Apple Inc Objectives and Strategies Standard Brandon Burnette 6212015 Apple Inc Objectives and Strategies When a company has established its marketing mix and began to understand its plan for the four Ps product place price and promotion It must then incorporate objectives and strategies for what the company aims to do and how it will reach its goals Apple Inc a market leader in the technology market is great at marketing and branding their products but it does not come easy Its all about your action plan for meeting and accomplishing your objectives Product Apple offers premium products at premium prices while still maintaining large market share and high profit margins Objective 1 Continue to create groundbreaking products Apple has made a name for itself becoming a trend setter in the market with every one of their products introducing something new and exciting to the world Strategy To create groundbreaking products Apple will need to have a great team building culture along with a strong research and development team Too they will have to operate with a sense of no complacency and not let current success limit future potential Objective 2 Innovate and dictate the movement for future technology Technology is forever changing and even the biggest companies can get left behind The consumer will always buy the next big thing and brand loyalty is hard to come by This is why Apple must continue to lead the serge of the innovative world Strategy To continue success of having the best products Apple must study the market to understand what consumers want next while improving their current products from listening to customer feedback Place You can find an Apple product in most areas of the world and that is certainly the overall goal for global business However where there is product demand there must be supply Objective 1 Expand nationwide chain of Apple stores globally The Apple store accounts for the majority of the companys sells Therefore there must be more stores to increase sells substantially Strategy Begin placing stores in all large markets and expand outward based on population and demand of products Objective 2 Make products available in every other possible retail channel ex Online Big Box retailer Even though the Apple store leads in sells Apple must make sure its products are accessible to every consumer since their demand is so high Strategy Place products in every retail store that carries electronic devices all ecommerce web sites and make sure mobile devices are featured on every large mobile carrier Price With every premium branded product there will come a premium price Its to be expected that the big name brands that present superior quality will bring the highest price Objective 1 Enter and sustain premium pricing while attempting to gain market share As long as their products are cutting edge consumers will have no problem paying more for them Its important this trade off does not subside in order for the premium pricing to be sustained StrategyStrategically price all products at the top of the market base price relying on brand and quality to offset the price differential Objective 2 Increase profit margins Even with a high or low share of the market its your margins that make or break you Apple has great margins but a low market share across the board due to competitors low price points Strategy Continue push to lower cost to make products while sustaining the same retail price in the market Promotion Building a brand may be the toughest challenge in all of business To start at absolutely nothing and build something that persuades millions of consumers to buy your products Success like this is not built without excellent marketing and promotion strategies which Apple has certainly demonstrated they have Objective 1 Build hype and anticipation for new upcoming products No better promotion than getting consumers to anticipate your next release Every great products next version will always do great despite its functionality based solely on the anticipation from its previous version Ex If you liked the iPhone 5 why would you not like the 5S with newly added features and design Strategy Use annual conference and events to announce release and information on each new product before it hits the market This allows the consumer to build a demand for the product before it ever hits the shelf Objective 2 Sustain and expand on strongly branded name There is no bigger name in the tech world and it can only get bigger as we go Apple has changed the way we look at phones and tablets Who says the word tablet anymore most associate the device with iPad Strategy Be a trend setter enter new product markets before competition and deliver current products at an unreachable standard of quality If they continue to set trends enter new product lines and take their share of the market they will not only build their brand they will dominate the competition Works Cited Hangen

