It identifies all the key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that affect the company the most.
Alphabet’s Google is one of the most successful global companies for a reason. Its success lies in the company’s innovative culture, acquisition capabilities and product ecosystem. The company should further strengthen its product ecosystem either by developing it inside or by acquiring new businesses. Google has one of the widest software ecosystems in the world and should focus on expanding it. The company has no reason to make significant investments into hardware product ecosystem as its already dominated by other technology companies, like Apple, Samsung and Amazon.
As for the weaknesses, Google should diversify its revenue stream and aim to earn more from software subscriptions, especially YouTube. Alphabet should also diversify from Google, which brings in over 99% of Alphabet’s revenue, by venturing into different industries such as healthcare.
There are many opportunities both Alphabet and Google could venture in. Alphabet should focus on healthcare device market, while Google should pursue the most lucrative software, edge computing, and machine learning market opportunities.
The threats are all well known for Google and the company is prepared to mitigate them or even eliminate them if they’ll threaten the business more seriously.

Many businesses in the world today have the aim of acquiring profits, gaining returns for shareholders and remaining relevant in the market. Apple Inc. is not an exemption in the quest to be a leader in the business niche where it exists. The company is facing large competition from some established corporations like Samsung and others which are growing at a very faster rate. Failing to have good strategies will make the company obsolete and will be overtaken in the industry. Fortunately, Apple Inc. is aware of the challenge and has put forth the best business level strategy and corporate level strategies which are indicators of each growth even to new and unexploited markets in the world. The strategies of Apple Inc. are clearly illustrated and compared to that of Samsung, its giant competitor and the outcome is that there is hope for retaining the global leadership in technology investments (Piao, & Kleiner, 2015).
Business-Level Strategies
The business-level strategy that is more appealing at Apple Inc. is the product differentiation. Apple through this strategy was able to produce a wide range of products which are almost similar but with minor differences to match the customers’ needs and also the financial capabilities. This made the brand to be very popular because it could serve people of all economic classes and the market increased from only the high-class citizens but also to the middle class and even low-class citizens. Apple has a wider connection and an ear to the customer meaning that all the concerns which will be raised by the customer are handled with utmost care. The research and development team works around the clock to ensure that the kind of products produced is the replica of what the clients want. The best example is the improvement and addition of features to meet clients need (Khan, Alam, & Alam, 2015). When
the business realized that more people need an app store to access important services, the business corporation launched an app store complete with all the packages needed by the clients all over the globe. The app store was launched in some of the major products and customers could make choices accordingly.
The product differentiation is strongly boosted by the innovation which is the language at Apple Inc. the development of iPad became a huge milestone for the organization. Thousands of songs existed in the database to meet the needs of the customers; innovation made it possible to have a shuffling capability for all the songs present in the system. Through the incorporation of things like iCloud and other beautiful features, customers have had a wide range of choice.

Google aspires to be a different kind of company. It’s impossible to spell out every possible ethical scenario we might face. Instead, we rely on one another’s good judgment to uphold a high standard of integrity for ourselves and our company. We expect all Googlers to be guided by both the letter and the spirit of this Code. Sometimes, identifying the right thing to do isn’t an easy call. If you aren’t sure, don’t be afraid to ask questions of your manager, Legal or Ethics & Compliance.
This presentation discusses one of the business concept i.e. startups and one of the top rated multi national startup company, Apple Inc. Also it includes various points like risks associated, market scenario, steps to make a startup successful and other various topics. Take a look.

