Page 1 Case Study on Apple’s Business Strategies From http://www.mbaknol.com/management-case-studies/case-study-on-apples-business-strategies/ Product Differentiation Apple prides itself on its innovation. When reviewing the history of Apple, it is evident that this attitude permeated the company during its peaks of success. For instance, Apple pioneered the PDA market by introducing the Newton in 1993. Later, Apple introduced the easy-to-use iMac in 1998, and updates following 1998. It released a highly stable operating system in 1999, and updates following 1999. Apple had one of its critical points in history in 1999 when it introduced the iBook. This completed their “product matrix”, a simplified product mix strategy formulated by Jobs. This move allowed Apple to have a desktop and a portable computer in both the professional and the consumer segments. The matrix is as follows: In 2001, Apple hit another important historical point by launching iTunes. This marked the beginning of Apple’s new strategy of making the Mac the hub for the “digital lifestyle”. Apple then opened its own stores, in spite of protests by independent Apple retailers voicing cannibalization concerns. Then Apple introduced the iPod, central to the “digital lifestyle” strategy. Philip W. Schiller, VP of Worldwide Product Marketing for Apple, stated, “iPod is going to change the way people listen to music.” He was right. Apple continued their innovative streak with advancements in flat-panel LCDs for desktops in 2002 and improved notebooks in 2003. In 2003, Apple released the iLife package, containing improved versions of iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, and iTunes. In reference to Apple’s recent advancements, Jobs said, “We are going to do for digital creation what Microsoft did for the office suite productivity.” That is indeed a bold statement. Time will tell whether that happens. http://www.mbaknol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/apple-inc_mbaknol.jpg http://www.mbaknol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/apple-inc_mbaknol.jpg� Page 2 Apple continued its digital lifestyle strategy by launching iTunes Music Store online in 2003, obtaining cooperation from “The Big 5” Music companies—BMG, EMI, Sony Entertainment, Universal, Warner. This allowed iTunes Music Store online to offer over 200,000 songs at introduction. In 2003, Apple released the world’s fastest PC (Mac G5), which had dual 2.0GHz PowerPC G5 processors. Product differentiation is a viable strategy, especially if the company exploits the conceptual distinctions for product differentiation. Those that are relevant to Apple are product features, product mix, links with other firms, and reputation. Apple established a reputation as an innovator by offering an array of easy-to-use products that cover a broad range of segments. However, its links with other firms have been limited, as we will discuss in the next section on strategic alliances. There is economic value in product d.

8B16M040 Teaching Note APPLE AND ITS SUPPLIERS: CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Sun Hye Lee, Michael J. Mol, and Kamel Mellahi wrote this teaching note as an aid to instructors in the classroom use of the case Apple and Its Suppliers: Corporate Social Responsibility, No. 9B16M040. This teaching note should not be used in any way that would prejudice the future use of the case. Copyright © 2016, Richard Ivey School of Business Foundation Version: 2016-03-22 SYNOPSIS In a 2014 documentary, Apple Inc. (Apple), the California-based multinational technology company known for its innovative hardware, software, and online services, was implicated in alleged human rights violations at Pegatron, a large Apple supplier that specialized in the assembly of iPhones. These allegations followed similar well-publicized violations in 2009, at Foxconn, another major Apple supplier. Although Apple had promised to overcome these issues, the situation had clearly proven to be difficult to overturn. The case explores Apple’s options in response to these new violations. Should it have neglected the accusations and pointed to its existing efforts? Could it have done more? Should it perhaps have revised its offshoring and outsourcing strategy? Was the blame attributed to Apple fair? The case offers insights into the complexity of corporate social responsibility issues in cross-border, inter-organizational settings. TEACHING OBJECTIVES The case offers students the opportunity to examine in depth the challenges Apple faces in managing offshore and outsourced operations, especially in terms of how these challenges affect corporate social responsibility (CSR) outcomes. Set against the backdrop of two major CSR failures, Apple is possibly the world’s best example for this purpose because of both the high expectations it faces and the plentiful financial and other resources it has available to tackle this problem. The lessons from this case study apply to a wide range of firms engaged in offshoring and outsourcing and to the management of CSR across institutional and organizational boundaries. POSITION IN COURSE This case can be used in courses at undergraduate, graduate, and executive levels. The case is most suitable in ethics and CSR courses but is also suitable in courses on strategic management, international business, and operations management. It can also be used in general courses and in more specialized courses, for This publication may not be transmitted, photocopied, digitized, or otherwise reproduced in any form or by any means without the permission of the copyright holder. Reproduction of this material is not covered under authorization by any reproduction rights organization.

It is especially useful for highlighting the complexities of managing in a global context and acro.

