Q Question: As discussed in lecture one (slides and video), Amazon may be building an extensive freight delivery network in the future. You may have already noticed that Amazon-branded delivery vehicles are becoming more common. Do you think this represents a potential threat for firms such as Fedex and UPS? What recommendations would you give UPS and Fedex to remain competitive during the next 20 years?
