Amazon.com Inc. has invited execs from General Mills and Mondelez to its headquarters with the aim of convincing them to start shipping products directly to online shoppers and bypass chains like Wal-Mart, Target and Costco. Executives will attend the three-day gathering in May, according to Bloomberg. Attendees will tour an Amazon fulfillment center and hear a presentation from Jeff Wilke, worldwide consumer chief.
