Article Writing Homework Help

SCENARIO: The world’s population is aging rapidly and it has contributed to changing business in Amazon.

Recently, Amazon has entered the healthcare market and connects global suppliers with customers of

healthcare products. This has contributed to decrease in price of healthcare items but has increased access

to unreliable and (sometimes) dangerous suppliers who might not use the same quality standard as their

competitor’s. However, for many large and small hospitals, it is beneficial to use Amazon suppliers because

of the fast delivery and low prices. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed on managing the risk of buying

healthcare related items purchased through Amazon.
