E-tailing Update: Amazon's Grocery Gambit

Amazon is doubling down on grocery with a bold same-day delivery push.

This is the author's 10th Insights column about the evolution of consumer-based e-commerce, termed e-tailing, focusing on the battle between Walmart and Amazon.

The column chronicles the evolution of e-tailing from a supply chain analyst's perspective, covering topics such as planning changes for uncertainties and supply shortages, including those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently, the focus has shifted to post-COVID developments, where Amazon and Walmart have gained substantially over their retailing competitors.

They are primarily focused on the battle between the heavyweights—brick-and-mortar Walmart versus e-tailer Amazon—as a reflection of what has been happening in the retail industry.

The author's work explores the ongoing changes in the retail industry, particularly in the context of e-tailing.

Author's summary: Amazon's grocery delivery push is a significant e-tailing development.
