...Patumtip W. ID 5210037 SEC 404 Individual Case Analysis: Acer America I. Strategic Profile and Case Analysis Purpose Case Summary The company was established in 1976 and began to expand internationally in the mid-1980s through strategic alliances. They’ve changed organizational concept into “client-server” model where the strategic business units (SBUs) and regional business units (RBUs) were given greater freedom to manage its unit locally. This led the company evolves towards a federation of locally responsive units close to their markets yet linked by the emerging Acer brand. In 1994, a U.S. based sourcing company; Acer America (AAC) foresees the opportunity to create a home PC with multimedia capabilities to sell in the market which they named it “Aspire”. The AAC’s RBU have outsourced other company to design the product since they aren’t specializing in this field and the development of the product has been kept in secret. Until it’s time to present to Taiwan’s SBU, the engineers felt they could be of only limited help at this stage of the development process that it created many challenges in getting the standard components to fit since they didn’t integrate from the beginning. The computer’s part was then break down into sub-assembly systems responsible by different product managers. The problem then arises as when one of the sub-assemblies delayed, the whole process also been delayed or when the final product has problem, the engineers had to decide where the problem...

...ANDROID OPERATION SYSTEM INTRODUCTION Android is a mobile operating system that is currently developed by Google, it is based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android’s user-interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely corresponds to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching to manipulate on-screen objects along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices Google has also developed android for other platforms such Android TV for Television, Android Auto for Cars and Android Wear for wristwatches. Each of these platform have special interface to sooth the platform. Variant of Android are also used on Notebooks, game console, digital camera and other electronics. As smartphones and tablets become more popular, the operating systems for those devices become more important. Android is such an operating system for low powered devices that run on battery and contain hardware like Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, cameras, light and orientation sensors, WiFi and UMTS (3G telephony) connectivity and a touch screen. Like all operating systems, Android enables applications to make use of the hardware features through abstraction and provide a defined environment for applications. Unlike on other mobile operating systems like Apple’s iOS, Palm’s web OS or Symbian, Android applications are written in Java and run in virtual...

...changes made to its products over the course of many years – closed innovation allowing them to fend off all comers while delivering something unique to the market. It started in 2001, when the first iPod music player – Mac compatible only – was released. Sales were slow, through analysis of the sales, market transition and the wants and needs of the consumer Apple determined that through development of Windows-compatible iTunes software they could increase their market share. This product (service) development enabled Apple to establish a presence within the market dominated by Microsoft at the time, while not directly threatening their market share. Apple exclusive formats were offered through iTunes, which was at the front of the commercial market in licensed online music distribution, such as .AAC, Quicktime Movie (.mov) and Apple Lossless (an FLAC clone) enticed users to make the switch from their MP3 players to the iPod. This was followed up by multiple hardware innovations, incremental changes in design and product functionality, from the iPod to the Mini to the Nano, iPod Shuffle and eventually the precursor to the iPhone – the iPod Touch. The combined technological R&D, market analysis and continuous product development were cemented firmly in the Cyclic innovation model (Fig 1.1), showing each area clearly linked and building upon advances in the other; when the market called for a more portable product, the technology...

...Video Compression: An Examination of the Concepts, Standards, Benefits, and Economics ITEC620 April 14, 2008 To accommodate the increased demand for digital video content, compression technology must be used. This paper examines the most commonly used compression formats, the MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video compression formats, their relative benefits and differences, the delivery methods available for digital video content and the economics of video content delivery. Every time a digital video disc is played, a video is watched on YouTube, an NFL clip is viewed on a Sprint-based cellular phone, or a movie is ordered through an on-demand cable television video service, the viewer is watching data that is not in the state it which it originated. Video in an unmodified state is comprised of vast quantities of data (Apostopoulos & Wee, 2000). In order to make effective and efficient usage of video data, some method of reducing the quantity of data is necessary. Apostopoulos and Wee, in their 2000 paper, “Video Compression Standards” explain this succinctly and well, “For example, consider the problem of video transmission within high-definition television (HDTV). A popular HDTV video format is progressively scanned 720x1280 pixels/frame, 60 frames/s video signal, with 24-bits/pixel (8 bits for red, green, and blue), which corresponds to a raw data rate of about 1.3 Gbits/sec. Modern digital communication systems can only...