Strategic management: Apple Company
Apple Inc is a company that has been successful in the field of technology especially from its manufacture of high quality computers. The company also has been successful due to the market grip by iPhones and iPads (Carlton, & Kawasaki, 2013). The company has been making huge profits in the recent past. Recently, the market share of the company has really reduced due to the entry of so many companies making cheaper phones and computers. Strategic management is therefore important to restore the profit level of the company.
The market for mobile phones, pads and computers is a competition where there are no restrictions to entry and exit. There has therefore been an influx of companies selling their own brands of mobile phones and computers. The prices offered by these companies are lower than the price of apple products. As a result, it is important for the company to strategize on how to reclaim its market share. The main competitors of Apple include dell, Samsung, Toshiba, Compaq, Acer, Asus, among others phone and computers manufacturers (Carlton, & Kawasaki, 2013).
The company’s strategic management has identified intensive marketing and promotions as the step the company will make to reclaim the market share. The management of the company believes that, intensive advertising would solve the company’s decreased market share nightmare. The company’s management has identified several modes of advertising that will be utilized to implement this strategy.
The company will for instance put advertisements in the media. The media advertisements will be centered at making the public understand the products that the company offers (Lavidge, & Steiner, 2012). In televisions, there will be exhibit of the real products that the company offers. The will be display of mobile phones, iPhones and iPads on the television screen. The adverts will be a minimum of one minute long to increase the time that prospective consumers see the adverts. As a result, the company is likely to attract more customers.
The company will also utilize billboards to achieve its new marketing strategy. Billboards are large pictorials that are placed mostly on road sides and also across walls of tall buildings. The aim of billboard advertising is to ensure that, the adverts are seen by as many customers as possible (Rossiter, & Percy, 2011). The billboard pictorials will have pictures of the company’s products, which include the mobile phones, iPads, iPhones and laptops. The pictorials will exhibit the quality of the products. Alongside the pictures of these products will be the description of the features t ...

Finding and gathering organization possibilities is an activity for companies especially for firms like Apple Inc. In order to establish business strategic planning, managers are supposed to analyze cases that present organizations competitive benefits which distinguishes them from their rivals in the market. Apple is a huge firm which promotes creativity and brand value. Apple strictly focuses on ways to establish themselves as next generation technology leaders. We have many new and same products upcoming into the market which creates challenge for Apple to emphasize their vision. But still Apple succeeds growing in this inflated market and ensures that the growth rate is carried at a descent pace that doesn’t create problems for their brand identity or to their potential revenue growth. This paper examines the strategic planning’s and measures that Apple should consider to ensure continuous growth.
Generic Strategy
Apple stands in the world market for its creativity and innovation. The company successfully establishes market leadership by practicing generic strategy. Apple implemented the generic strategy for three places that comprises Low-cost leadership, Differentiation, and Focus. Concentrating on Low-cost Leadership, Apple has the advantage of controlling its huge and accepted supply chain to output the products at an affordable price. The prices for Apple products are at a high rate for increase in demands. So producing mass products like Phone and iPod, the firm establishes effective contract with the suppliers. This helps the company to provide a great quality product compared to the rivals. The iPod is the first key implementation by Apple that captured market shares from Sony which is known for its walkman. It experienced an evolution which came into action by the digital technology that segregated the iPod from various other goods in the market. Finally providing focus to enhanced planning, Apple was able concentrated on its products and introduced the iPod that targeted a huge number of people. In spite of the product being costly, the reduced size and the capability to accompany more songs established a belief amongst youth and the rest of the population. (John Kirk, 2013).
Value Discipline
One of the greatest concentrations of Apple is to ensure that their customers purchase value and the company utilizes it for promoting success. Apple was aware of the fact that few customers experienced value along with cost, services and goods. By this practice Apple links with Value Discipline as the top overall cost provider. The company succeeded in giving customers products with reduced cost and increase sales. Management was considered the key members to practice the Value Discipline and helping their customers and enhancing.

