The main reason customers will compare providers is so that they get the best possible deal and is worth every penny they spend so Apple must step up to to consider this and not to be beaten by the competition. Comprehensive and up to date information is really important when speaking about business. Apple must consider keeping their products information up to date because this will be the key to enticing customers in to buying their products. All companies will ensure that all informations give and displayed is comprehensive and is kept up to date for example Next (www.next.com) the reason why I chose next is because simply to other companies Next has a lot of competition meaning the more sales sold means a higher profit which is the key to a successful business. Even the smallest of product information changed should be noted so that the customer can be aware of this because the customer will then make the decision will they buy it or not. Product information should be taken into real consideration because if Next change the price to much especially is they increase it this can put the customer off purchasing the product. Another example that both Apple and Next must take into considerations hen using their online services is the availability of the product because...

Assets, liabilities and ownership equity are listed as of a specific date, such as the end of its financial year. A balance sheet is often described as a snapshot of a company’s financial condition, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time of a business.

...Cold War Summary Notes Topic 1 – The Beginnings of the Cold War 1945-1949 • Background – the ideologies of capitalism and communism and the governments of the USA and USSR. o The USA was a democracy and held free elections whereas the USSR was a Communist state. Elections were uncontested and all candidates were Communist. o In the USA business was privately owned, but in the USSR all business and industry were owned by the state. o In the USA there were great differences between the rich and poor. In the USSR there were tight controls on the amount of money that individuals could own. o Both the USA and USSR believed that other countries should be run in the same way that theirs was. o Many people in each country were strongly against the beliefs of the other. • It is important to realise that the differences in beliefs between the two countries alone did not cause the Cold War. The two countries had even been allies during World War Two. However, the USA had learned from the experience of the Second World War that they should not give in to the demands of dictators. Any action that was perceived as a threat of the spread of Communism would bring a reaction from the USA. The Yalta Conference • This was held in February 1945, before the end of the Second World War, when it was clear that Germany was losing the war in Europe. It was held at Yalta in the Ukraine. • The three main figures at the Conference...

By providing job advertisement on posters, reduces the time companies spend interviewing unsuitable candidates by making sure their precise when explaining the job requirements.
