Behind The Idea #45: Amazon's Path To Physical Retail Dominance With Priya Anand
We've made it to the end of our Amazon miniseries. To bring things home, we talk with Priya Anand of The Information. She tells us about what she's seeing from Amazon's competition and potential regulators and what that might mean for the company. We build on a few of the same threads from previous podcasts, like Amazon's sterling reputation and know-no-bounds business approach, but break into some new ground on the physical store front and other areas.
