Creative practices

Amazon is struggling to succeed in Europe and other locations.

Why? Amazon is not able to cut prices in other locations by as much as it does in the USA.

Why? Amazon's business model involves saving as much money as possible with "creative" labour practices that you just can't do in other first world countries.

Why? Because other developed countries actually respect labour rights and don't tolerate this abuse.

Amazon is going to have to make do with seeing if it has got deep enough pockets to run leaner margins for longer than the local competition. Once the local competition is put out of business, they might be able to succeed outside the USA.
