Amazon Connections Contribute to Successful Prospects in Latest Quarter
Yesterday, in light of Apple’s impressive quarterly earnings announcement, we asked if the company was fixing to “pull a Google” (see NewsVisual article). As Amazon prepares to make its own earnings announcement, many are now wondering if the company will follow in the successful footsteps of Apple. Its last two quarters have been exceptional as far as profit growth, and analysts are saying that the “rising proliferation of third-party sellers” in an effort to challenge eBay will once again lead to positive numbers for Amazon in this current quarter (see articles from innmoney and MarketWatch). To help readers gain additional insight into Amazon, we created an IntellectSpace Knowledge Map the company’s Board of Directors, which identifies some of the key corporate entities that may prove advantageous as far as experience and potential future partnerships.
This Knowledge Map illustrates Amazon’s ties to multiple corporate and non-corporate entities through current board and executive affiliations. Some of the more notable entities include Google, Electronic Arts, Sun Microsystems and even the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Patricia Stonesifer, an Amazon Director, works closely with the Gates’ as she now serves as the foundation’s CEO. William Bingham Gordon (Director of Amazon) is the Co-Founder of Electronic Arts, as well as its EVP/Chief Creative Officer. Also, L John Doerr (Director of Amazon) is shown to have a very significant connection as he presently serves as a Director of Google.
These major common connections as shown in the Knowledge Map will likely prove advantageous for Amazon both now an in the future. The company has a wealth of industry experience and relationships on hand that can only add value to the prospects of its upcoming endeavors.
