| English for Writing Research Papers | |
| Useful Phrases | |

| topic in English, and noting down useful generic phrases that they can then ‘paste’ into | |
| their own work. You can use such phrases as a template / structure for your paper into | |
| which you insert your own data. You at least know that these ready-made phrases are in | |
| correct English. You do not risk being accused of plagiarism because of the very generic | |
| nature of the phrases. | |

| Leadership Principles | |
| Our Leadership Principles aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. These Principles work hard, just like we do. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates. It’s just one of the things that makes Amazon peculiar. | |
| Customer Obsession | |
| Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers. | |
| Ownership | |
| Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say “that’s not my job." | |
| Invent and Simplify | |
| Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented here". Because we |

| We launched Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006 with a press release and a simple blog post. We knew that the developer community was interested in and hungry for powerful, scalable, and useful web services and we were eager to see how they would respond. | |
| S3 and the Amazon Values | |
| Almost every company has a mission statement of some kind. At Amazon.com, we are guided by our Leadership Principles. We use these principles as part of the interviewing process, and revisit them during our annual reviews. I thought back to the launch of S3 and the long string of additional features that we have added to it since then, and tried to match them up to some of the leadership principles. | |

| In my tenure as a solution architect in financial services working for a global consulting firm, I’ve often been caught in a dilemma. This dilemma is whether to apply recognized industry standards to developing solution architecture or to leverage clients’ solution architecture operational model and content. On the one hand, the value proposition of an architecture consultant is not just getting a job done, but also to help improve clients’ architecture maturity. On the other hand, firms’ architecture review boards are set in their ways of using their own architecture content, such as solution architecture templates and models. To my surprise, I have observed a common phenomenon in many financial firms large and small with various degr |
