is This An Amazon Product Manager Failure?

from The Accidental Product Manager Hosted by Jim Anderson

I’m pretty sure that by now we all know who Amazon is. They are the very large company that started out as a book seller and over time has morphed into a company that sells just about everything and seems to do just about everything. The Amazon product managers seem to have an almost golden touch when it comes to their product development definition – everything that they lay their hands on seems to be very successful. They have started offering the world’s most successful cloud service, they bought Whole Foods, and they have just launched one-day deliveries. However, it turns out that not everything that they do is successful. A good example of this is their restaurant delivery business.
