I will pay for the following article Strategic Decisions That Led to Success of Amazon. The work is to be 10 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Since July 1995 when it began, Amazon.com has enjoyed a 30 percent increase in business every month. Industry analysts believe the company is grossing up to $12 million a year.

This had included offering the world’s biggest collection of goods and services in a vast array of categories (Stockport & Ivory 2004: 648)