Hunger for tomatoes turns Canada into greenhouse superpower presented by TD Its a burgeoning empire under glass Canadian farmers now earn more from greenhouse vegetables than from eggs or potatoes But storm clouds are casting a shadow Story by Peter Kuitenbrouwer with photos and video by Laura Pedersen Kingsville Ont The test greenhouse of Mastronardi Produce Ltd part of the familys 25hectare crystal palace in this lush farm belt near Windsor counts 500 varieties of tomato No matter how you slice it thats a lot of tomato species The other day Paul Mastronardi led a walk through the grape tomato section of the sprawling spotless greenhouse where a jungle of vines reaches to the airportscale ceiling He picked a miniKumato a brown cherry tomato that he then polished on his spotless white Tshirt and popped into his mouth Im all about flavour he said adding I bet I eat 20000 tomatoes a year Mastronardi is the biggest player in Canadas booming greenhouse vegetable industry but the family has plenty of company The Leamington area along the north shore of Lake Erie houses the greatest concentration of vegetable greenhouses in North America an empire under glass Shoppers routinely buy produce from California Florida and Mexico especially in winter Yet veggies increasingly flow the other way too Ideal conditions a temperate climate innovative growers and proximity to the biggest markets in North America have caused this industry to explode The value of Canadas greenhouse produce crop more than doubled to 13 billion last year from 600 million in 2001 and now eclipses eggs potatoes or Durum wheat From Ontario alone every day about 200 refrigerated transport trucks loaded with greenhouse tomatoes peppers and cucumbers cross the border headed to New York Boston and as far away as Florida But its an industry that has dark clouds looming over it The greenhouses heated with natural gas already struggle with increased fuel prices under Ontarios capandtrade carbon program Electricity rate hikes have also taken a toll Now the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers says Ontarios plan to raise the minimum wage to 15 will increase its labour costs by 35 per cent There is talk of greenhouses closing or relocating We are pretty upset about what has been announced said George Gilvesy chairman of the vegetable growers You can not plan with these type of changes On the plus side Canadians consume more ketchup per capita than anywhere else And what does ketchup need most A whole bunch of tomatoes Paul Mastronardi is CEO and president of greenhouse giant Mastronardi Produce Ltd headquartered in Kingsville Ont Mastronardi calls himself a modern farmer A rmando Mastronardi Pauls greatgrandfather emigrated in the 1940s from Italy as a grower he sensibly picked the countrys southernmost spot His son Umberto went to the Netherlands and brought Dutch greenhouse technology to Canada In the early eighties we got out of the dirt Mastronardi said Mastronardi Produce owned by Paul and his sister Marne Safrance also owns greenhouses in Colorado and Maine recently opened a 100acre greenhouse in Coldwater Mich and owns distribution businesses in California Florida and Texas Twothirds of its 2000 employees are stateside Mastronardi said he travels about 150 days of the year The day after he met the Financial Post he flew to a marketing conference in San Antonio Tex Mastronardi is 43 but looks about 25 Perhaps his smooth skin comes from his tomatoheavy diet On a table in the test greenhouse sit glass bowls with dozens of cherry tomatoes in a spectrum of hues with names such as Rorange Crunch Flavor Bombs and Purple Strawberry I was a DJ growing up he said I went to Western University for physics and ended up sommeliering tomatoes Mastronardi offers a yellow cherry tomato It tastes lemony The farm plans to launch this tomato not yet named at a produce marketing convention in October We were using typical North American varieties he said When I came in I made it more of a research program Flavour is repeat sales Yellow cherry tomatoes at the Sunset greenhouses of Mastronardi Produce He pops a trial cherry tomato into his mouth The flavour is good I look at the flavour experience of crunching it and whether the skin dissolves in your mouth No one likes skin stuck between their teeth like a popcorn kernel A bumblebee lands on a reporters notepad The bees among the greenhouses hardest workers buzz around all day pollinating the flowers Is Mastronardi a farmer He grows vegetables but does not get his hands dirty Nobody does To enter the Mastronardi test greenhouse you walk over red brushes that scrub your shoe soles and then put on plastic booties Fittingly you also wear a lab coat The tomato vines grow out of what look like oversized bricks but are blocks of rockwool similar to fiberglass insulation on shelves at waist height A white tube runs to each vine that fertigates the word is a hybrid of fertilize and irrigate the plant with a concoction comprising of water potassium nitrate calcium nitrate iron and other nutrients Workers use plastic clips to attach the vines to strings hanging from the roof I am a modern farmer Mastronardi said Many of the innovations here come from the Netherlands For example hot water runs through twin pipes on the ground to heat the greenhouses and the pipes double as train tracks for pickingpruning carts Rather than spray pesticides staff here release