  • Apple's Iphone Launch: a Case Study in Effective Marketing
    Apple's iPhone Launch: A Case Study in Effective Marketing Kyle Mickalowski, Augustana College Mark Mickelson, Augustana College Jaciel Keltgen, Augustana College ABSTRACT When CEO Steve Jobs announced in January 2007 that Apple would be releasing a revolutionary iPhone five months hence, consumers waited with bated breath for a phone that would deliver all the features of their iPods as well as a smart phone. Anticipation grew, just as Jobs knew it would, as June approached. The launch would become one of the most heralded technological product splashes Apple, known for its masterful media build-up, had ever planned. How the iPhone was developed, priced, promoted, and distributed is lesson for marketers around the world. Apple investors were pretty happy with the outcome as well. INTRODUCTION One year after Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs announced the company’s industry-changing iPhone on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld convention in San Francisco, the share price of Apple’s stock has more than doubled to a January 9, 2008, value of $179.40 (See Chart 1). This stock price incorporates all of Apple’s business, but a large part of the rise in value can be attributed to the launch of the cutting-edge iPhone, of which four million have already been sold through mid-January 2008 (Carew, 2008). Based on this simple observation of the stock price, the iPhone can so far be declared a success, at least from a shareholder standpoint. This paper will explore both the pre- and post-launch activities surrounding the iPhone to explain why it was such a success for the stockholders and why Apple’s reputation for unparalleled marketing success is deserved.

  • Executive Summary Apple Inc Is One of the Most Iconic Companies of the Recent Decade
    Rutgers Business School Applied Portfolio Management Analyst: Alexander Berila Executive summary Apple Inc is one of the most iconic companies of the recent decade. Apple has not only been developing and selling great products. More importantly the company has been building an incredible platform and an ecosystem for its loyal users within which it could further sell apps and services. The company is not immune to general market trends and some of the product sales are slowing down either due to markets maturing (e.g. smartphones) or due www. nasdaq.com to a general industry decline (e.g. music players and computers). Apple has a formidable competition within well established and well financed companies such as Alphabet, Samsung, Amazon, HP as well as newcomers from China like Huawei and Xiaomi. Despite strong competition the company managed to grow and thrive within its industries and enjoys one of the best balance sheets and financial metrics among its peers. Moat Apple moat is built on a combination of economies of scale, great products protected by a wall of patents, very strong brand recognition and a unique ecosystem which holistically links everything together. Valuation In my opinion, Apple stock is undervalued. Stock has fallen over 19% in the last 12 month compared to a 1.5% fall for S&P 500. Currently, AAPL trades at TTM P/E of 11.25 which is lower than 5 year average P/E ratio of 13.8. I believe www. finance.yahoo.com that market is incorrectly pricing the value of not only Apple’s $164b of cash piled in LT equities but also of earning potential of existing and new products.
