Question

How did Amazon manage to survive the internet bubble burst when many other companies folded?

Amazon managed to survive the internet bubble burst due to its financial stability. Unlike other companies, Amazon had already generated the income it needed to continue operations, so additional funding wasn't required. Despite the company's stock falling significantly, from $113 to $6, Amazon's financial health allowed it to weather the storm and continue its business.