predatory mites to eat thrips and aphids Edwin Pascal picks ripe cherry tomatoes at the 55acre Mastronardi Sunset greenhouse in Kingsville Ont The tomatoes are grown in such a way to allow workers to always pick the fruit at waist height Workers many of the temporary foreign kind tap a card on a reader and type a code for each job they perform tying up vines picking fruit tearing off excess leaves Managers traverse the vast greenhouses by bicycle DutchCanadians have made similar innovations in BC where Cornelius Houwelings began farming in 1956 in Langley Today the Houwelings family owns 50 acres of greenhouses in BC 28 acres in Idaho and 125 acres in California When Casey Houwelings first brought the business to California people were really wondering what this guy from Canada was doing building these structures in the fields said David Bell chief marketing officer for Houwelings in Delta BC By the numbers 13 billion Value of Canadas greenhouse produce industry One acre Of greenhouse yields 10 times the tomatoes as an acre of field 75 Hybrids being tested to create a Canada branded tomato It didnt make a lot of sense to them But greenhouses make a lot of sense Our 125 acres would produce as much in kilos as 3000 acres of field vegetables Despite the yield gains not everyone loves this growing technique Nathan Augustine a graduate of Niagara College waits tables at Vernons Tap Grill in Kingsville he does not want to work in a greenhouse Its not the kind of farming he prefers Its all science its like a lab he said You have to clean up before you go in It uses up some of Canadas richest farmland and they dont even use the soil They cover it in plastic He adds that while he respects greenhouses because they maximize yield and create jobs Nothing beats biting into a vineripened field tomato T Through history farmers have turned over soil to grow crops and some still believe that food whose roots grow in insulation and are fertigated from a tube just arent as good But opinions and techniques are changing Vineland Research and Innovation Centre is a cluster of brick buildings surrounded by huge heritage trees in Ontarios Niagara Peninsula Moses Rittenhouse a local boy made his fortune in the lumber business in Chicago in the 19th century and later donated about 80 hectares to found what was then known as the Ontario Horticultural Experimental Station The centre has testgrown lots of stuff in its verdant soil experimenting with pears apples grapes and more recently sweet potatoes But Vineland has also spent 10 million to build a oneacre test greenhouse which opened last year Growing local food in the soil is a limited opportunity for food sovereignty in Canada said Jim Brandle Vinelands chief executive Greenhouse food is safer Plus during the winter you are not bringing things 2000 miles to Canadas dinner tables But many say greenhouse tomatoes can not trump fieldripened fruit in one key area flavour Vineland wants to change that One of the criticisms of greenhousegrown tomatoes is that they can come up short in the taste department compared with vegetables from the field Most greenhouses in Canada grow tomatoes from Dutch hybrid seeds Five years ago Vineland began Ontarios first greenhouse tomato breeding program The 10year goal to produce a Canadian TOV or tomato on the vine that has high yield and good flavour There are some tomatoes out there that are absolutely delicious said David Liscombe a Vineland biochemist You harvest them from your garden Old heirloom varieties But the yields are very low They crack they ripen too fast they get mouldy and arent disease resistant Valerio Primomo a vegetable breeder five years ago began crosspollinating commercial and heirloom tomato plants one with high yield the other with good flavour This year he planted 75 hybrids in the greenhouse Wearing protective white overalls Primomo walks through the greenhouse past countless clusters of ripe red tomatoes that any gardener would be proud to call her own But he views his babies with a critical eye On one cluster some tomatoes are red and others still yellow Some tomato stems are too long so that the cluster is not compact Some have inconsistent fruit size This is the exciting part here said Primomo 47 because this is the final test of our hybrids Everyone is pumped up right now about these varieties Everything looks great Remember we only need one winner out of these Valerio Primomo is a research scientist at the research greenhouse at the Vineland Research Innovation Centre in Vineland Station in the Niagara Peninsula Primomo aims by 2020 to create a tomato on the vine variety that tastes better and is better suited to the Canadian climate Meghan Beattie a research technician wearing a singlet to survive the greenhouse heat walks the row pushing a cart She has a pair of pruners scale clipboard and pink iPad She clips clusters of tomatoes weighs them and inputs the data This year Vineland will harvest seeds from the top five varieties and get them to greenhouses for test plantings next season If they see even a onepercent increase in yield its enough for them to get excited about Primomo said Does he have a name for his new supertomato Not til we have something Give it three or four more years Excitement about the new variety aside Gilvesy remains concerned about the future of Canadas greenhouse vegetable industry as prices for labour and electricity keep rising at home Our growth rate has been phenomenal he said We have neighbouring jurisdictions Michigan and Ohio who are trying to court our members Its not a matter of are we going to build new greenhouses Its a matter of where Financial

