Apple brand embodies quality, prestige, and innovation. Although companies tried to copy the
Apple business model, none have been able to discover what it is that makes Apple so unique.
Apple is ranked first in innovation by Fortune magazine and is a market leader in the
development and sales of mobile devices. Many believe Apple's success stems from a
combination of several factors, including the remarkable leadership skills of former CEO Steve
Jobs, a corporate culture of enthusiasm and innovation, and the high-tech products for which
Apple is known. These combining qualities allow Apple to revolutionize the technology and
retail industries. Apple's History Apple's first product, the Apple I, was vastly different from the
Apple products most are familiar with today. This first handmade computer kit was constructed
by Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak. It lacked a graphic user interface (GUI), and buyers had to
add their own keyboard and display. Cofounder Steve Jobs convinced Wozniak that it could be
sold as a commercial product. In 1976 the Apple I was unvelled at the Home Brew Computer
Club and put on sale for $666.66. Jobs and Wozniak continued to create innovative products.
Soon their new company, Apple Computer Inc., surpassed \$1 million in sales. However, the
mid-1980s brought difficult times for Apple. In 1983 the company introduced the Apple Lisa for
$10,000. The product flopped. In 1985 Steve Jobs was ousted after internal conflicts with the
Apple CEO. Its computer products the Mac I and the Newton were not successful, and the
company underwent several CEO changes. With declining stock prices, the future of Apple was
in jeopardy. 'This case was prepared by Jennifer Sawayda, Harper Baind. Danielle Jolley, and
Julian Mathias for and under the direction of O.C. Ferrell and Linda Ferrell. It was prepared for
classroom discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an
administrative, ethical, or legal decision by management. All sources used for this case were
obtained through publidy avalable material on the Apple website 62015.
Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 to try and save the struggling company. The return of Jobs
introduced a new era for Apple. Jobs immediately began to change the company's corporate
culture. Before Jobs's return, employees were m.
Apple was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. They started out of Jobs' garage selling the Apple I computer. Since then, Apple has grown tremendously and become a leader in consumer electronics. Some key events include the introduction of the Apple II in 1977, the Macintosh in 1984, the iMac in 1998, and the iPhone in 2007. Today, Apple has over 500 retail stores worldwide and annual revenue of over $230 billion. Through innovative products and marketing, Apple has established itself as a top global brand known for its emphasis on design.
Apple is an American technology company known for its consumer electronics. Founded in 1976, Apple gained recognition in the 1980s with its Macintosh computers. While experiencing setbacks, Apple regained success in the 1990s with its entry into California and the launch of the iPod in 2001. Currently, Apple has grown exponentially worldwide through quality products like the iPhone and iPad. Managing its large workforce as it expands globally has become a challenge for Apple's leadership.
Apple was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. It started as a computer company and became famous for pioneering the personal computer. Over the decades, Apple introduced revolutionary products like the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that changed industries. Some key events include Jobs returning as CEO in 1997 and launching the iMac, turning the company around. After Jobs' death in 2011, Tim Cook became CEO and continues to release innovative products annually. Apple is now the world's most valuable company, generating over $230 billion in annual revenue from its wide range of technology products and services.
The document discusses unethical sweatshops that utilize employees to work under harsh conditions with minimal wages and excessive hours, disregarding labor laws. While businesses claim this improves lives and is not unethical, the concept of sweatshops is complex as it depends on one's perspective. One example provided is a large retailer, Vogue & Co, that outsources production internationally and while making millions in profits, workers live in poor conditions without decent wages or a safe environment.
After becoming the first company valued at over $700 billion, Apple's continued success under CEO Tim Cook is examined. Cook has overseen doubling of Apple's value since replacing Steve Jobs in 2011, quieting skeptics by delivering intensified demand, particularly in China. The document then provides historical context on Apple's founding and Jobs' return in 1997 to refocus the struggling company. It outlines Jobs' impact on Apple's culture of innovation and design excellence under his leadership.

2. A SWOT analysis identified Apple's strengths as strong customer loyalty, innovation in mobile devices, and strong financial performance, while weaknesses included high prices, incompatibility with other operating systems, and decreasing market share.
3. Recommendations included that Apple should scale up its production capabilities to better meet spikes in demand for new products.
The Apple logo has evolved over time from its original depiction of Isaac Newton under an apple tree to the iconic minimalist rainbow-colored bitten apple. The bite was originally added so it was clear it represented an apple, and lent itself to a play on "byte." When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he realized the universally recognizable logo shape could be leveraged to help the struggling company, leading to it being prominently displayed on products. The logo has since taken on different stylings like metallic, glass, and today's flat modern version.

NEXT
Could it be that Apple's best quarter
ever—and the second most profitable in
U.S. corporate history, at $13.1 billion—is
a head-for-the-hills disaster? With mar-
gins declining and no imminent "in-
sanely greaf new products (as Steve Jobs
liked to call them), has the age of Apple
come abruptly to an end?
To understand whaf s happening with
Apple, it's prudent to step back from the
noise of Wall Street and recognize five
essential truths about Apple's success.
TRUTH NO. I: Apple has never been a non-
stop, new-product machine.
Apple's stock wouldn't have plunged if
expectations, financial and otherwise,
hadn't been so high. Apple is the market's
most emotionally driven brand, "the
Super Bowl for stock lunatics," as Stock-
TWits CEO Howard Lindzon puts it. Every
tech blogger, hedge-fund manager, and
fan has a fervent opinion about it. We
have been emotionally conditioned to
believe in Apple's game-changing powers.
Apple thrived on this attention and
the belief that the next revolutionary
product was coming: iPod, iPhone, iPad.
What is too easily forgotten is that Apple's
quantum leaps were never fast and furi-
ous. We forget that six years separated
the launches of the iPod and the iPhone,
The marvel of Apple has been
its seemingly inexhaustible
capacity to pummel consumers
again and a jiain with
product refinements.
and three years came between the iPhone
and iPad. What is more, the pace of adop-
tion of these products, meteoric of late,
was not always so. The iPad took two
years to sell 100 million units; the iPhone
nearly four years; the iPod six.
Is there impatience about what's
coming next? Of course. Wall Street is
indignant that Apple hasn't announced
a wearable computer, say, or a voice-
controlled TV As Lindzon says, "Apple's
problem is that it can't dance to what Wall
Street wants." But, frankly, it never has.
TRUTH NO. 2: The real driver of Apple's
success has been incremental
innovation.
If the magic of Steve Jobs was his aptitude
for conceiving new product categories,
the marvel of Apple has been its seem-
ingly inexhaustible capacity to pummel
consumers again and again with product
refinements. Apple has earned a distinc-
tive reputation for thriving with only a
handful of products; often overlooked is
how many different versions of these few
products Apple continually rolls out.
The Apple gadgets we know and love
today are markedly different from their
first iterations. Yes, the 2001 launch of
the iPod marked the beginning of a
revolution in how we consume music.
But most forget that iPod sales didn't
explode until 2005, when Apple released
the Nano. Apple released two dozen ver-
sions of the iPod—including generations
of the Classic, Nano, Mini, Shuffle, Touch,
even one branded and di.

Steve Wozniak And The Apple Computer EssayLisa Martinez
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer in 1976. They incorporated the company as Apple Inc. in 1977 in Cupertino, California. After founding Apple, Jobs was fired in 1985 but returned as CEO in 1997. Under his leadership, Apple flourished again and introduced successful products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. However, Apple faced some challenges over the years including unclear marketing plans, employee issues, and financial/legal problems that hurt its reputation, but the company was able to address these issues and achieve long-term success.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