Apple Inc. Corporation
Apple Inc. is a United States-based company that deals with designing, manufacturing, and marketing both computer hardware and software as well as networking solutions among other consumer electronics. The firm’s commitment is introducing and providing personal computing as well as music experience to students, professors, creative professionals, management agencies as well as businesses among other clients through innovative hardware and software as well as internet services (Khan, Alam & Alam, 2015). Notably, the firm’s commercial approach leverages its exceptional capacity by the way its system of operation and technologies are designed and developed. Accordingly, it can camouflage in a competitive market and bring in innovative products and solutions which are easy to use. Like any other successful Corporation, Apple Inc. also exhibits tremendously stiff competition against other firms that produce computers as well as from other consumer electronics Corporations. Most of its competitors are large corporations with established markets either regionally or globally, for example, Compaq, Lenovo, Intel Corporation, Samsung, Microsoft as well as Dell among others.
Apple Inc. began the move of developing personal computing in 1977, however, because of variations in the management as well as contrasting opinions plus missed opportunities, it has lost its competitive advantage to other corporations like Microsoft, Dell as well as Samsung. Even with such stiff competition from its business counterparts, it continues to hunt the personal computer market though not like it used to do before. It opts to deviate its focus and venture into the music business through the manufacture and exchange of iPod, iTunes as well as digital music players. Marketing approaches like differentiation and specialization have enabled Apple to rejuvenate its market share. Significantly, the adoption of such strategies empowers an organization to acquire diverse knowledge as well as skills hence producing best quality products sold at considerable prices. Therefore, Apple company applies costs as well as products as the focus on their strategies to strive in the international market.
It is imperative to note that, Apple Inc. is grounded on two significant values which are; Inclusion and Diversity. To break it down further, Apple Inc. believes that humanity is not a singular concept but a plural and the most appropriate way to operate is through "everybody in" hence inclusion is the company's religion.

Instructions
For this week’s assignment, you will synthesize the most relevant information in the situation below, and present a solution in your own words, using your own analysis. You will not use all of the information included in the scenario. Remember it is not appropriate to cut and paste entire sections from the situation to substitute for your own analysis.
The objective of the assignment is to organize your message in a way that will be most effective in persuading the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to take action.
Situation: Convincing the CEO to Approve a Public Relations Plan
You are the director of public relations for Easy to Be Green, the innovative new company that helps homeowners, businesses, and municipalities become more environmentally friendly. The company has been active in environmental issues in the community since its founding a few years ago and generally has good community relations. Recently EBG’s director of research, who is strongly opinionated about environmental issues, spoke in public about the environmental practices of some local companies who employ many people in the community. Lately, you’ve found that some of your local contacts seem a little less interested in EBG’s public relations initiatives, and there has even been a small drop in sales. There may be no connections between these events, but you want to be proactive about the company’s community relations.
You also want to protect the company against charges of hypocrisy. The other day you as walked through the parking lot, it occurred to you that the majority of the employees drive SUVs, pick-ups, and other kinds of gas guzzlers. This includes the CEO, whose family car is a luxury sedan. The company’s delivery and service vans are also not the most environmentally-friendly vehicles.
After a little research, you come up with a tentative plan. You have learned that a local hybrid car dealership has been offering an interesting deal. Employees of companies that buy hybrids as company vehicles can get discounts when they buy hybrids for themselves. You think that the company should consider purchasing a couple of hybrid vans and encourage employees to buy hybrids for themselves by offering substantial rebates for these purchases. You want to get the CEO’s approval before you pursue this idea any further. You anticipate that he will have significant resistance. The company vehicles are not due for replacement, and the rebates to employees could add up to quite a lot if many employees take up the offer. On the other hand, if only a few employees take up the offer, a significant environmental initiative will seem like a failure. The CEO is a risk-taker in terms of business initiatives but tends to be conservative in management practices. He might also be a little defensive about the hybrid promotion plan because of his own vehicle choices.
You feel strongly that the potential benefits of this plan—in long-term savings on gas, in goo.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.

8. Human Recourse Management Strategies.
Value in their work; Google’s motto ‘‘Don’t be evil’’ and their mission statement ‘‘to organize the
world’s information and make it universally accessible’’ analysis speculate might a contributing fact
into why 73% (according to Pay Scale) Google employees find their work worth while Many Google
employees believe that their work makes a difference and makes the world a better place.
Discipline in innovation; Google has ‘innovation reviews’ , where department heads, top leadership
and executives meet together to focus their attention and resources on promising ideas early on. This
helps better management of resources and it’s enables company to come up with more innovative and
current tech that keeps up with the ever changing market demand.
Drive to learn and Talent; In Google they no longer ask for your degree or education levels, what they
focus on is the employees drive to learn and accomplish tasks. To back this up, Google’s own
engineering teams have collected research and crunched the data and they found that the college degree
and test scores to have no correlation to employees performances with the exception of newly graduates
where they found slight correlation. The only case where they ask for your test scores is if you have a
few years in schooling. Which is why Google teams currently consist of 14% non-college degree
holders that are actively contributing to innovations.

