STERN SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Supply Chain and Information Systems with honors in Supply Chain and Information Systems Reviewed and approved* by the following: Felisa Preciado Clinical Associate Professor of Supply Chain and Information Systems Thesis Supervisor John C. Spychalski Professor Emeritus of Supply Chain Management Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT In the past few decades, Apple has gone from being an incredible startup success story, to a company on the very brink of failure, to its current status as one of the most valuable and emulated companies in the world. It originally got its start through technological innovations, laser-like focus and a sometimes uncanny understanding for what consumers would want, and those things have certainly been constant themes during its periods of success. But one of the biggest reasons for its outstanding success in the past decade has been the way Apple has leveraged its supply chain both to control costs and to give it a competitive advantage unmatched by any of its competitors. This paper analyzes the Apple supply chain to try to identify the way in which Apple has taken advantage of its supply chain, adapted it to changes in the market, and used it as both a defensive and offensive competitive weapon to become one of the most successful and influential companies in the world.

Both Grant and Duchene were trying to identify what changes, if any, they should make to BXE’s portfolio. “Apple is investing in its next generation of products, potentially the first new major product lines since Tim Cook took over from Steve Jobs,” she said. Apple Inc., the world’s largest company by market capitalization, had introduced a series of consumer products during the past dozen years that had transformed it into the industry leader in consumer devices.
