Dumb question I guess...what is a fulfillment company? All you need in the way of "web based" is a website, a shopping cart, and a way to collect the money, generate invoices and receipts (like PayPal).\n\nNo tell me the answer to my question and I might be able to help...lol.

I used to work for the United States Commercial Trade Service in San Francisco, and we deal with this sort of thing all the time. We connect small businesses here in the US with international vendors. Plus, it's a free service offered by the government, for the most part. If you want specific information, then they start charging you. Their website is www.export.gov \n\nGood Luck!

Depends on what it is, how much it weighs, where it's coming from and where it's going.\n\nUPS, FedEx, DHL and US postal service are just a few options.  Call each and ask.  \n\nSorry I can't be of more help.

In terms of business unit strategy, of Porter's generic strategies, Walmart is attribute the "Low Cost" strategy instead of the differentiation or scope/niche strategy. \n  In terms of functional operational strategies, they are pursuing value chain optimization, service, marketing strategies which all have their own jargon.  In terms of international strategies they tend to pursue "Direct Investment" strategies where they prefer to build or buy their expansion rather than partner with existing firms.

Interesting quiestion.\n\n1) Go Multi-Local: A great way to improve revenue while leveraging their strongest asset (customer focus technology)would be to go multi local expanding into high throughput consumer economies (such as Germany and Japan) If amazon would launch multi-local sites with strong logistics.\n\nEven atypical markets would be good for Amazon they could follow the example of ebay in latin america (check out a case study on ebay´s latin american branch http://www.deremate.com )\n\n2) Go into alternate service markets:\n\nThe back bone of amazon´s success is the strong logistics motor that links customer traking and physical delivery. Amazon could create a new brand umbrella and sell Logistics outsourcing for Distribution centers. (go into a segment dominated today by ryder, and dhl) In a way they have allready started to exploit this strenght offering electronic storefronts for small businesses but it would be great if their distribution center knowelege could be sold to traditional retail giants such as K Mart.\n\n3) Cross brand with competitive size brick and mortar bookstores. Amazon could easily cross brand, merge or even hostily take over a good competitive bookstore chain to build a physical presence in malls and shopping centers arround the country. There is still a suprising amount of consumers who are not internet buyers. If amazon would cross brand with someone like borderbooks or walden books they could probably access the best of both worlds. (Amazon is still positioned as a bookstore more than anything else)\n\nThere are three ideas you could elaborate on.\nCheck profit margins and typical markup values in each of these businesses to support your case in class and you will have a solid project. . . Good Luck

They actually use many standard technologies that you and I would use (html, javascript, flash) but they also have proprietary languages which they themselves have developed. They often do this to meet special needs from their company such as improved performance, greater security, and better presentation.\n\nNow when I say proprietary I mean usually a language not built from scratch but one that is actually a new hybrid of existing technologies like maybe they mix cold fusion with C++ so that they could create a robust transaction system for adwords or something. \n\nIt costs a bit of money to build these hybrids which is why you only see the real major players being able to do this effectively (in general). To us as consumers see a nice layout and easy experience often times one transaction can include 4 different technologies (one for presentation, one for data capture, one for online processing and one for storage).\n\nBeing that most of these systems are unique, I don't think anyone can fully state all the technologies these companies use. However many of them do use mainstream languages as I mentioned earlier.... html, php, cold fusion, .net languages, flash etc.\n\nHope this helps answer your question.