with less than a year’s experience with
$93,000 salary on average. It should also be
noted that Google intentional pays some of it’s
employees with the same role drastically
varying salaries. This done to reduce labor turn
over and to retain hard working from leaving
Google for other companies.
12. REVENUE AND STOCKS
• As you have seen, Alphabets revenue has staidly increased from $21.329Bil in 2015 December to $26.06Bil
in 2016 December. This increase of revenues year over year, in 2015 were 18% and in 2016 had increased
22%.
• During the 2016 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter in 2016 was 16%. Alphabet’s performances in these financial
quarters and year on year comparisons where majorly due to online ads on the mobile search engine and
YouTube.
• Alphabet’s subsidiary Google had a successful run from it’s non-ad revenue; which include the cloud
computing business, the new Nexus Pixel smart phones and the Google Play store. Which grew 49.4% to be
$3.10Bil in the quarter.
• This in turn has helped Alphabet’s GOOGL Class A stocks to reach a value of $10003.30 on Jun 5th 2017 on
the NASDAQ stock exchange. By diversifying, increasing search engine market share to 61.6% and gaining
exponential revenue, investors are confident in Alphabets growth as company which has allowed it’s stock
to increase by 25%.
• Alphabet now briefly joins an exclusive club of companies with stock price in the Quadruple digits.
13. Stocks And The Industry
And on June 5th 2017 on the NASDAQ stock exchange, Alphabet’s GOOGL stocks hit
$1003 for the first time in history (including Google Inc history) allowing it to briefly
join an exclusive club of companies with stocks worth $1003, before dropping down to
$974.86 on 21st June 2017.
The value of this indicator showed that Alphabet’s growth as a company even though it
had quickly spiked and slumped with small margin shows that due to being tech giant
with a huge market capital that is more diverse and spread out than it’s competitors,
investors show little if no wavering in Alphabet’s abilities by continuously investing in
their stocks.
However, on 27th June, 2017 alphabet stocks slid 2.5% to $948.09, which came as a result
of the E.U. fine, even though Alphabet the parent company has $92 billion in available
cash .
Being a global company of internet facing these challenges makes it more of an
exemplary company as even through this Alphabet has always remained an industry
leader as we see the stock for other U.S. industry giants like Amazon fall 1.7% and
Facebook fall 2% with the market being nervous of when the E.U. will turn to the other
giants.

was developed in 2005 and hired former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee to
head it’s operations. And Google China established in January 2006 with it
having the URL www.google.cn rather than www.google.com giving the
ability to penetrate the market.
• March 2009, Chinese security forces were filmed beating up Tibetans and
China restricted access to YouTube and also access to Google’s other
online services are denied from users arbitrarily.
• And on September 4th 2009, to make matters worse Mr. Kai-Fu Lee left
Google china to startup his own venture fund, during the crisis of Google’s
decreasing market share to local rivals Baidu and www.Soso.com, as well
as Chinese governments’ recent censoring policy.
• In 2010 , according to Analysis International, Google China’s market share
of 29% dropped to 5% in 2012 and further declined to 1.7% in 2013.
27. Google’s Solutions
the world’s biggest internet market and what kind of agreements it can come to without hurting its public
image.
Also determined Google users can access the Google products and google play through the use of VPN
which helps to bypass the Country’s firewall, but still limited access when it comes to in-app purchases or
buying apps.
And in February early this year, Google was reported to be in the middle of talks with Chinese internet and
online gaming giant NetEase, which could lead to a possible joint venture between the two firms and give
google the opportunity to tap into the world’s largest smartphone market through the its app developer
market from which it has been absent in from.