Employment-At-Will Doctrine Imagine you are a recently-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a midsize company preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). You quickly discover multiple personnel problems that require your immediate attention. 1. John posted a rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer. 2. Ellen started a blog to protest the CEO’s bonus, noting that no one below director has gotten a raise in two (2) years and portraying her bosses as “know-nothings” and “out-of-touch” 3. Bill has been using his company-issued BlackBerry to run his own business on the side. 4. After being disciplined for criticizing a customer in an email (sent from his personal email account on a company computer), Joe threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy. 5. One of the department supervisors requests your approval to fire his secretary for insubordination. Since the secretary has always received glowing reviews, you call her into your office and determine that she has refused to prepare false expense reports for her boss. 6. Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission. As an astute manager, you will need to analyze the employment-at-will doctrine and determine what, if any, exceptions and liabilities exist before taking any action. As you proceed with your investigation, you discover the company has no whistleblower policy. .

EN102 Sum15 Paper Two: Images/Pictures of Significance and What We Think of Them Overview: You have two choices for this paper. In other words, choose one (1) option from the two (2) options below (#1 or #2). You are required to use at least two (2) sources from among Sontag, Mitchell, Clarke, and Berger of which one (1) must be either Clarke or Mitchell. In addition, you may use any of the other text(s) including videos and images we have used in class as well as any new material you have found to support your claims or line of thinking. Make sure to list the image(s) or pictures you choose for the paper and any research you locate in relation to this in your Works Cited page. The final paper should be five pages long not including your Works Cited page and should include a minimum of three (3) to four (4) sources of which one must be from Clarke or Mitchell with a total of at least two from among Sontag, Clarke, Mitchell, and Berger. Introduction: We began the course discussing what John Berger calls “ways of seeing.” Sontag, Mitchell, and Clarke all appear to pick up from where Berger ends his essay and look at what Berger calls “the new language of images” (116). Berger’s prediction or assessment that there is this new “language of images” seems to have come true according to Sontag, Clarke, and Mitchell as they examine what it is, how it operates, and what problems and challenges this new language presents. Berger expresses interest in this new language of images as he says, “Within it we could begin to define our experiences more precisely in areas where words are inadequate. (Seeing comes before words.)” (116). He is concerned, however, with who will control this new language or these images identifying this with power saying, ”If the new language of images were used differently, it would through its use, confer a new kind of power” (116). Sontag, Mitchell, and Clarke also see the creation and use of images as a form of power and ask questions about what form this power takes, who or what has or exercises this power, and over what or whom is this power practiced. Sontag goes so far as to suggest that photography, the principle medium through which most of us experience images, has taught us a new way of being in the world as it “changes the terms of confinement in the cave, our world” (3). She also argues “In teaching us a new visual code, photographs alter and enlarge our notions of what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe” (3). Mitchell refers to images’ “potency” and describes “the ancient superstitions about images” which claims “they make people do irrational things, that they are potentially destructive forces that seduce and lead us astray” and says we still believe these things despite claiming that we don’t (19). Like Sontag, he is concerned with what she describes as “what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe” and he argues “we still have to ask what it is about images that gives them su.

ELL Placement Assessments Interview the ELL instructor that you observed teach, ELL coordinator, or district representative about how placement tests are used for ELLs. Your questions should include, but not be limited to, the following: What placement tests are used? Who conducts the tests? What method is used for ongoing classroom assessment? How is progress measured in the classroom setting? How is oral language assessed? How is standardized testing handled? How is exit testing completed in school/district.? Write a 750-1,000-word essay based on the interview answers. In addition, include a section discussing whether you believe that the exiting process and monitoring is sufficient. Cite at least three sources that support your findings. HERE ARE THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION FROM ELL COORDINATOR DEBORAH SIDES WPAT Placement Test 2. The ELL Teacher conducts the WPAT Placement test for placement of students in the program. 3. A variety of Daily assessments are used, such as writing samples, journaling, speaking, reading, as well as a constant check on academic grades. An end of the year test is given: ACCESS Test 4. In the ELL classroom, I use a variety of assessment tools to monitor my students progress. The teachers access their academic subjects using modified versions of reg assessment tools. 5. Oral language is assessed through the trained ear of the ELL teacher. We check for sent structure, pronunciation, fluency of oral speech, tone, and volume. We use passages, books, photos, and a number of tools to hear our students read. Social conversation is assessed as well. 6. All ELL students must participate in standardized testing. Modifications and accommodations may be provided depending on the ELL’s proficiency level and special needs. 7. Exist testing is called “reclassification” of students in DCS. ASSESS scores and MCT2 scores are used to determine eligibility. Opinion: Exiting processes should include the ability to keep a student in the program if the student is struggling or isn’t acclimating to his/her surroundings. There needs to be a “human component” to the process. We do a good job with that in DCS. At any time, a parent can ask for a student to be reclassified back into the program. .

