Will Cho “Apple without SEC” vs. “SEC without Apple” +822-768-4306 [email protected] Apple is now one of the most valuable corporations in the world. However, SEC sells Young Ryu more smartphones than Apple does. Unsurprisingly, global investors are paying keen +822-768-4138 attention to the competition between Apple and SEC, their innovations, and their [email protected] potential breakup. Our analysis suggests Apple is increasingly leaning toward „sustaining innovation‰ while SEC pursues a strategy of differentiation. At the same Brian Oh time, in reshuffling the global supply chain, we expect Apple could have difficulty +822-768-4135 [email protected] procuring parts supply without SECÊs contributions, while the Korean giant is likely to see very limited impacts from the absence of demand from Apple. SEC: Disruptive innovation and strategic decisions In the late 1990s, Nokia focused on disruptive innovation on its way to achieving massive global expansion. In the 1980s, Intel made a key strategic decision to move from the memory sector into the CPU sector, a shift that led the company to become the global CPU leader. This year, SEC has followed in the footsteps of both Nokia and Intel. SECÊs mass customization of smartphones reminds us of NokiaÊs expansion strategy, which enabled Nokia to obtain a global handset market share of more than 40%. And, just as Intel did in the 1980s, SECÊs semiconductor division is shifting its focus from the memory unit to the System LSI unit. In 2013, we believe SEC is likely to face a key strategic decision in its pursuit of fresh disruptive innovation.

  • COMPUTER Computer Is an Electronic Device That Is Designed To
    COMPUTER Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information.The term computer is derived from the Latin term „computare‟, this means to calculate.Computer can not do anything without a Program.it represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits. The Word 'Computer'usually refers to the Center Processor Unit plus Internal memory. Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.The basic components of a modern digital computer are: Input Device,Output Device,Central Processor. A Typical modern computer uses LSI Chips. Charles Babbage is called the "Grand Father" of the computer.The First mechanical computer designed by charles Babbage was called Analytical Engine. It uses read-only memory in the form of punch cards. Four Functions about computer are: accepts data Input processes data Processing produces output Output stores results Storage Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc. Process: Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally internal process of the computer system. Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use. Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space.[2] Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries.

    The role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational enterprise strategy: a multiple case study A Master Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Economics and Business by Justin Brandsma S2734818 Supervisor: H.U. Haq Co-assessor: J.R. de Wit WC: 16484 June 2020 Groningen, The Netherlands The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy 2 The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy Foreword In front of you lies my master thesis on: “the Role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational strategy: a multiple case study“, written as part of the master’s degree in International Business and Management at the University of Groningen. I consider this thesis to be the culmination of 6 beautiful student years in the even more beautiful city of Groningen, a wonderful period of my life! My choice for this thesis topic dates back to my late middle-school and early high-school years where I developed a big interest in the ancient Greek history and mythology. Especially the tales of Alexander the Great who managed to expand the Macedonian empire all the way to northeast India were intriguing to me. This Greek venture East in 334BC led to the establishment of the earliest version of a trade route between Constantinople (Turkey) and Xi’an (China), known as the Silkroad. 1600 years later Marco Polo would travel this route from Venice to China and work as the personal advisor of the Mongolian ruler: Kublai Khan. The accumulation of his experiences and adventures in the East came together in the brilliant travel memoire written by Rusticello da Pisa named ‘il Milione’ or commonly known as the ‘the travels of Marco Polo’.

    Post Print This article is a version after peer-review, with revisions having been made. In terms of appearance only this might not be the same as the published article. THE GLOBALISATION OF CHINESE BRANDS Marketing Intelligence &Planning, (2006) 24:4, 365-379 Ying Fan Brunel Business School Brunel University Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH England [email protected] Keywords branding, Chinese brands, internationalisation, international marketing global markets, globalisation THE GLOBALISATION OF CHINESE BRANDS Abstract China has taken over Japan over the last decade to become the largest manufacturer and exporter of more than one hundred consumer products. However, China, as “the world factory”, has yet to create a single brand that is recognised worldwide. The recent acquisition of IBM’s PC business by China’s Lenovo may signal the beginning of the globalisation of Chinese brands. This paper considers the current brand revolution in China, focusing on the unique challenge faced by major Chinese enterprises: how to sustain their brands in domestic competition and how to expand in the global markets. The paper is divided into two parts: it first gives a brief review of the development of marketing and branding in China since the start of economic reform in 1978, and then discusses current issues in the domestic market: changes from price competition to brand competition, as well as diversification and the role of the government. The second part examines the routes to internationalisation taken by some of China’s biggest brands; differences in their entry modes and branding strategies are analysed. Introduction It is now difficult to find a shop in the West that does not sell products with a Made- in-China label.