Home Globalization History of Globalization History of Globalization Overall Rating 4 5 Total Votes 24 Rate this page 1 2 3 4 5 Globalization is mainly a socioeconomic term which is nowadays synonymous with the economic development of a country In simple terms it is a continuous process through which different societies economies traditions and culture integrate with each other on a global scale through the means of communication and interchange of ideas By having an idea of the history of globalization one will be able to properly understand the causes which led to such social and economic change Alexander the Great forges eastward link with Chandragupta Maurya for overland routes between the Mediterranean Persia India and Central Asia During the 1st century CE the transworld trade makes its first major appearance in China under the Han dynasty and successfully established trade relations with Asian and European countries The period from 650850 AD records the expansion of Islam and trade relations with the west Mediterranean region with the Indian subcontinent The Rise of Genghis Khan during 1100 AD gave rise to the integration of overland routes across Eurasia The 1650s marks the expansion of the slave trade and it Early history of globalization According to most scholars and researchers it is the modern age which led to the origin of globalization In this age wide spread development took place in the field of infrastructure and connectivity This led to more interaction between the nations and sharing of ideas culture and tradition took place All these put a direct impact on the process of globalization In the economic scenario more trade links started taking place between countries on a global scale which influenced global as well as domestic economies to a great extent However there are some scholars who point out that the origins of the history of globalization can be traced back to the ancient civilizations Scholars who advocate this theory say that the example of the earliest forms of globalization is the trade links between the Sumerian civilization and the Indus Valley Civilization in third millennium BC In fact after this age there are numerous instances where trade links were established between various countries like India Egypt Greece and Roman Empire and so on There were regular business links between the Parthian Empire Roman Empire and Han Dynasty The popularity of Globalization in the medieval age The Islamic period in the medieval era is an important epoch in the history of globalization This was when the Jewish and the Muslim traders started going to various parts of the world to sell various items This led to a blend of ideas traditions and customs In China the first postal service was introduced and paper was invented This led to better knowledge sharing As more and more people started traveling to various countries across the world it led to more communication between people and intermingling of languages Explorers like Columbus and Vasco Da Gama sailed through the oceans in search of new countries and establish trade links with them or to make other countries their colonies All these factors were a major cause for the development of the preglobalization era The medieval period was the age of discovery It was in this period that Africa and Eurasia engaged in cultural and economic exchange between them Gradually this led to the growth of colonies in various parts of Africa Asia and Latin America As a result there was constant blend of the ideas languages rituals and customs between the natives and the foreign inhabitants In fact this system of colonization put a deep impact on agriculture trade ecology and culture on a global scale Globalization between the pre modern periods to modern period The industrial revolution in the 19th century was one of the major periods in the history of globalization Due to the industrial revolution there was a significant increase in the quantity and quality of the products This led to higher exports and better trade and business relations Due to better products and colonization lots of countries across the world became the consumers of the European market The phase of pre globalization perhaps came to an end after the First World War was fought The war put a significant adverse effect on the economic scenario and it led to the Great Depression and gold standard crisis in the later part of the 1920s and early 1930s Globalization in the modern era Globalization in the modern sense of the term came into existence after the Second World War One of the main factors for this was the plan by the world leaders to break down the borders for fostering trade relations between nations It was also in this