...苹果公司发展战略的分析与评价 苹果电脑公司在20 世纪70 年代通过Apple II 引发了个人电脑革命, 20 世纪80 年代Macintosh 的推出又彻底改造了个人计算机。2010 年， 苹果公司以2213.6 亿美元的市值，一举超越了微软公司，成为全球最具价值的科技公司。虽然今天的苹果公司看起来风光无限, 其实苹果公司在发展过程中并不是一帆风顺的。今天让我们从苹果公司的创新战略、企业文化、营销战略和管理战略来探讨苹果之所以在历次危机中没有垮掉的原因，从而找出对我们有用的启示。 1. 创新策略 在苹果公司一切都可以被颠覆，所有事都可以被重新定义，甚至包括创新本身。微软的成功向人们定义了创新的概念——所谓创新就是不断推出新技术。而苹果的创新则与众不同——苹果的创新是非传统上的技术创新，以用户为导向的艺术创新和独特的商业模式的统一。然而就是这种创新，在2006——2009年里，苹果只用了46亿美元的技术研发费用却打败了微软惊人的310亿美元，连续三年被《商业周刊》评为“全球最具创新能力的公司”。 1.1 技术创新 1.1.1 连续的创新 坚持连续这点非常重要，因为如果一个技术获得了相对其他竞争技术的优势，那么就有很强的激励资源从推动竞争技术中抽取出来，因为要使竞争技术具有竞争力需要更多的资源推动。一旦资源主要集中于领先技术，进一步的改良就会使该技术及其发展成为唯一经济的可行方式，因为其他的竞争技术已经远远落在了后面。而苹果公司的创新则避免了这种情况：从开创了桌面出版时代的Laserwriter激光打印机到首次拥有手写笔桌面和字体识别软件的牛顿MessagePad;从第一款配置触控板的笔记本Powerbook520到当时世界上运行速度最快的笔记本PowerbookG3;从无论是外部设计还是内部配置都引发一场革命的iMac到堪称从新发明了电话的iPhone，正是因为苹果在产品上的不断创新，它才有了更大的竞争力，并最后赢得了整个市场。 1.1.2 整合即创新 盛大掌门人陈天桥认为：“创新应该包含两层含义：一是从无到有的技术创新，另一种则是从无序到有序的整合创新。”而苹果走的就是后者。应当知道，苹果从来没有像微软或者施乐公司那样创造出一项全新的技术，它之所以能成功很大一部分是因为它懂得整合其他公司创造出来的先进技术并把它用于实践，生产出领先时代的产品并获得巨大利益。苹果的iPod就是一个很好的例子。以PortalPlayer公司生产的播放器为基础的iPod有着巨大的硬件优势：纤薄的外形，超大的容量，高速率的火线接口。而立足于C&G公司开发的SoundJam软件的iTunes具有非常强大的搜索功能且允许创建无数的播放列表（这在当时是非常先进的）。当两者结合在一起的时候颠覆了传统的音乐产业。硬件（iPod），软件（iTunes）和服务（iTunes Store）这三辆马车使得苹果能从头到尾完全控制用户体验，也使得苹果从这个体系的方方面面获得利润。但是在中国这种方式或许并不适用。早在苹果的iPod之前中国的深圳MP3已经获得了极大发展，也有人建议靠音乐曲库平台来下载维持硬件的生存，但是中国的MP3播放器因为技术太简单，“山寨版”多如牛毛，电子城走一圈，你可以看到成千上万种MP3播放器。另一方面，很多中国企业根本没有把知识产权放在眼里，苹果尽管使用了别人的技术和版权，但他们是按规矩付费的。这两点就决定了苹果iPod-iTunes的模式在中国并不适用。 1.2 艺术创新 这方面我觉得管理者自身的审美能力起着决定作用，而苹果的管理者恰恰就拥有极高的品味——那就是乔布斯。比尔...

...1.1. and 1.2 Organizations need to collect HR/L&D data for numerous reasons, some being training effectiveness compliance and also for the legal requirements, this information can help make decisions for the direction of the company, two of which are discussed below. Type of data that is collected from the perspective of a learning and development practitioner are training evaluation forms from induction and company employee’s. Training evaluation forms are imperative to learning and development practitioners because they provide information needed when conducting training needs analysis. By doing this we can drill down through by analysis to possibly identify competency gaps that employees may have and to research on whether a skilled, knowledge or behavior training needs to be conducted. These evaluation forms will help learning and development practitioners understand the success rate of the training curriculum and the learning and development practitioners’ own performance. If all or most of the feed back obtained from these forms where negative, then this could be an indicator either the training curriculum needs updated or the learning and development practitioner needs to be assessed further. Every organization has legal requirements. Government departments have an impact on the HR data and can demand records. These could be to satisfy legal requirements, provide relevant information in decision-making and for consultation requirements. Others include recording...

