Have your sinful fingers brought you trouble again? Mario: Now, now, Gloria Don't try to accuse me as they did. An apple! Yes, and they kicked me out for it for taking one single apple Gloria: So that's what you get. . . Mario: Could I guessed they would do that for one apple? When there were millions of them? We were hauling them to the warehouse. I saw one roll out of a broken crate. It was that big. Suddenly, I found myself putting it in my lunch bag. Do you remember that day I took our little girl out for a walk? On our way home we passed a grocery store that sold "delicious" apples at seventy centavos each. She wanted me to buy one for her but I did not have seventy centavos. She cried. So, when I saw this apple roll out of crate, I thought that Tita would love to have it. Gloria: We're not rich. We can live without apples. Mario: Why? Did God create apple trees to bear fruit for the rich alone? Didn't He create the whole world for everyone? Gloria: So, for a measly apple, you lose a job! Filching an apple that's too small a reason to kick a poor man out a work. You should ask them to give you a second chance, Mario. Mario: They won't do that.

...Reporting on: APPLE, Inc. Fiscal Year 2011 Presented by: Bo Weichel Professor: Ekaterina Kouprianova Course: ACC 206 Accounting II Date: 11/20/11 Page | 1 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Apple, Inc. is a highly successful global company offering leading technology in personal computers, phones, music players, and tablet computers. Its success doesn’t come entirely from producing consistently innovative and quality products. It reaches down into the depths of the company itself, its organizational governa nce and control. This foundation is what keeps Apple on the leading edge of the market. Apple has a Board of Directors which contains seven members, including CEO Tim Cook. The role of the Board is to “oversee the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management in the competent and ethical operation of the Corporation on a day-to-day basis and assures that the long term interests of the shareholders are being served ” (Apple 2010, p.1). Serving on the Board set s limitations on its directors; they are advised not to serve on more than four boards of other companies (Apple 2010, p.1). Directors serve for a one year term, without limitations on the number of terms served ; however they may not continue re-election after age 75. Again highlighting the Corporations excellent internal governance, it states “The Board believes the Corporation benefits from the contributions of directors who have developed, over time, increasing insight into the Corporation” (Apple 2010, p.2). This shows...

...The CEO of Apple Computer is a master of hype, hyperbole and the catchy phrase. Even when he's trying to talk normally, brilliant verbiage comes tumbling out. Here's a selection of some of the most insanely great things the man has said, organized by topic: innovation and design, fixing Apple, his greatest sales pitches, life's lessons, taking the fight to the enemy and Pixar. On Innovation and Design: "It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing." -- At age 29, in Playboy, February 1985 "I've always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do." -- BusinessWeek Online, Oct. 12, 2004 "Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it." -- Fortune, Nov. 9, 1998 "It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them." -- BusinessWeek, May 25 1998 "It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much." -- BusinessWeek Online, Oct. 12, 2004 "(Miele) really thought the process through. They did such a great job designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I have out of any piece of high tech in years." -- Wired magazine, February 1996 Apple at 30 Coverage ...

...No Me-Too Products? Why Not Me-Too Products! Prepared for Peter Chou CEO HTC Corporation Prepared by HKU-FUDAN IMBA No.670,Guoshun Lu October 8, 2012 No Me-Too Products? Why Not Me-Too Products! Executive Summary To stay competitive in an ever-evolving landscape and in response to the emerging trend of mobile computing a decade later, HTC should introduce “me-too products” and join the tablet PC bandwagon. My research shows that HTC is likely to remain the major player in smartphone and tablet PC manufacturing if it follow suit. First, tablet PC category is fairly new, HTC does not necessarily need to sustain this “no-me-too” rule as long as its product concepts are no less innovative than the current offerings by competitors. Second, the 3G smartphone market is far from saturated. With HTC’s brand and R&D ability, HTC can vastly improve its market share. Third, Good artists borrow great artists steal--Pablo Picasso To implement and maximize the Me-Too Products strategy, my recommendations are as following: 1. Ensure the originality and creativity of “Me-to Products” • “Learn” from Samsung and “Steal” from Apple • Not necessarily price war involved, stay cool and stay stylish • Disruptive innovation—develop “Textbook” for students and “Solus” for the senior citizens. • Stick to Google Android system 2. Remain the pioneer of mobile computing a decade later • Keep the R&D...

