People are more likely to buy a long-life phone in shopping places; advertisements can be produced to let people know HTC; and HTC has to find the strategies to cover the more customers in China.
The report concludes that compared with market development, the product development is the most efficient way to develop HTC Company because products in HTC will be more convenient and cheaper than IPhone4.
