苹果公司全方位介绍 英文
Introduction of Apple Inc.
1. Company profile
Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) is an American multinational corporation that designs and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. The company's best-known hardware products are the Macintosh line of computers, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad (Apple calls its computers Macintoshes or Macs, and it calls its laptops MacBooks. Their popular line of mobile music players are called iPods and a smart phone they have released is called the iPhone.). Its software includes the OS X and iOS operating system; the iTunes media browser; and the iLife and iWork creativity and production suites. Apple is the world's third-largest mobile phone maker after Samsung and Nokia. Established on April 1, 1976 in Cupertino, California, and incorporated January 3, 1977, the company was named Apple Computer, Inc. for its first 30 years. The word "Computer" was removed from its name on January 9, 2007, as its traditional focus on personal computers shifted towards consumer electronics.
As of July 2011, Apple has 364 retail stores in thirteen countries as well as the online Apple Store and iTunes Store. It is the largest publicly-traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of US$626 billion as of September 2012. The Apple market cap is larger than that of Google and Microsoft combined. As of September 24, 2011, the company had 60,400 permanent full-time employees and 2,900 temporary full-time employees worldwide; its worldwide annual revenue in 2010 totaled $65 billion, growing to $108 billion in 2011.
Fortune magazine named Apple the most admired company in the United States in 2008, and in the world from 2008 to 2012. However, the company has received widespread criticism for its contractors' labor practices, and for Apple's own environmental and business practices. Apple topped list of the World's Most Powerful Brands on October 2, 2012.
2. Current products
2.1 iPad
On January 27, 2010, Apple introduced their much-anticipated media tablet, the iPad running a modified version of iOS. It offers multi-touch interaction with multimedia formats including newspapers, magazines, ebooks, textbooks, photos, movies, TV shows videos, music, word processing documents, spreadsheets, video games, and most existing iPhone apps. It also includes a mobile version of Safari for web browsing, as well as access to the App Store, iTunes Library, iBookstore,
contacts, and notepad. Content is downloadable via Wi-Fi and optional 3G service or synced through the user's computer. AT&T was initially the sole US provider of 3G wireless access for the iPad.
On March 2, 2011, Apple introduced an updated iPad model which had a faster processor and two cameras on the front and back respectively. The iPad 2 also added support for optional 3G service provided by Verizon in addition to the existing offering by AT&T. However, the availability of the iPad 2 has been limited as a result of the devastating earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan in March 2011.
On March 7, 2012, Apple introduced the third generation iPad (dubbed "the new iPad" by Apple). The third-generation iPad added LTE service from AT&T or Verizon and an upgraded processor, the A5X. It also added the Retina display (2048 by 1536 resolution), originally implemented on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The dimensions and form factor remained relatively unchanged, with the new iPad being a fraction thicker and heavier than the previous version, and minor positioning changes.
Since the tablet launched in 2010, iPad users have downloaded 3 billion apps, while the total App Store downloads is up to over 25 billion downloads.
2.2 iPod
The current iPod family, featuring the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, and iPod Touch
On October 23, 2001, Apple introduced the iPod digital music player. It has evolved to include various models targeting the wants of different users. The iPod is the market leader in portable music players by a significant margin, with more than 220 million units shipped as of September 2009[update]. Apple has partnered with Nike to offer the Nike+iPod Sports Kit enabling runners to synchronize and monitor their runs with iTunes and the Nike+ website. Apple currently sells four variants of the iPod.
?iPod Shuffle, ultraportable digital audio player first introduced in 2005, currently available in a 2 GB model.
?iPod Nano, portable media player first introduced in 2005, currently available in 8 and 16 GB models. The latest generation has a FM radio, a pedometer,
and a new multi-touch interface that replaced the traditional iPod click wheel.
?iPod Classic (previously named iPod from 2001 to 2007), portable media player first introduced in 2001, currently available in a 160 GB model.
?iPod Touch, portable media player that runs iOS, first introduced in September 2007 after the iPhone went on sale. Currently available in 8, 32, and 64 GB
models. The latest generation features the Apple A4 processor, a Retina
Display, and dual cameras on the front and back. The back camera allows for
HD video recording at 720p.
2.3 iPhone
On October 4, 2011, Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S, which was released in the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Japan on October 14, 2011, with other countries set to follow later in the year. This was the first iPhone model to feature the Apple A5 chip, as well as the first offered on the Sprint network (joining AT&T and Verizon Wireless as the United States carriers offering iPhone models). On October 19, 2011, Apple announced an agreement with C Spire Wireless to sell the iPhone 4S with that carrier in the near future, marking the first time the iPhone was officially supported on a regional carrier's network.