...for a single share of Apple Corporation stock hit an all time high of $705.07. While no one could know with any certainty at the time, between September 21, 2012 and today, January 16, 2013, the price per share would drop approximately $200 per share. Given the fact that Apple is the biggest publicly traded company in the world based on “market capitalization,” a term for the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the price per share, its stock price has been heavily covered by the news media. There are examples of state owned companies that are bigger. Saudi Arabia’s state oil company is significantly larger, for example. But the magnitude of the Apple, combined with the volatility of its stock price, has interested me enough to attempt to understand it, along with some concepts about stock market as a whole. The price of a share of a publicly traded company is determined just like any other product or service in a market place. If the demand for shares of a company is greater than the supply of shares for sale, the price goes up. If the supply exceeds demand, the price goes down. One of the reasons that the price of individual stocks, also commonly referred to as “equities”, can be so difficult to predict is that a stock’s price is determined by human behavior, which is often unpredictable and irrational. I think the $200 drop in the price per share of Apple illustrates this concept. In terms of the company’s market capitalization, Apple has dropped somewhere...

...Kevin Joyce Brian Lopez Apple Corporation Marketing Strategy Apple is a leading innovator in numerous technological markets, which includes the computer market, tablet market, smartphone market and the MP3 market. Being a leader in these industries comes with many challenges due to the number of competitors in each of the markets. Their main competitors are HP and Dell when it comes to the computer industry. Samsung, Google, HP and Dell are also primary competition in the tablet market. Apple was far and away the leader in the smartphone industry, however Google’s Android and Samsung’s Galaxy are becoming increasingly popular and they have become Apples principal competition. Apple brought MP3 players to a whole new spectrum when the iPod was introduced; however the iPod’s main competition is Apples very own iPhone because of the iPhones music playing capabilities. In order for Apple to stay the alpha leader in all these industries they must constantly be innovating and differentiating their products from their competitors. One of the greatest strengths of Apple is the way that each of their products can seamlessly interact with other Apple products. This is a key element that Apple has a keen edge in over their competition. For example, ITunes was a pioneer for the music storage devices that could be saved on your computer and can now be used to transfer music from your computer/tablet to your iPod/IPhone. Now, Apple has made it even easier to sync not just music...

...Business calculus lecture, which was a complete strain on the neural pathways. I left tired and a little confused but with intent – I was going to find my fruit specimen and I got a little excited. I jumped into my truck and after picking up a burrito for dinner, I headed straight for home. Auto-pilot had kicked in, with tiredness and food on the mind there was only one destination, luckily a sign from the heavens appeared. A giant, glowing, red Vons supermarket sign, that awoke me from my transient state. A total blessing, as I would have been completely fruitless otherwise. Entering the store, I thought about the type of fruit I wanted to peruse for this essay. I was thinking something tropical, exotic, different and exciting. I was feeling intense inspiration from the fruit I was inventing, when I happened to pass an apple stand. Completely different from the extravagance held in my mind’s eye and you might be thinking “how obvious and boring”. However, one apple stood out. Its color patterns intrigued me, almost hypnotizing in its appearance and I knew instantly it was the one. Arriving home, I dropped my bags by my bed and ran through a quick mental list of the best places to do this intense study of the object and I. The ideal spot needed to be quiet and free from distractions. My bedroom was just too comfortable. The Library seemed too pretentious. I had an epiphany, the bathroom floor, it was perfect! Happy with that decision, I went to bed in order to get a fresh start...

...Public Traded Company Apple INC. In the beginning there was Jobs, Steve Jobs, he is the reason there is an Apple iPod, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. Apple is an amazing company with amazing products. However, I think Apple has just about had its run. But, I'm only giving you my little opinion. Apple products have a lack of freedom; there is certain things I want to do with my iPhone that Apple won't allow to do. In fact, if I jail break or unlock mines I can perform these tasks. This tells me that Apple wants to control how I use my phone. The question is why? I only want to lock an APP if I let someone use my phone, but Apple won't allow it. In fact, the option to tether from your iPhone always has been an operation of the phone. But Apple didn't want you to do this. Again if I unlock or jail break the phone skies the limit. This bring me to my point, whats next for Apple and its products? Could it be that the reason Apple only allows certain technology's to be access, is to sale them later? Could it be that Apple wants to spoon feed the public to keep the iPhone lovers interested? Without the proper research, I can't give a thought to the management style of Apple. But, If this is the case and Apple is spoon feeding the public to keep them around, is that a part of the management? After I fully research the company and it management style hopefully I will have a clear answer to the question. With no Jobs in place, it seems like Apple is on its last leg. I believe...
