...product. Apple was focused on being different, rebellious and cutting-edge. Steve Jobs coined the motto, “It’s better to be a pirate than join the navy,” which exemplifies the rebellious and unique nature of Apple’s culture. Innovation and aesthetics were, in Steve Jobs’ eyes, the competitive advantage of Apple. When Apple shifted away from this vision, it took major hits to their profits and lost much of its market share to its competitors. This is because Apple tried to implement the advantage that IBM and other competitors had, which was low-cost mass market appeal products. Apple even started creating desktop peripherals and other products not true to the identity of the brand. This marred the image of Apple and confused its identity; ultimately making Apple lose their competitive advantage. Apple went from a unique, rebellious, and innovative company to just another mass-producing computer company with inferior technology. Once Steve Jobs returned, after all of the chaos, they went back to their roots of being an innovative company focused on creating aesthetic, premium personal technological devices. This revitalized the company and with innovations such as the new Mac OS and iPod, Apple bounced back to the likes that no one has seen before, and has become the most valuable company in the world. 2. Why do you think Apple has been able to maintain its success even after the death of Steve Jobs? (15pt) Apple is a constantly evolving and...

The company was founded in March 1999 by former Oracle executive Marc Benioff, Parker Harris, Dave Moellenhoff, and Frank Dominguez as a company specializing in software as a service (SaaS).

Growth of Cloud Based Services A series of macro-trends is fundamentally changing the way businesses must operate. Globalization is changing the competitive landscape, and mobility is changing the way workers do their jobs. An explosion of consumer-oriented, on-demand services, led by Amazon.com and Apple’s iTunes, has taught people how easy it can be to access and share information or the goods and services they want. These experiences, combined with the escalating competitive climate and challenges of managing an increasingly dispersed workforce as well as rapidly developing secure internet infrastructure are forcing businesses of all sizes to re-think how they acquire and utilize software applications. Unwilling to continue to tolerate the operating inefficiencies and ongoing costs of traditional on-premise software products, a growing number of businesses are now...

...more convenient, for those who have access to said technology. The introduction of the Smartphone is another prime example of technology at what many users consider its best. Some Smartphones function as diminutive computers because they carry out the same tasks as many home computers and laptops. A Smartphone with internet capability gives the owner the power to check email, browse the web, and remain updated with important business news, such as stock values. However, as optimistic as many technology-users sound, the advances have slowly given rise to an era where computers and artificial intelligence dominate the labor force in the world today. Artificial intelligence, as engineers and developers continue to enhance its capabilities, stands a chance of outperforming the human mind. John Markoff’s article in The New York Times, “A Fight to Win the Future: Computers vs. Humans,” offers an interesting account of how machines that are able to think on their own are slowly dispensing with the human workforce. If we as a society continue to grow and depend on the technology around us, jobs in the future for many around the world will not exist. Will technology lead to intelligence augmentation, technology that is proficient and only stimulates our performance in the work force, or will it lead to more artificial intelligence, which might eventually end up dominating and eliminating any chances of human knowledge and skills to expand?

...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...

...PJM505 - Quantitative Methods in PJM Technical write up on Software tools available for project management to help managers to use quantitative analysis Project Management: A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. So a project team often includes people who don’t usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. The development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects. And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets. Microsoft Project has a qualitative risk analysis methodology capability But what about quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis? Quantitative risk analysis gives the project manager the ability to see how a project schedule will be affected if...

...Customer relationship management (CRM) is a widely-implemented strategy for managing a company’s interactions with customers, clients and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes—principally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and technical support.[1] The overall goals are to find, attract, and win new clients, nurture and retain those the company already has, entice former clients back into the fold, and reduce the costs of marketing and client service.[2] Customer relationship management describes a company-wide business strategy including customer-interface departments as well as other departments.[3] Measuring and valuing customer relationships is critical to implementing this strategy.[4] Benefits of CRM A CRM system may be chosen because it is thought to provide the following advantages:[citation needed] Quality and efficiency Decrease in overall costs Decision support Enterprise agility Customer Attention [edit] Challenges Successful development, implementation, use and support of customer relationship management systems can provide a significant advantage to the user, but often, there are obstacles that obstruct the user from using the system to its full potential.
