Scaling Up: Lessons from Amazon’s Growth
The retailer recently announced it is hiring 250,000 full- and part-time workers for the holiday season. That’s 100,000 more workers than the company recruited last year and reflects a robust U.S. economy heading into the holidays, said Gad Allon, a Wharton professor of operations, information and decisions.
“What’s the main idea here? Amazon knows this is really the time,” he said during an interview with Wharton Business Daily on SiriusXM. “If the economy is great and humming with low unemployment, and if you don’t have enough people, you might lose the opportunity.”