period that major countries like India Sri Lanka Indonesia and some countries in South America gained independence As a result these countries too started having their own economic systems and made established trade relations with the rest of the world The establishment of the United Nations Organization UNO was also a major step in Gradually the economic scenario of the world strengthened and it led to better trade relations and communication Some other factors which have put a positive impact on globalization are Promotion of free commerce and trade Abolition of various double taxes tariffs and capital controls Reduction of transport cost and development of infrastructure Creation of global corporations Blend of culture and tradition across the countries Another milestone in the history of globalization is the creation of the World Trade Organization which led to the growth of a uniform platform to settle trade and commercial disputes According to economic surveys the world exports improved significantly from 85 to around 162 due to globalization India and globalization The wake of globalization was first felt in the 1990s in India when the then finance minister Dr Manmohan Singh initiated the economic liberalization plan Since then India has gradually become one of the economic giants in the world Today it has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world with an average growth rate of around 67 There has also been a significant rise in the per capita income and the standard of living Poverty has also reduced by around 10 The service industry has a share of around 54 of the annual Gross Domestic Product while the industrial and agricultural sectors share around 29 and 17 respectively Due to the process of globalization the exports have also improved significantly Globalization has really out a positive impact on todays economy and it is expected to develop in the years to come Corporate Globalization Foreign Trade Last Updated on

sender or the communicator is the person who initiates the conversation and has conceptualized the idea that he intends to convey it to others Encoding The sender begins with the encoding process wherein he uses certain words or nonverbal methods such as symbols signs body gestures etc to translate the information into a message The senders knowledge skills perception background competencies etc has a great impact on the success of the message Message Once the encoding is finished the sender gets the message that he intends to convey The message can be written oral symbolic or nonverbal such as body gestures silence sighs sounds etc or any other signal that triggers the response of a receiver Communication Channel The Sender chooses the medium through which he wants to convey his message to the recipient It must be selected carefully in order to make the message effective and correctly interpreted by the recipient The choice of medium depends on the interpersonal relationships between the sender and the receiver and also on the urgency of the message being sent Oral virtual written sound gesture etc are some of the commonly used communication mediums Receiver The receiver is the person for whom the message is intended or targeted He tries to comprehend it in the best possible manner such that the communication objective is attained The degree to which the receiver decodes the message depends on his knowledge of the subject matter experience trust and relationship with the sender Decoding Here the receiver interprets the senders message and tries to understand it in the best possible manner An effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the message in exactly the same way as it was intended by the sender Feedback The Feedback is the final step of the process that ensures the receiver has received the message and interpreted it correctly as it was intended by the sender It increases the effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to know the efficacy of his message The response of the receiver can be verbal or nonverbal Note The Noise shows the barriers in communications There are chances when the message sent by the sender is not received by the recipient 17 Comments Ishwor chandra chaudhary June 13 2017 at 1049 pm Reply I would heartly like to thank to the service provider the given content is very

Revealed The UKs Leading 50 TMCs 1 comment Matthew Parsons Wed 2 May 2018 1006 Follow matt_parsons With UK business travel gross sales of 1227m in 2017 Carlson Wagonlit Travel has again been ranked number one in Buying Business Travels guide to the top travel management companies in the UK click here to see the full listings Under the leadership of Johan Wilson vicepresident and country director UK Ireland CWT has more than 1000 emplyees located in the UK At second and third places respectively were American Express Global Business Travel with an estimated 1039m in UK sales last year and HRG estimated sales of 1005m As the two companies weigh up their proposed merger these positions mark a reversal on last years positions Cause for concern Each year we ask TMCs in our survey about their biggest concerns for the year ahead Concerns about direct