4History
Apple Inc.
- Apple was established on April 1st, 1976 by Steve
Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne to sell the
Apple I personal computer kit. Steve Jobs was
said to own 45 of the company, Steve Wozniak
with 45 and Wayne with the remaining 10. While
Jobs and Wozniak were young with little to no
assets, Ronald Wayne was older with personal
assets and was scared to put these at risk. This
resulted in Wayne selling his share of the
company back to Jobs and Wozniak for a reported
800. Today Waynes share of the company would be
worth over 3 billion dollars. - Apple has developed a unique reputation in the
consumer electronics field. Those who use Apple
electronics tend to be enthusiastic about and
loyal to the products while those who have no
experience with Apples products often criticize
them as being overpriced.

9Vision Statement
Apple Inc.
Apples current vision statement was introduced
by CEO Tim Cook, who stated, We believe that we
are on the face of the earth to make great
products and thats not changing. We are
constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in
the simple not the complex. We believe that we
need to own and control the primary technologies
behind the products that we make, and participate
only in markets where we can make a significant
contribution. We believe in saying no to
thousands of projects, so that we can really
focus on the few that are truly important and
meaningful to us. We believe in deep
collaboration and cross-pollination of our
groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that
others cannot. And frankly, we dont settle for
anything less than excellence in every group in
the company, and we have the self- honesty to
admit when were wrong and the courage to change.
And I think regardless of who is in what job
those values are so embedded in this company that
Apple will do extremely well.

12Strengths
Apple Inc.
- Product development. Doesn't invent the market,
but its products set high standards for the
market. - Design and utility. Sleek, not clunky. For
instance, the desktop computer is part of the
screen, not a separate box with wires the iPhone
has very few buttons and feels nice in the hand.
Products are easy to use, almost intuitive. - Marketing. Clever and takes advantages of
people's frustrations with other hardware. - Brand name.
- CEO Steve Jobs. Visionary and charismatic.
13Weaknesses
Apple Inc.
- Very proprietary and controlling. Won't open the
operating system to outsiders to develop hardware
to work with the products, keeping hardware sales
to itself. While this keeps design control inside
and up to standards, it has hurt wide adaptation
of its hardware, especially computers, where it
has a relatively small market share. Apple has
veto power over Apps sold. - CEO Steve Jobs. He has been described as a
control freak and very demanding. When he dies,
the company will take a severe blow. When his
health was in the news, his secretiveness damaged
the company's reputation. - Not shareholder-friendly. Has abused option
granting in the past and refuses to pay a
dividend despite a huge (and growing) cash level,
no debt, and gobs of free cash flow.a
14Opportunities
Apple Inc.
- Very loyal customer base which has expanded
beyond the Mac-heads of the 1990s with the iPod
and the iPhone. The iPad has had a very
successful launch. This seems to be leading to
more sales of computers. - Has a well-deserved reputation for high-quality
products that work smoothly. New products are
generally well-received and have a built-in
purchasing base. - Move into other computer or media product spaces
that are not served well. Can continue to design
the standard-setter for those spaces. - A new version of Apple TV could take advantage of
today's more highly developed Web.
15Threats
Apple Inc.
- Big ideas are easy to copy. Microsoft (Nasdaq
MSFT) copied the graphical user interface, and
even Linux has a version. The touchscreen
interface is being used in other phones (e.g.
Android). Apps are being developed for other
smart phones and devices. - High-priced products. Apple priced itself out of
the personal computer market, and that remains a
problem. Other smartphones that look and behave
similarly to the iPhone are less expensive. - Google (Nasdaq GOOG) is moving into Apple's
smartphone space by giving away the operating
system, and it has announced that it will also be
moving into the TV space. Both companies are
well-funded, so any battle between the two could
be long and ugly.
