...Why is the Acer Aspire in such trouble just two and a half years after its launch? What are the sources of the problems in the U.S.? Worldwide? There are multiple reasons for this: 1. Difference between design and the actual product Engineers from strategic business units were not involved in the design process which was solely owned and created by Acer American Corporation and Frog Design. So the SBU engineers faced difficulty putting hardware together with that design. 2. Many solutions, many problems Since client-server organizational structure tempted everyone to pitch-in his idea about this product using his own perception, which resulted in too many configurations resulting in brand dilution and no global support 3. Lack in customer service Acer aspire was targeting huge consumer market from high to low end. But since they lack in customer service, which is indeed a critical customer oriented approach, it never created the required awareness which never enabled customers to actually able to see the value of the product 4. Market competition US market was already flooded with huge empires like HP which were putting in a strong competition making it difficult for Acer to reach target figures 5. Marketing strategies Although successful in some regions, the marketing strategy failed in many regions. Many customers who had seen the fully featured product in a marketing message...

...Harvard Business School 9-399-011 Rev. April 9, 2001 Acer America: Development of the Aspire In early 1998, Stan Shih, CEO of Taiwan-based personal computer (PC) manufacturer Acer, Inc., was reviewing the first estimates of 1997 year-end results. With revenue of $6.5 billion from own brand and sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as IBM, the company was now acknowledged to be the third largest PC manufacturer in the world. Although the performance was respectable in the wake of a dramatic drop in memory chip prices that had plunged the company’s semiconductor joint venture into losses, Acer’s extraordinary growth period of the mid-1990s was clearly over. (See Exhibit 1.) The ever-restless CEO was wondering how to re-ignite the fire. Shih was convinced that Acer’s mid-1990 successes were due at least in part to the revolutionary “client-server” organizational structure he had introduced in 1992. The concept was inspired by the network computer model, where “client” computers—the strategic business units (SBUs) and regional business units (RBUs) in Acer’s organizational metaphor—were capable of complete independence but could also take on the “server” role, adding value for the entire network. To Shih, proof of the client-server structure’s potential had come with the 1995 introduction of the Aspire multimedia home PC. Created by Acer America Corporation (AAC), Acer’s U.S. marketing subsidiary and one of Acer’s five RBUs, this new product confirmed Shih’s...

...Around Christmas time of last year I purchased an Acer Aspire V515.6-Inch touchscreen laptop in cool steel. Performance: The primary function of the device is to facilitate everyday activities like web browsing, communicating and playing videos. Features: Thanks to its powerful Quad-Core processor everything is more vibrant. It features HD browsing, great visuals on the 15.6" HD touch screen display. Conformance: The fundamental standard for this product would be its ability to provide clear media display along with crisps sound, long battery life and fast browsing. In my opinion this product conformance is within quality standards. Durability: Since my initial purchase my laptop has fallen off the bed several times and still performs with the same quality of its unpacking. Serviceability: Aspire provides a one year limited warranty which provides hardware, software and technical support for that given timeframe extended warranties are available only at an addition cost. Aesthetics: My Aspire touchscreen notebook is very thin less than 1" thin, which is much slimmer than any of my previous laptops. Very sleek and modern with vibrant touch screen display. Perceived Quality: For a long time Acer has had quite suspect perceived quality. But recently Acer has changed and have been paying more attention to quality, this notebook is proof of their efforts that has few complaints against it. This notebook looks well-built and has powerful hardware that is hard...

For the Cable Technician the computer I chose for that profession would be the Panasonic Toughbook 53. This computer is tough enough to be put in the field. With having to take it into customer’s homes if it were to be dropped it could withstand the impact. With the size of hard drive, RAM, and speed it could run programs to access customer info and company records. For the Accountant I chose the Acer Aspire TC Series. With RAM, and speed of this computer an accountant could run programs to calculate figures for his or her clients. The hard drive is sufficient to be able to store a lot of spreadsheets and graphs. For the Graphic Designer I chose the Asus G20AJ-B09. With the amount of information, size of programs, and the data used for this profession this computer has the hard drive, speed to do everything...

It has 12 GB of RAM, which is essential for fast processing as video editing, rendering, and recording can put a big strain on a PC with less RAM. The hard drive is also especially important; at 1TB it should give you plenty of room for multiple video files and editing/recording software, as this can potentially take up a large amount of space. Profession 2: DJ The Acer Aspire 2-in-1 may be best for the professional DJ, as this particular profession requires a fair amount of RAM and a good processor for multitasking (running the “mixing” software, inputting multiple commands into said software, recording, etc.). This also requires a large hard drive for the software itself, and hundreds (possibly thousands) of songs. Laptops are also ideal for easy transportation, minimum wire connections...

There are many different factors that can impact the gross profit of a merchandise company including an increase in supplies, labor, and taxes. Anything that increases the cost of producing a product or providing a service affects the gross profit of the merchandise/service. In many markets, companies do not have the ability to increase the price of their product just because of increase in production costs, thus costing them profit. 3)...

...To what extent would a differentiation strategy be a better option than a low cost option for Aspire when entering China? (16marks) A differentiation strategy is something businesses use to gain an edge over their competitors. In industries where multiple competitors produce similar products, managers will try to make their product unique in some way so that it stands out from the pack. A low cost option focuses on providing similar benefits to competitors, but at a lower price. For Aspire to differentiate, they need to provide more benefits than their competitors for example strong levels of customer service, which therefore should enable them to charge higher prices. If Aspire pursued a differentiation strategy the distribution of the coffee should be exclusive, keeping a tight control over distribution to maintain an exclusive image. This being used to emphasise the difference between their products (the coffee) to their rivals. In order to compete in the Chinese market Aspire needs to make sure its product is different from competitors. If consumers value this difference it will benefit the firm in two ways, firstly by an increased sales volume and a greater scope for charging a higher price. Differentiation can be based on a number of different characteristics for example different distribution methods, clever promotional and advertising campaigns to boost brand image and sales and the design of the products itself for example the coffee cups etc. Differentiation...

...is the ACT Aspire Test? Colleges accept both SAT or ACT test results for determining that a student is academically ready for college. While some students take both tests, others choose one. The ACT is described as more of an achievement exam, while the SAT requires more reasoning skills. The ACT is comprised of multiple-choice questions in the areas of English, reading, science, mathematics, and includes an optional writing test. Many school districts have taken measures to buildup participation in the ACT and optimize student outcomes. ACT Aspire is the latest curriculum-based program for elementary through high school students, designed specifically to: provide early assessment of student progress; enhance college readiness; and...

...become. For the purpose of this paper the author shall attempt to analyze the article “Love of Money and Unethical Behavior Intention: Does an Authentic Supervisor's Personal Integrity and Character (ASPIRE) Make a Difference?,” written by Thomas Li-ping Tang and Hsi Liu (Tang & Liu, 2012). There shall also be an attempt to determine if the examples given determine a love for money or if these were actual survival tactics for a chosen lifestyle. I will also suggest a question that I believe should have been added to the questionnaire. Tan and Liu were attempting to determine the affects the love of money has on ethical decisions when supervisors vary in their ethical lifestyle. 266 part time business employees (students) were given five questionnaires to fill out. This qualitative study also saw them perusing databases doing panel reviews to obtain the same respondent in different phrase of their life. Reflecting on previous studies Tang and Liu specifically review the perception of authentic supervisors’ behavioral integrity and character (ASPIRE) as a moderator of the relationship between people’s love of money (LOM) and their tendency to engage in unethical behavior. People with low ASPIRE and high unethical behavior intentions are considered high LOM. High ASPIRE and low unethical intention people are...
