    Question.184 - Discuss the vision, mission and objective of the company?Vision statement is the future picture of any company. Apart from being the picture of the company, the vision statement entails many other things such as inspiration, framework and the strategic planning associated with it. Vision statement may be for the whole company or for a single division. Vision statement basically aims to portray the future in terms of hope, dreams and expectations. A mission statement is the statement that crafts the road map to achieve the vision. The mission statement lists the broad goals for which the organization is formed. The vision statement remains intact even if there is a change in the market and its trend. However the mission statement may change due to certain changes however it would still tie back to the core values and vision. The vision and mission statement of companies differ from type and industry to which it belongs. Apple Inc, headquartered at Cupertino, California was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1970 with the vision as follows:“Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.“The mission statement however is not very clear and is a list of products and past accomplishments. As stated Apple’s mission statement is:"Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced iPad 2 which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices."The vision statement clearly defines the company’s long term goals. Apple is committed to bring the best computing and learning experiences through continuous research and new product innovations. This would enable them to launch new products for the target customers and at the same time they aim to produce high quality service thus setting high industry standards for competitors.The objectives of Apple Inc are: To expand their sales to customers who have not yet own any Apple’s products. To produce hassle free products that provides service and enjoyment for customers. Become the leading business in the mobile market. Conduct an internal analysis of the company and discuss how the company is aligned strategically with its objectives. What do you view as the key factors that contribute to the company’s position in the market and to its success?Internal analysis of the company and its alignment with the objectives:The company started off as Apple Computers and became one of the strongest brands with rapid growth and high profit. However, Apple almost went bankrupt in 1996. Then the company started off again with the name “Apple Inc”. Innovation and technologically sophisticated non PC products in 2000’s became the name of the firm. Apple became the fourth largest PC vendor in US market with an 8% share in 2009. Through multi million dollar marketing campaigns such as the successful “Think Different” ads and catch slogans, Apple promoted itself as an alternative to other computer brands. The goal of Apple is to differentiate itself and its product amidst intense competition in the industry.  Apple has achieved this position due to various reasons: Brand name Innovation Customer loyalty The cause was innovative product, combined with user friendly, all encompassing services provide an edge to the company. A clever combination of hardware and integrated software Apple has been able to create a competitive advantage for itself through customer loyalty.Conduct a SWOT analysis for the company and discuss the implications on its business. Include a macro Pestle assessment and relate this to the SWOT. SWOT Analysis:SWOT stands for Strengths, Weakness, Threat and Opportunities. Managers create a quick overview of company’s strategic situation. This technique facilitates a sound fit between firm’s internal resources and its external situation.Strengths: Strong brand image Robust financial performance Focus on research and development Pioneer of innovative and high tech quality products Retail stores providing eye catching products and experience of Apple’s software Strong presence in education segment Visionary and charismatic CEO Customer loyalty Weakness: Product recalls Patent infringement Lower market share and higher price as compared to competitor’s Zero dividend policy Opportunities: Good relationships with joint ventures International expansion Increasing demand of online music and other applications Emerging market of “Green” and energy efficient products Rising consumerism Threats: Intense competition Uncertain global economic conditions Declining PC sales Dependence on specific suppliers High product substitution effect in the innovative and competitive technology market Incompatibility with the windows platform PESTEL analysis on Apple Inc:In determining the macro environment, it is important to identify factors that influence the fir’s cost structure, demand and supply chain. It is a framework that defines the trend of market, business position, potential and directions for operations.Political factors:Political factors play a very important role in defining the firm’s direction and mode of operations. Apple’s business operations are executed globally hence the political situations of all these nations create the sense of direction for the firm. Firm’s tax rate and profitability can be negatively affected if the legislation has announced policies detrimental to firm’s health. Correction in international trade regulations, actions of pressure groups have an impact on company’s business. Again changes in government policies in other countries can delay or destroy products manufacturing and logistics services. Issues beyond the control of the company such as war against terrorism, geo political uncertainties, public health issues and sanctions on different countries etc may affect the firm’s condition adversely. All these events can damage or destroy product manufacturing and pricing.Economic factors:Economic factors are the factors that relate to the economic situations affecting the company and its business. With the effects of recession the firm’s growth and operations have shrunk. Apple’s operation and performance are under a risk that sales and profit, both shall be adversely affected in the new financial period. Due to recession USA is going through all time high unemployment rates at 9.7%. this shrinks the buying capacity of the customer which in turn affects the sales of the firm. Again Apple Inc surmises that final consumer might decrease their disposable income on products which do not constitute the regular consumer’s basket. Foreign exchange rates too have the power to adversely or positively affect the firm’s profit. Increase in cost due to an increase in price of oil, fuel, real estate, mortgage market, labour and health care costs, access to credit – all affect the firm’s growth and profitability by a change in sales volume and costs.Social factors:Environmental protection and Health & safety are becoming major concerns in countries where Apple operates. Apple today operates in 94 countries through direct retail stores, online stores and resellers. Requirement of safe disposal and recycling products would be a near danger in the company. Again factors such as improper use of iPod may lead to loss of hearing power. Thus arousal of such factors in the people can create difficulties for the firm.Technology factors:Associated with heavy technological changes and competition is the face of the industry in which Apple operates. Company is