This Week in Business History- Episode 31

“According to the beforementioned Brad Stone, who wrote the book “The Everything Store”, in 1997 Jeff Bezos was asked to speak to a Harvard graduate school business class about his early stage online store Amazon. It’s been said that the Harvard students weren’t paying a lot of attention to Bezos as he was sharing his story & point of view. And at one particularly entertaining moments: one of the high-falootin’ Harvard students told Jeff Bezos quote “You seem like a really nice guy, so don’t take this the wrong way. But you need to sell to Barnes & Noble and get out now.”