...Monograph on the Apple Business Model @2003 Introduction. In 1984, Apple and the Macintosh challenged the world with the dramatic portrayal of a revolutionary woman hurling a hammer at an image of the establishment. With the Twentieth Anniversary of that event approaching, now is a good time to take a look back at this revolution and take stock of the new revolution that the Mac OS X operating system offers. Despite Time Magazine's 80 Days That Changed The World, it would appear that Apple doesn't get much credit for the revolution it sparked in personal computing. As the leading innovator in the computer market, and with a balance sheet holding of four billion in cash, neither its stock value nor its market share is very high. Every few months or so, a journalist reports on impending trouble for Apple Computer. Part of the reason for this negative press is that its main competitor has a 95% market share and billions more in cash. By any other standards, Apple would be judged to be an astonishing success, but a bigger question remains: Why is the Apple market share so small when it has a superior product? Blaming Microsoft for the 'ills' of Apple really misses the point. Both companies were formed early in the computer age, both had product, innovation and opportunity at a critical time, but their history is vastly different. Apple's small market share must be the result of its business model. While the business model has failed the aspirations of the Macintosh Revolution...

...As part of my curriculum for the CDIS 530: Alternative and Augmentative Communication course that requires me to observe an individual using an alternative and augmentative mode of communication, I got an opportunity to observe a friend’s mother who has been diagnosed with severe Broca’s aphasia. I chose Mrs. K. for observation, as she is non-verbal and communicates her needs by a variety of methods. The observation took place at Mrs. K’s home, on a couple of occasions- once during a family get-together and the other time in the presence of a Speech Pathologist (private practitioner) who comes every week to provide remediation services to Mrs. K at her home. Mrs. K is a 58 year old housewife, who suffered from a cerebral vascular accident about three years ago. She is from a bilingual family; the languages spoken at home are predominantly Urdu and English. According to Mrs. K’s son, she herself is more proficient in Urdu, although she does understand English. Prior to the occurrence of cerebral vascular accident in May 2008, she was in good health and used to live alone in India, however after the occurrence of the stroke she has had to migrate to USA and has moved in with her son and his wife and their child 1 year of age. Cerebral vascular accident occurred in May 2008, without any overt cause, after the stroke Mrs. K was hospitalized for about a week and then discharged. The cerebral vascular accident and the resulting Boca’s aphasia has severely impacted Mrs. K’s life, as...

...Appendix SONIC MARKETING PLAN AND EXERCISES The Marketing Plan: An Introduction As a marketer, you’ll need a good marketing plan to provide direction and focus for your brand, product, or company. With a detailed plan, any business will be better prepared to launch an innovative new product or increase sales to current customers. Nonprofit organizations also use marketing plans to guide their fund-raising and outreach efforts. Even government agencies put together marketing plans for initiatives such as building public awareness of proper nutrition and stimulating area tourism. The Purpose and Content of a Marketing Plan A marketing plan has a more limited scope than a business plan, which offers a broad overview of the entire organization’s mission, objectives, strategy, and resource allocation. The marketing plan documents how the organization’s strategic objectives will be achieved through specific marketing strategies and tactics, with the customer as the starting point. It is also linked to the plans of other organizational departments. Suppose a marketing plan calls for selling 200,000 units annually. The production department must gear up to make that many units, finance must arrange funding to cover the expenses, human resources must be ready to hire and train staff, and so on. Without the appropriate level of organizational support and resources, no marketing plan can succeed. Although the exact length and layout varies from company to company, a marketing plan usually...

...Android vs iPhone Junyao Zhang April 12, 2010 This is a complete analysis and comparison between Android and iPhone OS. The rest of this report is organized as follows. Section ?? outlines the system architecture, history and detail management configuration. Section ?? discusses the iPhone system. In Section ??, a comparison between these two systems is presented. 1 Android Android, originally meaning “robot”, is a mobile operating system using a modified version of the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google,[?]and lately by the Open Handset Alliance[?]. It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.[8] It empolys the software stack architecture, as shown in Figure 1. • Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. It is implemented by programming language C. • The middleware level includes Runtime and Libraries. The Runtime includes core libraries, providing most of the functionality available in the core libraries of the Java programming language, and Dalvik virtual machine which allows every Android application runs in its own process. The Libraries is used by various components of the Android system, such as Media Libraries, 3D libraries...

With the excessive use of plastics and increasing pressure being placed on capacities available for plastic waste disposal, the need for biodegradable plastics and biodegradation of plastic wastes has assumed increasing importance in the last few years. Awareness of the waste problem and its impact on the environment has awakened new interest in the area of degradable polymers. The interest in environmental issues is growing and there are increasing demands to develop material which do not burden the environment significantly. Biodegradation is necessary for water-soluble or water-immiscible polymers because they eventually enter streams which can neither be recycled nor incinerated. It is important to consider the microbial degradation of natural and synthetic polymers in order to understand what is necessary for biodegradation and the mechanisms involved. This...
