Amazon’s behaviour during corona pandemic: the case study of office and stationery category in Germany

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study presented in the paper concentrates on the behaviour of the world’s largest online retailer Amazon in Germany in the office and stationery category for the period from January 2020 to December 2021. We revealed that the company mainly concentrated on maintaining the share of products that are sold on its website by itself and not by other sellers. It, therefore, had to decrease its sales price from March to November 2020. The sales prices then followed the development of the purchase prices till May 2021 and exceeded them for the rest of the investigated period; however the average growth of sales prices that was not caused by the growth of purchased prices and the VAT effect achieved only 2.83%. Amazon seems to have not abused its dominant position when it tried to keep its customers and not to give them a reason for switching to its competitors.