Another notable feature of the iPhone 4S was Siri voice assistant technology, which Apple had acquired in 2010, as well as other features, including an updated 8 megapixel camera with new optics. Apple sold 4 million iPhone 4S phones in the first three days after its release, which made it not only the best iPhone launch in Apple's history, but the most successful launch of any mobile phone ever. On Wednesday September 12, 2012, Apple's sixth edition iPhone, the iPhone 5 was announced. It featured a bigger screen, 4G LTE connectivity, and a new Apple A6 chip among many other improvements. Apple sold two million iPhone's in the first twenty four hours of pre ordering.
2.4 Apple TV
At the 2007 Macworld conference, Jobs demonstrated the Apple TV, (previously known as the iTV), a set-top video device intended to bridge the sale of content from iTunes with high-definition televisions. The device links up to a user's TV and syncs, either via Wi-Fi or a wired network, with one computer's iTunes library and streams from an additional four. The Apple TV originally incorporated a 40 GB hard drive for storage, includes outputs for HDMI and component video, and plays video at a maximum resolution of 720p. On May 31, 2007 a 160 GB drive was released alongside the existing 40 GB model and on January 15, 2008 a software update was released, which allowed media to be purchased directly from the Apple TV. In September 2009, Apple discontinued the original 40 GB Apple TV and now continues to produce and sell the 160 GB Apple TV. On September 1, 2010, alongside the release of the new line of iPod devices for the year, Apple released a completely redesigned Apple TV. The new device is 1/4 the size, runs quieter, and replaces the need for a hard drive with media streaming from any iTunes library on the network along with 8 GB of flash memory to cache media downloaded. Apple with the Apple TV has added another device to its portfolio that runs on its A4 processor along with the iPad and the iPhone. The memory included in the device is the half of the iPhone
4 at 256 MB; the same as the iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G, and iPod touch 4G. It has HDMI out as the only video out source. Features include access to the iTunes Store to rent movies and TV shows (purchasing has been discontinued), streaming from internet video sources, including YouTube and Netflix, and media streaming from an iTunes library. Apple also reduced the price of the device to $99. A third generation of the device was introduced at an Apple event on March 7, 2012, with new features such as higher resolution (1080p) and a new user interface.
3. Marketing
Apple aficionados wait in line around an Apple retail store in anticipation of a new product. This branch is located on Fifth Avenue in New York City, with a glass cube housing a cylindrical elevator and a spiral staircase that lead into the subterranean store.
Apple' brand and brand community. Apple's brand's loyalty is considered unusual for any product. At one time, Apple evangelists were actively engaged by the company, but this was after the phenomenon was already firmly established. Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki has called the brand fanaticism ―something that was stumbled upon‖. Apple has, however, supported the continuing existence of a network of Mac User Groups in most major and many minor centers of population where Mac computers are available.
Mac users would meet at the European Apple Expo and the San Francisco Macworld Conference & Expo trade shows where Apple traditionally introduced new products each year to the industry and public until Apple pulled out of both events. While the conferences continue, Apple does not have official representation there. Mac developers, in turn, continue to gather at the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
Apple Store openings can draw crowds of thousands, with some waiting in line as much as a day before the opening or flying in from other countries for the event. The New York City Fifth Avenue ―Cube‖ store had a line as long as half a mile; a few Mac fans took the opportunity of the setting to propose marriage. The Ginza opening in Tokyo was estimated in the thousands with a line exceeding eight city blocks.
John Sculley told The Guardian newspaper in 1997: ―People talk about technology, but Apple was a marketing company. It was the marketing company of the decade.‖
Research in 2002 by NetRatings indicates that the average Apple consumer was usually more affluent and better educated than other PC company consumers. The research indicated that this correlation could stem from the fact that on average Apple Inc. products are more expensive than other PC products.
3.1 Name
According to Steve Jobs, Apple was so named because Jobs was coming back from an apple farm, and he was on a fruitarian diet. He thought the name was ―fun, spirited and not intimidating‖.
3.2 Logos
The original logo with Isaac Newton under an apple tree
The rainbow ―bitten‖ logo, used from late 1976 to 1998
The monochrome logo, used since 1998
Apple's first logo, designed by Ron Wayne, depicts Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.
Almost immediately, though, this was replaced by Rob Janoff's ―rainbow Apple‖, the now-familiar rainbow-colored silhouette of an apple with a bite taken out of it. Janoff presented Jobs with several different monochromatic themes for the ―bitten‖logo, and Jobs immediately took a liking to it. While Jobs liked the logo, he insisted it be in color to humanize the company. The Apple logo was designed with a bite so that it would not be recognized as another fruit. The colored stripes were conceived to
make the logo more accessible, and to represent the fact the Apple II could generate graphics in color.
