Here’s Why Amazon Could See Market Share Growth In The International Markets

Amazon?s stock has run up by over 40% over the past six months, on positives factors such as improvement in profitability and high growth in the cloud services business. In addition, the company?s sales growth in the international region also saw significant acceleration during the most recent quarterly results. We think the company will continue to outperform the global e-commerce market in the coming years, owing to its various competitive advantages. These include the Prime program, along with access to a huge network of fulfillment and delivery centers. As a result, Amazon will continue to offer more innovative and faster delivery methods to its customers over our review period, in our view. However, investors must watch out for increased competition from Alibaba, eBay, traditional retailers (such as Walmart and Target), and new entrants such as Jet.com, as these could potentially limit market share gains for Amazon over the next five to ten years.

Or what if the good news is that you’re about to secure a new round of funding, but the bad news is you can’t travel to meetings to sew it up because an ailing parent needs your help at home? Or, heaven forbid, you suffer a health setback of your own that threatens to take you out of commission for a long period of time?

‘Witcher 3’ Developer’s Next Game Is Going To Be ‘Far, Far Bigger’

Anyone who thought that The Witcher 3 was a massive game, apparently, hasn’t seen anything yet. Polish game developer announced their next game, Cyberpunk 2077, a while ago, but they’re finally starting to talk about it a little bit more now that The Witcher 3 is moving close to completion (still got a couple expansions, of course). Unlike the Witcher, it’s a sci-fi RPG, leaving a whole lot of room for a different sort of world-building than what the team did with the medieval world of Temeria. and apparently it’s going to be huge.
