Globalization and technological advancements have significantly influenced how modern businesses work to increase their competitive edge and financial performance standards. Furthermore, the strategic management framework and the resource-based framework may be used on enterprises to help them accomplish overall projected ambitions. For this assignment, I chose a company that many are familiar with. The Apple Company is among the most significant international businesses. Apple was formed in 1976 and is a global technology company that develops and sells computer hardware and software, internet service providers, and gadgets, along with various things. It is headquartered in the United States and works in various industries, including cellular telephone manufacturing. It is regarded as one of the greatest technological multinational firms in market share (Abdukarimova, 2021). Apple's earnings have increased due to its strong market sector growth and performance compared to its biggest rivals in the competitive market.Globalization
Globalization could be referred to as the progression through which companies make a worldwide influence or start to operate on a worldwide platform. It would be understood that globalization has culminated in removing obstacles, which has boosted imports and exports. The removal of restrictions has enabled Apple to grow into new markets and increase its competitiveness and earnings. Presently, this firm works in 24 nations and territories and has approximately 500 outlets, and its commodities are sold in most places in the world. It has extended Apple's consumer base, requiring the business to raise manufacturing power to satisfy growing consumer needs and requirements (Mamaghani, 2016). As a consequence, the firm employs a combination of direct and indirect distribution techniques to improve on-time deliveries and prevent unnecessary complications and delays.
The degree of competition in the marketplace wherein Apple's Current works has significantly grown due to globalization. The firm is presently facing severe pressure against companies such as Samsung, Nokia, and Toshiba, among many others, on a worldwide platform. The rivalry is mostly focused on pricing, responsiveness, and manufacturing efficiency, as certain businesses can accomplish low operating costs and therefore implement superior pricing tactics. The consumer wants in the sectors where Apple works are incredibly competitive, requiring firms to be extremely attentive to prevent deficits. Nevertheless, the more significant rivalry has led to the development of high-quality items that benefit buyers (Puncheva-Michelotti et al., 2018). Therefore, competing firms are the potential of producing items comparable to some of those made by Apple and selling goods at a discounted cost. Apple is concentrated on delivering high-quality goods that meet the demands of buyers worldwide, which has impacted company activities and its ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

organic growth and this can be concluded as that the company offer existing products in to the existing

1. Threat of new entrants
Since there is a high demand for electronic items there may be threat of new entrant to the
industry. Company can eliminate threats by following ways.
Increasing entry cost by investing in Research and development activities
Signing up agreements with existing customers
Increasing economies of scales
Obtain more patent rights where other companies cannot produce such products.
2. Bargaining powers of suppliers
The company has taken several measures to reduce bargaining powers of suppliers
Accordingly the company has created a strong supply chain which reduces the bargaining
power of suppliers. Further the company holds the lots of patent rights of where other
companies cannot product such products and the suppliers also has to sell their products to the
company as there is no any other customers to buy their products
.
3. Bargaining powers of Customers
Company can manage bargaining powers of customers by entering in to long term supply
agreements with customers. Further since the company has lots of patent rights in the industry
customers doesn’t have any other supplier for these types of products
4. Threat of substitutes
Threat from substitutes is very high as the industry is moving fast. This threat can be eliminated
by investing in research and development activities and inventing new products with improved
efficiency as a substitute for existing products.
5. Competitive rivalry within the industry
Competition faces by the company can be eliminated by following ways,
Entering in to long term supply agreements with customers
Investing in research and development activities
Increasing the efficiency in supply chain
Increasing economies of scales
7. It can be noted that the company is operating in an oligopoly market as there are few
companies who engaged in this industry. Further company has lots of market opportunities as
they have lots of patent rights which they can use for growth of their operations. However the
company has managed to dominate in the electronic material market with the knowledge and
the patent rights they have.
PESTEL Analysis
Further the company’s external environment can be analyzed using PESTEL analysis,
Accordingly as discussed in the appendix 3 it can be noted that political stability of the countries
in which it carry out operations and countries in which it manage its manufacturing plants. In this
aspect political stability of countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, USA are important to
the AZs operations. Economic factors such as inflation and developments in ICT may affect to
the operation of the company. For example economic crises prevail in European region may
have a impact on the sales value of the company and may affect to the operations of the
company ultimately.
Current market trends in the electronic industry may affect to the operations of the company.
More specifically trend for smart phones and tabs may affects positively on the operations of the
company. Being a main customer of the company, demand for smart phones of Samsung has
affected the strategy of the company.