This logo is often erroneously referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the bite mark a reference to his method of suicide. Both the designer of the logo and the company deny that there is any homage to Turing in the design of the logo.
In 1998, with the roll-out of the new iMac, Apple discontinued the rainbow theme and began to use monochromatic themes, nearly identical in shape to its previous rainbow incarnation, on various products, packaging and advertising. An Aqua-themed version of the monochrome logo was used from 2001–2003, and a Glass-themed version has been used since 2003.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were Beatles fans, but Apple Inc. had trademark issues with Apple Corps Ltd., a multimedia company started by The Beatles in 1967, involving their name and logo. This resulted in a series of lawsuits and tension between the two companies. These issues ended with settling of their most recent lawsuit in 2007.
3.3 Slogans
Apple's first slogan, ―Byte into an Apple‖, was coined in the late 1970s. From 1997–2002, Apple used the slogan ―Think Different‖in advertising campaigns. Although the slogan has been retired, it is still closely associated with Apple. Apple also has slogans for specific product lines — for example, ―iThink, therefore iMac‖was used in 1998 to promote the iMac, and ―Say hello to iPhone‖ has been used in iPhone advertisements. ―Hello‖was also used to introduce the original Macintosh, Newton, iMac (―hello (again)‖), and iPod.
3.4 Advertising
Since the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984 with the 1984 Super Bowl commercial to the more modern 'Get a Mac' adverts, Apple has been recognized in the past for its efforts towards effective advertising and marketing for its products, though its advertising has been criticized for the claims of some more recent campaigns, particularly 2005 Power Mac ads and iPhone ads in Britain.
Apple's product commercials gained fame for launching musicians into stardom as a result of their eye-popping graphics and catchy tunes. First, the company popularized Canadian singer Feist's ―1234‖song in its ad campaign. Later, Apple used the song ―New Soul― by French-Israeli singer-songwriter Yael Na?m to promote the MacBook Air.The debut single shot to the top of the charts and sold hundreds of thousands of copies in a span of weeks.
4. Corporate affairs
During the Mac's early history Apple generally refused to adopt prevailing industry standards for hardware, instead creating their own. This trend was largely reversed in the late 1990s beginning with Apple's adoption of the PCI bus in the 7500/8500/9500 Power Macs. Apple has since adopted USB, AGP, HyperTransport,Wi-Fi, and other industry standards in its computers and was in some cases a leader in the adoption of standards such as USB. FireWire is an Apple-originated standard that has seen widespread industry adoption after it was standardized as IEEE 1394.
Ever since the first Apple Store opened, Apple has sold third party accessories. For instance, at one point Nikon and Canon digital cameras were sold inside the store. Adobe, one of Apple's oldest software partners, also sells its Mac-compatible software, as does Microsoft, who sells Microsoft Office for the Mac. Books from John Wiley & Sons, who publishes the For Dummies series of instructional books, are a notable exception, however. The publisher's line of books were banned from Apple Stores in 2005 because Steve Jobs disagreed with their decision to publish an unauthorized Jobs biography, iCon.After the launch of the iBookstore, Apple stopped selling physical books, both online and at the Apple Retail Stores.
4.1 Headquarters
Apple Inc.'s world corporate headquarters are located in the middle of Silicon Valley, at 1–6 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California. This Apple campus has six buildings that total 850,000 square feet (79,000 m2) and was built in 1993 by Sobrato Development Cos.
Apple created subsidiaries in low-tax places such as Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the British Virgin Islands to cut the taxes it pays around the world. According to the New York Times, Apple was among the first tech companies to designate overseas salespeople in high-tax countries in a manner that allowed the company to sell on behalf of low-tax subsidiaries on other continents, sidestepping income taxes. Apple was a pioneer of an accounting technique known as the ―Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich,‖ which reduces taxes by routing profits through Irish subsidiaries and the Netherlands and then to the Caribbean.
In 2006, Apple announced its intention to build a second campus on 50 acres (200,000 m2) assembled from various contiguous plots (east of N Wolfe Road between Pruneridge Avenue and Vallco Parkway). Later acquisitions increased this to 175 acres. The new campus, also in Cupertino, will be about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the current campus. The new campus building will be designed by Norman Foster.
On June 7, 2011, Steve Jobs gave a presentation to Cupertino City Council, detailing the architectural design of the new building and its environs. The new campus is planned to house up to 13,000 employees in one central four-storied circular building (with a caféfor 3,000 sitting people integrated) surrounded by
extensive landscape (with parking mainly underground and the rest centralized in a parking structure). There will be additional buildings such as an auditorium, R&D facilities, a fitness center and a dedicated generating plant as primary source of electricity (powered by natural gas and other more environmentally sound means).