booking with suppliers and the effect of the introduction of IATAs NDC are clearly keeping TMC bosses awake at night With more TMCs implementing NDCcapable booking tools and GDSs beginning to look at wider adoption this is likely to continue Increased competition is also an issue Onethird of TMCs replied to say they are worried about undercutting by rivals and low margins TMCs continue to be concerned about recruiting skilled staff Some are growing academy programmes to develop staff skills as a result Targets for the future The annual survey also quizzes TMCs on their outlook for the year ahead Last year one in nine expected growth of 5 per cent or less this year that figure has dropped to one in twelve Twothirds of TMCs expect this growth to come from new customers Many are hoping clients will spend more on business travel in 2018 while some believe growth will come from selling extra products and services to existing clients Almost every TMC we surveyed said winning new business was a priority However threequarters of those asked also said they were focused on improving their product and service offerings during the year A significant number said they were looking at winning new business in areas outside transient business travel such as meetings events and executive leisure We again asked our respondents on what fee basis they charged clients Every TMC in our survey charges some of its clients on a transaction fee basis and the proportion of all transactions for all TMCs that answered this question stands at 911 per cent Half of respondents said they were remunerated on a management fee basis on some of their business down from threequarters of TMCs that worked in this way in 2016 Mergers and acquisitions Reflecting the general state of the market onethird of TMCs responding to this question said they were looking at mergers and acquisitions the highest proportion in the history of this survey In May last year US agency Travel and Transport purchased Statesman Travel continuing its European expansion and creating a group with global sales of US35 billion and 1600 employees The same month Capita Travel and Events added NYS Corporate to the long list of acquisitions it has made in previous years Travel Leaders Group had a busy year buying luxury specialist Colletts Travel in February before merging with Altour International in the summer As the year came to a close Gray Dawes continued on its own acquisition streak by snapping up CTM How the survey is compiled The annual BBT ranking of 50 Leading TMCs is compiled from information supplied from TMCs during a twomonth period in March and April each year The information is gathered through a comprehensive questionnaire that we review each year for its relevance The survey includes questions on financial performance and transactions and we are very grateful to TMCs for providing the information that is vital for creating this ranking Some TMCs are unwilling to supply us answers to every question for this supplement including the key financial statistics that we use to rank TMCs A few years ago we took the decision to include all of the major TMCs in this ranking regardless of whether they supplied the necessary information This means that for a small handful of TMCs we have to make estimates of certain key figures notably the gross sales figure rather like the compilers of The Sunday Times Rich List do Where the figures are estimates these are clearly marked We make these estimates as rigorous as possible This involves looking at Companies House accounts analysing air spend figures from IATAs Billing and Settlement Plan and taking note of public statements about changes in client spend and turnover Tags Top 50 TMCs BBT Comments Travel Leaders Seems strange that Travel Leaders Group UK have jumped to 8th position when last year the business travel gross sales listed in BBT for all the UK companies that now make up the group totalled 2077 million plus Colletts which was not listed Have they won new sales of over 300 million in the UK over the last year or have Barrhead Travel leisure sales been erroneously included in the total NeilR not verified Wednesday May 2 2018 1610 reply Add new comment

Pontoon Makeover How to Update a Pontoon Boat Heres a stepbystep guide on how to breathe new life into your boat by refurbishing the deck furniture Written by John Tiger Many cabin owners do a lot if not most of the work themselves when it comes to maintaining or renovating their living space If youre that handy why not apply your DIY skills and determination to refurbishing a boat Plenty have done so especially when it comes to pontoon boats Typically built from aluminum frame and pontoons with a wood deck pontoon boats lend themselves easily to restoration because theres usually no complicated and difficult fiberglass work involved Also replacement furniture specialists have become commonplace in the past five years or so Finally most of the work can be done right there on the boat outside in decent weather as opposed to needing to perform the work inside a workshop A topsides makeover Many older pontoons are structurally sound but in need of a refresh on the topsides That