On arrival, you learn that the suspect was seen by law enforcement officers acting suspicious in the parking lot earlier in the day, and when he spotted officers, he quickly drove away from the motel parking lot. After a short chase, officers took the subject, Jose Torres, H/M 35 years of age, into custody. After taking the suspect into custody, he was asked by officers why he ran, and he opened up to officers and told them that he had been having sex with an underage 14-year-old girl, his girlfriend, in the motel room and had gotten scared when he saw the police. You also learn that officers did not read him his rights before asking him questions regarding the scene and recognize this might be a problem in the case. The crime scene had been entered already by several police officers who stopped by to visit the crime scene, and office management had also stopped by. The 14-year-old female was also at the crime scene, and your partner is interviewing her on the scene to find out what happened. Based on the above crime scene and information, answer the questions listed below regarding the scene. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 1,000–1,250 words: Evidence and Scene Processing Considering the evidence at the crime scene, make a list of this evidence, and also advise what equipment you will utilize to recover the evidence. Describe the process of protecting the crime scene and recovering the evidence, labeling it, transporting it, and exactly what type of analysis you would request to have performed with the evidence by the lab. After reading the scenario, is there a problem with scene contamination? What role will this evidence likely play in your case? Would a warrant be needed at the crime scene? Why or why not? Victim and Witness Statements, Suspect Interrogation What is the proper process for obtaining a statement from both the suspect and the victim in this incident? Will you be able to use the information provided to patrol officers by the suspect immediately after his arrest? If your partner interviewed the suspect at the scene and threatened him, would this be lawful? Why or why not? If your partner lied to the suspect to gain information from him, would this information be usable? What i.

Employee satisfaction is the product of many factors, some directly related to the work situation and some related to the individual’s personal qualities or characteristics. This week, you examine social cognitive theory and social identity theory as applied to the work environment and employee satisfaction. For this Discussion, review the media titled Week 12: The Virtual Office ,and evaluate the job satisfaction rates of the people in the media. Then consider the social cognitive factors that might affect their job satisfaction. Post by Day 4 a brief description of the employees with high job satisfaction and employees with low job satisfaction. Explain the reasons for their satisfaction beyond the score. Then explain how non–work-related social cognitive factors might have influenced employee satisfaction for two of the employees. Finally, explain two areas in which a consultant might use social psychology to maintain or improve work satisfaction. Be specific and support your responses with the Learning Resources and the current literature. Media Animation: Laureate Education, Inc. (Executive Producer). (2011). Week 12: The virtual office .

Emily is an 18-month-old toddler developing typically. She attends a for-profit childcare center full-time. Emily’s parents are divorced and she lives half-time with each parent. She has two older brothers, ages 6 and 10. Emily’s father is a plumber and her mother is a cashier at a local grocery store. Emily has begun biting other children at the childcare center. You have just been assigned to act as the lead educator in her classroom. The assistant is concerned about Emily’s biting and so are some of the parents of the other children, as she has left bite marks on two children, though the skin was not broken. During your first day in the classroom, you observe the following: Emily is playing alone with a doll. Janesta, who is 23 months old, walks over to Emily and takes the doll Emily was playing with. Emily then bites Janesta on the arm. You swiftly pick Emily up and tell her, “We don’t bite,” and hold her in your lap for a few minutes. Then she runs to play with blocks. Later in the day, you witness Emily walk up to a boy in the class and bite him on the shoulder, without any apparent provocation. The assistant quickly picks Emily up and moves her to the reading area and reads her a book. Emily stays there for 10 minutes, quietly turning pages. Part 1: ABC Analysis Chart You will use the case scenario above to develop a hypothesis as to what is the likely function of the behavior. Be sure to use your Unit 6 readings on Functional Behavior Assessment to assist you in filling out the ABC chart template in DocSharing. A=Antecedent. What happened immediately before the behavior? Was there any event or activity that preceded the behavior? B=Behavior. The behavior should be defined in observable, objective terms. C=Consequence. What happened immediately following the behavior? Function of behavior = this is your hypothesis. Using what you have learned about behavior, what is the most likely function? Is the child trying to get something, and if so, what? This could be tangibles such as access to a toy, a preferred activity or even attention. Is the child trying to escape from something, and if so, what? This could be escape from an unwanted task such as cleaning up toys. Part 2: Behavior Change Chart For Part 2, using your hypothesis and the information from your ABC chart, fill out the template in DocSharing and manipulate variables to determine if your hypothesis is correct in order to pick the best course of action to take with Emily. You can only manipulate one variable at a time in order to determine what would be most effective in modifying Emily's behavior. First you will manipulate the antecedent. When you changed the antecedent (A), what do you predict will happen and why? If you do not get the desired behavior change (B), then you need to try manipulating another variable. In this case, you will then manipulate the consequence (C). What do you predict will happen with the behavior (B) and why? .
