Please direct all questions to [email protected] Pia Paul Chair Dear Delegates, Welcome to the Apple Board of Directors’ committee! I am so ridiculously excited to take part in this experience with all of you! The main mission of our committee is to improve Apple’s image to the general public whilst making sure that as part of the Board of Directors, you are maximizing profits for Apple. Our committee will focus on key issues that Apple faces such as privacy, corporate social responsibility, and treatment of workers. I hope that all of you have a great time in committee and acquire an even greater understanding of crisis procedure when dealing with a company such as Apple. Please keep in mind that in this crisis committee; there is so much space for all of you to move committee in a certain way with dynamic, and two dimensional characters. The possibilities are limitless! I am currently a freshman and this will be my first time chairing for AmeriMUNC and I can’t wait to see the creativity and different character arcs you all bring. I participated in Model United Nations all throughout high school- starting in general assembly committees and then moving onto crisis committees (which were my favorite). It was being in Model United Nations that fostered my interest in international relations and consequently, I am majoring in international relations and minoring in economics at American University.

Sen taustalla on viime vuosien kehityssuunta, jossa PR:n vaikutusvalta on kasvanut ja lehdistön puolestaan heikentynyt. Pyrin tutkimuksellani valottamaan journalistien keinoja toimia tässä ympäristössä. Keskityn journalistien tekemien lingvististen muutosten kategorioihin ja määriin Henk Pander Maatin (2008) tutkimusmetodia käyttäen. Lopuksi vertailen tuloksiani hänen tuloksiinsa. Muutosten taustalla on lehdistötiedotteen ja uutisartikkelin välinen genrekonflikti. Lehdistötiedotteen genreen kuuluu näyttää aiheensa positiivisessa sävyssä, mutta se ei välttämättä sovi uutisartikkelin objektiivisempaan tyyliin. Täten journalisti

  • Iphone X - the Start of a Super Cycle Or the End of an Era of Growth?
    October 16, 2017 Daniel Ives, Head of Technology Research | 917.210.3220 | [email protected] iPhone X - The Start of a Super Cycle or the End of an Era of Growth? In this research piece we take a deeper dive into Apple through industry analysis, survey work compiled by the GBH team, and a closer look into the potential impact the iPhone X launch will have for Apple and the smartphone industry moving ahead. In a nutshell, we believe iPhone X demand will be strong in the US and especially China as overall our survey feedback indicates that 40% to 45% of iPhone upgrades in FY18 will be iPhone X devices with iPhone 8/8+ tailwinds helping set up a “super cycle” upgrade over the next year. We note in past upgrade cycles for Apple the current iPhone accounts for 50%-60% of overall iPhone sales, while based on our work in the field we believe this time around roughly 65% to 70% of sales will be either iPhone X or iPhone 8 (likely 8+ stronger) which should support a higher ASP and growth thesis for the course of FY18 and 1HFY19 for Apple. While supply chain issues will elongate the iPhone X upgrade cycle well into FY18, we believe seeing the “forest through the trees” will translate into this super cycle upgrade being a major growth catalyst for Apple (and its investors) over the coming year. We rate Apple a Highly Attractive on our GBH Value Matrix. • Pent up demand a key ingredient to Apple’s success. In addition to a more robust upgrade in terms of form/function on iPhone X, we believe iPhone units will benefit from a massive iPhone installed base that is ~2 years old (or older).
