    Apple Marketing Strategy

    The Company was created on April 1st, 1976 by two friends, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak along with one of the former colleagues of Jobs at Atari, Roald Wayne who was supposed to act as an arbiter between the two former students but who left the company after only 2 weeks because of his financial situation and the risks involved in the project. The first computer ever created by the company, Apple 1, was built in Jobs family garage in Los Altos, California and was nothing more than a computer circuit on a wooden board. The company’s focus was computer manufacturing until the early 2000s when Jobs turned it into a ‘consumer electronics’ company. The company met its downfall in the 90s, but Jobs who had just launched the Pixar studios, went back to the company as CEO and stayed at this position until 2011 when his medical condition forced him to resign. Tim cook, who had been Chief Operating Officer since 1998 then took over as CEO and remained at this position after Steve Jobs’ death, in October 2011.…

    Apple Inc. Business Analysis

    On April 1, 1976 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne joined together to form Apple Computer Incorporated. The concept behind their company was the creation of an inexpensive, simple to use personal computer kit. Working out of Jobs’ garage in Cupertino, California the trio designed and manufactured their first product in three months. They named this product the Apple I and it went on sale in July 1976 for $666.66. Six months after the release of the Apple I, Ronald Wayne opted to sell his share of the company back to Jobs and Wozniak for a meager $800. Soon thereafter multimillionaire Mike Markkula joined Apple and on January 3, 1977 the company was incorporated. Apple continued to gain momentum and was one of the fastest growing companies by the end of 1978. With the introduction of the Apple II plus, the company enjoyed a 400 percent increase in sales in 1979. In December of 1980 the company went public and within minutes the 4.6 million shares sold out at a price of $22 per share. An additional 2.6 million shares was also sold out by May 1981. However, the firm suffered its first major fallback with the release of the Apple III in September of 1980. The newest version had not undergone necessary testing due to time constraints and pressure from upper management. This proved to be extremely costly mistake and by 1984 the Apple III was discontinued. Below is a timeline with some of Apple’s key dates from the company’s short history.…

    Apple and Increasing Market Share

    Apple Inc. is a successful developer of both computers and consumer electronics. The company’s most popular products include Macintosh computers, iPod mp3 players, iPhone smartphones and most recently the iPad, which is a hybrid of a tablet computer, and an eReader. Apple’s Macintosh computers, iPods, iPhones, and iPads all share characteristics that make them part of the general information technology industry. However, since they are very different products each belongs to a more specific industry. The Macintosh computers are included in the personal computer industry, iPods in the personal media player category and, depending on the model, the mobile internet device (MID) market and iPhones to the smartphone and MID industry. The iPad has not been released to the general public yet, but considering its various features it could belong to many markets. However, it will most likely be competing with the internet tablets, netbooks, and eReaders. Considering their competitors, one could surmise that the iPad will belong to both PC and eReader markets. By incorporating market assessment and predictions for each of Apple’s products, as well as consumer research into the promotional strategy, Apple will be able to improve its product sales 10% over 2011.…
