Episode description
Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research
Interview starts at 9:06 and ends at 43:24
“I think Amazon feels pretty confident that they could attack any business they want, and the incumbents will spend four or five years resisting before they realize that they have no choice. Whereas a little proactive customer obsession on the part of any of those companies could probably make it so that Amazon decides to go elsewhere.”
