Point, Click, Make & Sell to the world

Amazon might turn out to be the real OpenBusiness provider. That’s at least how their new business strategy sounds like: from user generated content, to user generated jeans, cars and what have you. Though I would think ebay, google and some others will be compete as well.
USA Today has an article desrcribing the strategy:

This is because setting up a company that designs, makes and globally sells physical products could become almost as easy as starting a blog — and the repercussions would be earthshaking.

That’s the future Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos hopes to set in motion with the company’s new direction. If you tease out Bezos’ plan, you get to a point where a high school cheerleader sitting at home with a laptop could theoretically harness computing power, design capabilities, manufacturing and distribution from around the world, and make and market a cute little pink hot rod that would compete against General Motors.

Just what GM’s board wants to hear about now, huh?

“You’re going to be able to have virtual start-ups, virtual entrepreneurship,” says Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, which is betting on a vision similar to Amazon’s. “It will be the next wave.”