under strict pressure to spend money on the R& D section of the firm. Since many other competing firms usually copy the Apple’s product, hence the company has to spend more in the R&D expenses to outperform them.Environmental factors:Apple is closely associated with the environment it operates in. the environmental factor entails dynamic nature of the industry because of the change in the technological front of the countries.Legal factors:Strong disclosures and stringent rules relating to the firm’s accounting policy and requirement in relation to the firm’s operating scenario often poses problems that the firm has to comply with.As revealed from the company’s position there lies numerous opportunities and along with are perils due to which the company’s future performance can be affected. Since Apple is the firm that is technologically based and differentiation is strength, so the firm has innumerable opportunity to excel in the industry. However, the firm is prone to many challenges and threats from external sources. Hence, Apple is more conducive to success in future if the company works in a unified direction and sense.What do you view as the strategic uncertainties for the firm?However the strategic uncertainties of the firm may be the following: Death of Steve Jobs may lead to strategic uncertainties that would change course of the company. Technologically, the change may be the one that cannot be incorporated with the firm’s future course of action. Highly priced products cannot be in the reach of everyone, especially in the case of recovery phase of recession.   What are the major considerations for this company’s market analysis and why?The major considerations for market analysis shall be the analysis of the SWOT & PESTEL. With such tools the market analysis shall study the attractiveness and the dynamics of a market within the industry. In turn, this shall lead to global environment analysis. This in turn would ensure documented investigation of the market that shall design the planning activities and help in taking sound decisions of inventory, purchase, work force recruitment, capital equipment acquisition and many other important aspects of the company decisions.What do you think of the company’s segmentation strategy? What are the needs/unmet needs of its target customer segment(s) and how is the company addressing these needs?The astounding rise in sales, revenue and profit of the firm is attributed to the segmentation strategy. Segmentation strategy is the one that influences the pricing decision of the firm. The firm because of its successful segmentation strategy has been able to amass huge quantum of cash, earns more than two thirds of the profit in the smart phone industry, earns more than 50% of the profit in PC industry and has been ranked the number one company in U.S. the conventional form of segmentation has been abandoned by the firm of segmenting itself horizontally. Rather it has segmented itself vertically. This vertical segmentation implies creating one product for a particular use case i.e. an iPad for reading, an iPod for listening and an iPhone for applications. The other principle of Apple while segmentation, is to sell them at the right price only for the most profitable market segments. Apple in its process of segmenting the market has also identified segments that are willing to pay more for the specifics like, user experience, quality and seamless integration. The primary focus of Apple is to provide quality goods for those who can pay more for it. What actually Apple aims at is targeting a specific market and overtaking it with quality.The company’s unmet need is to provide goods at a competitive price which every section of the common strata can purchase. However the company has never hired any organization or agency to do the research work. On the contrary the firm has been the most innovative companies by being forward looking. By being forward looking the firm basically is adept at seeing under the surface of customers need now. Customers on the other hand do not realize this need till they see and experience the product. This ability of the firm can be best described by the term “zeitgeist”. This German term refers to the emerging spirit of the age or mood of the moment. As for Apple, it foresees the demand that the market along with the customers are unaware of.Discuss the company’s competitive landscape. Who are the company’s direct and most formidable competitors? Discuss the company’s differentiation and competitive advantage.Because of immense diversity in the product range, Apple has many competitors in the game. In the case of PC Apple has rivals such as Dell, Alienware, Gateway, etc. Even Microsoft shall be a rival to their Operating System. In terms of online media Napster and other legal music download sites such as Hotmail, Gmail, Nokia, Samsung, and Blackberry etc compete with apple. Again, in terms of server market HP, Sun, SGI and IBM with regards to High Performance Computing, Web serving, Centralized Storage are competitors too of Apple. Since Apple does networking the airport lines, so, Cisco, Netgar etc are competitors too of Apple. Hence it seems that Apple has diversified in a manner which has yielded in too much of customers from all segments.The functioning of Apple reveals that the firm keeps on rediscovering itself in the market. This in turn helps the company to keep itself alive in the consumer’s mind. Next the company caters for a particular group which is affluent in its purchase and can pay on the specifics and features of the product. This makes the firm and its offering quite different from the rivals along with being in the same industry.The firm leverages its unique brand name in order to position itself in the market. When the market is so technologically dependent and is dynamic in nature the company’s huge spending on the R&D provides the firm a competitive advantage in the industry. The main use of this spending is to create brands and products that are still not discovered in the market and even the consumers are unaware of. What helps the firm in this case is the customer’s loyalty and patronage that encourages the firm to keep on discovering and offering valuable products.All these factors however are not solely responsible for the firm’s competitive advantage. The brand name that the firm has earned in years despite facing tough times is the result of the quality consciousness. The firm strongly adheres to quality and aims at producing and offering goods that are superior in terms of quality. Apple has a history of never compromising with this quality aspect in the products. Apple is extremely quality conscious and does not bother cost to be a factor while producing a good.However what applies to Apple as a firm is not necessary the trump card of other companies too. At times playing in the same industry the firms may have different mind set to compete and hence different tools to increase performance. What Apple today is in the market is the reverse of what other companies do. Apple basically keeps on challenging the age old traditional rules of marketing and competition. But doing the same thing by other companies might not work wonders for others. Others might incur losses. Hence every company has its individual set of strengths, limitations and resources, which when put to maximum use efficiently is bound to give optimum results. References:Smith.