Problem Analysis 2.1 Cost Reduction 2.2 Structural Reorganisation 2.3 Ethics and Social Responsibility 3. Recommendations 4. Bibliography Introduction Pacific Brands is an Australian based textile retail business that operates throughout Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Asia. Within the following report is an exploration of the change process which Pacific Brands began implementation of in 2009. This step change was driven by a number of internal and external factors. These included falling profit and share price, increasing costs and the pressure of the worsening Global financial crisis. Added to this was the need to stay competitive in a market that has significantly shifted to cheaper imports. (TCF Review 2008, pp. 9-10) Pacific Brands restructure and the sale/discontinuation of unprofitable brands generated a focus towards core brands and the implementation of a profitable, streamlined structure that would guarantee the most cost efficient model. The disadvantage of such an aggressive restructure was the immediate media backlash and ensuing reputation damage caused by the outrage of employees, politicians and general public. 1.

...1.1 For a while now I have been having most of my employees complaining and nagging regarding the issue that our Insurance Company is not rated. I will explain briefly what does the rating of an insurance Company means; Insurance companies are rated by five major rating services. Each service uses its own criteria to issue a "report card" for the companies it rates. The rating agencies represent the company's assessment of an insurer's ability to meet its obligations to policyholders. The rating process involves quantitative and qualitative reviews of a company's balance sheet, operating performance and business profile, including comparisons to peers and industry standards and assessments of an insurer's operating plans, philosophy and management. The ratings formulae are proprietary. The ratings scale includes six "Secure" ratings: * A++, A+ (Superior) * A, A- (Excellent) * B++, B+ (Good) The scale also includes ten ratings for companies deemed "Vulnerable": * B, B- (Fair) * C++, C+ (Marginal) * C, C- (Weak) * D (Poor) * E (Under Regulatory Supervision) * F (In Liquidation) * S (Rating Suspended) The issues that my employees encounter because of the company not being rated is: possible customers untrusting 1.2 Our aim is to find out and compare the price that will be requested from the five main rating agencies to rate our Insurance Company and see if we could afford to get rated in the very near future. 1.3 Rating our Company...

This is done through proper configuration of Tomcat and JavaScript. Part 1.1 Apache Tomcat – server.xml 1. Create your assignment submission folder: 3680-HW3-YourLastName-YourFirstName. 2. Use the submission folder as the deployment folder for your web application. 3. Inside the submission/deployment folder, create a subfolder by the name WEB-INF and another by the name images. 4. Download the file music.jpg from the course website into the images subfolder. 5. Configure server.xml so that on the web server you have a context (alias) with the name: 03 (replace the brackets and their contents with your last name and initial). For instance, for Justin Case, the context for his Assignment 3 is casej03. 6. Configure server.xml so that the alias you created in the previous step points to your submission/deployment folder. 7. Write the default.htm page so that it looks like below. The page contains a picture of music notes (Hint: use the img tag and set its src property to the URI of music.jpg). Besides the Login hyperlink to login.htm, clicking this picture also opens up login.htm. 8. Start Apache Tomcat. 9. Test your server.xml configuration.

...www.sususejat.com Food Calories List Version 2.0 (updated 27 September 2010) User Manual 1 – The amount of the fiber, which do not contribute to the calorie, had been deducted from the amount of the carbohydrate stated in this Food Calorie List (except for the “Vegetables”, where the amount of the fiber is stated in the parenthesis). 2 – Kcal/g is the value of calorie in 1g of the particular food. The value tells you the calorie density of the food; the higher the value, the denser calorie the food has. 3 – There are 2 ways of determining the calorie of the food using this Food Calorie List: ◦ Using the recommended serving size given, then refer to the respective calorie value stated in the “Calorie (Kcal)” column. ◦ Using Kcal/g as a factor. For example, if you weigh the Mee Kari using a kitchen scale and the weight is 100g (without the bowl's weight), therefore the calorie of the weighed Mee Kari should be 0.77 x 100g = 77kcal (Notice that 0.77 is the Kcal/g of the Mee Kari). Panduan Pengguna 1 – Kandungan serat (tidak mempunyai nilai kalori) telah pun ditolak daripada jumlah karbohidrat yang dinyatakan dalam Food Calorie List ini (kecuali kategori “Vegetables”, yang mana nilai seratnya dinyatakan dalam kurungan). 2 – Kcal/g adalah nilai kalori bagi 1g untuk sesebuah makanan.
