Netflix was an early culprit, and Disney Plus followed, while others have been less gene

Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers. Customer Obsession is great, but I often see Amazonians taking this too simplistically: "Start with the customer" doesn't have to mean "ask customers what they want and then give them faster horses".

In 2005, only 41% of Ghana’s population had access to electricity. Much of that electricity was generated by the Akosombo and Kpong dams on the Volta River, but relying on hydroelectric power made Ghana susceptible to climate fluctuations that affect water levels. Recalling how much his MIT thermodynamics class (then called Heat and Mass Transfer) with Ernest Cravalho had stayed with him, Asiamah-Adjei realized that perhaps delving into energy was not such a wild idea. “The seed had been sown,”

In Brief When Amazon hired the founders of AI startup Adept last year, it was one of the first examples of what became known as a reverse acqui-hire — a deal where a large company hires key startup team members and licenses its technology, rather than acquiring the startup outright.
