In fact, Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos has famously and repeatedly noted this need for patience throughout the company’s history.
The launch of Amazon Web Services in 2006 highlights Amazon’s approach to new business experimentation. AWS began as a diffuse cluster of services that Amazon found useful in building its core businesses of online retail.

What will this agglomeration of grocery assets be called? Amazon, Amazon Go, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods, something else? Perhaps even Amazon does not know the answer to that just yet. What is does know is that it has assets — locations, technology, and, yes, even people — that it can bring together in novel ways to serve varied customer needs.
