Amazon and Walmart tried to beat each other in retail sector jagran special

[ad_1] Publish Date:Sat, 05 May 2018 11:35 AM (IST) नई दिल्ली ।   अमेजॉन और वॉलमार्ट की प्रतिद्वंद्विता काफी पुरानी है। दोनों ही कंपनियां घरेलू बाजार अमेरिका में पिछले दो दशकों से एक-दूसरे का मुकाबला कर रही हैं। हालांकि वॉलमार्ट दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी रिटेलर कंपनी बनी हुई है, लेकिन वह ऑनलाइन रिटेल बाजार में इस सफलता को दोहराने की कोशिश में लगी हुई है जहां पिछले कुछ वर्षो से अमेजॉन एकछत्र राज कर रही है। पिछले वित्त वर्ष वॉलमार्ट का कुल राजस्व 500 अरब डॉलर था, जबकि अमेजॉन की कुल बिक्री 177.9 अरब डॉलर रही। वॉलमार्ट की शुद्ध आय 20 अरब डॉलर से अधिक रही, जबकि अमेजॉन की शुद्ध आय तीन अरब डॉलर के स्तर पर थी। फिर भी 680 अरब डॉलर से अधिक बाजार पूंजीकरण के साथ अमेजॉन आज बाजार पूंजीकरण के मामले में दुनिया की शीर्ष पांच कंपनियों में अपनी जगह बना चुकी है। एप्पल के बाद दूसरी सबसे मूल्यवान कंपनी  दरअसल इसी वर्ष यह अमेरिकी ई-कॉमर्स दिग्गज कुछ दिनों के लिए टेक्नोलॉजी कंपनी एप्पल के बाद दूसरी सबसे मूल्यवान कंपनी बन गई थी। विश्लेषकों का कहना है कि अमेजॉन जल्द ही एक लाख करोड़ डॉलर बाजार पूंजीकरण के साथ एप्प...

Anti-LGBTQ group claims Amazon is marginalizing Christians – ThinkProgress

[ad_1] One of the nation’s largest anti-LGBTQ organizations claims that it’s been treated unfairly because of its homophobic, transphobic, and other derogatory positions. This week, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) became upset after learning that Amazon would not allow customers to make donations to the group through the AmazonSmile program, which gives a small percentage from the  purchase price of eligible products to a customer’s chosen charity. ADF is using that complaint to fuel its ongoing conservative campaign to deligitimize the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which — among other things — tracks various hate groups. ADF is one of many organizations the SPLC has designated as an anti-LGBTQ hate group for its long record of demonizing queer people and advocating for discrimination against them. Amazon has traditionally relied on SPLC’s designations to disqualify these hate groups from the AmazonSmile program. This isn’t new. The Family Research Council, another SPL...

Amazon puts 7,000 jobs on hold because of a tax that would help Seattle’s homeless population – ThinkProgress

[ad_1] Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has more money than he knows what do deal with. While visiting Germany in late April to pick up the Axel Springer Award for innovation, Bezos gave an exclusive interview to Business Insider  about how it feels to be the richest man in the world.

That is basically it,” Bezos said. What Bezos does not want to spend money on at all is helping the homeless population in the city where his company is located. On Wednesday, Amazon announced the company would halt the construction of a new building in downtown Seattle it was planning to build, jeopardizing some 7,000 jobs. Why? Because the company opposes a tax being considered by the City Council. The tax targ...