4.2 Corporate culture
Apple was one of several highly successful companies founded in the 1970s that bucked the traditional notions of what a corporate culture should look like in organizational hierarchy (flat versus tall, casual versus formal attire, etc.). Other highly successful firms with similar cultural aspects from the same period include Southwest Airlines and Microsoft. Originally, the company stood in opposition to staid competitors like IBM by default, thanks to the influence of its founders; Steve Jobs often walked around the office barefoot even after Apple was a Fortune 500 company. By the time of the ―1984‖TV ad, this trait had become a key way the company attempted to differentiate itself from its competitors.
As the company has grown and been led by a series of chief executives, each with his own idea of what Apple should be, some of its original character has arguably been lost, but Apple still has a reputation for fostering individuality and excellence that reliably draws talented people into its employ, especially after Jobs' return. To recognize the best of its employees, Apple created the Apple Fellows program, awarding individuals who made extraordinary technical or leadership contributions to personal computing while at the company. The Apple Fellowship has so far been awarded to a few individuals including Bill Atkinson, Steve Capps, Rod Holt, Alan Kay, Guy Kawasaki, Al Alcorn, Don Norman, Rich Page, and Steve Wozniak.
Numerous employees of Apple have cited that projects without Jobs' involvement often take longer than projects with his involvement. Another presents the image of Jobs ―wandering the hall with a flame thrower in hand, asking random people 'do you work on MobileMe?'‖.
At Apple, employees are specialists who are not exposed to functions outside their area of expertise. Jobs saw this as a means of having best-in-class employees in every role. For instance, Ron Johnson who was Senior Vice President of Retail Operations until November 1, 2011, was responsible for site selection, in-store service, and store layout, yet he had no control of the inventory in his stores (which is done company wide by then-COO and now CEO Tim Cook who has a background in supply-chain management). This is the opposite of General Electric's corporate culture which has created well-rounded managers.
Under the leadership of Tim Cook who joined the company in 1998 and ascended to his present position as CEO, Apple has developed an extremely efficient and effective supply chain which has been ranked as the world's best for the four
years 2007–2010. The company's manufacturing, procurement and logistics enables it to execute massive product launches without having to maintain large, profit-sapping inventories; Apple's profit margins have been 40 percent compared with 10–20 percent for most other hardware companies in 2011. Cook's catchphrase to describe his focus on the company's operational edge is ―Nobody wants to buy sour milk‖. The company previously advertised its products as being made in America up to the late 1990s, however as a result of outsourcing initiatives in the 2000s almost all of its manufacturing is now done abroad. According to a report by the New York Times, Apple insiders ―believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and industrial skills of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that ―Made in the U.S.A.‖ is no longer a viable option for most Apple products‖.
4.3 Finance
In its fiscal year ending in September 2011, Apple Inc. hit new heights financially with $108 billion in revenues (increased significantly from $65 billion in 2010) and nearly $82 billion in cash reserves. Apple achieved these results while losing market share in certain product categories.
On March 19, 2012, Apple announced plans for a $2.65 per share dividend beginning in fourth quarter of 2012, per approval by their board of directors.
On August 20, 2012 Apple closed at a record share price of $665.15. With 936,596,000 outstanding shares (as of June 30, 2012), it had a market capitalization of $622.98 billion. This is the highest nominal market capitalization ever reached by a publicly traded company and surpasses a record set by Microsoft in 1999.

美国ionaudio中英文简介苹果公司企业文化
苹果公司企业文化 1．专注于设计 首先，每个员工都必须牢记苹果比其他任何一家公司都更加注重产品的设计。像微软这样的公司向来不擅于打造让人赏心悦目的产品，而苹果才是真正地在做设计——了解消费者的需求，懂得如何满足消费者的需求，然后着手实现这些目标。虽然实现起来并不总是很容易，但苹果似乎每次都能恰到好处地完成。这难道不是员工的努力造就了苹果的成功吗？如果离开了员工的努力，苹果有可能会很快没落。 2．信任乔布斯美国ion 苹果是一家非常有意思的公司，它的企业文化从员工一直延伸到了消费者。这也就是说，它对员工的期望也是它对消费者的期望。其中，最重要的一点期望就是——相信乔布斯。在过去的十年中，乔布斯一直是苹果的救星。他曾带领苹果走出老化的商业模式并进行革新，从而创造了前所未有的成就，并向市场推出了许多更好的产品。不过，“相信乔布斯” 有时也会太过头（比如最近的iPhone天线门事件）。但是，在大多数情况下，相信乔布斯对苹果、对员工和对消费者来说都是有益无害的。 3．忘记一切，从头开始中国总代理 当员工初到苹果时，公司就希望他们立即做一件事：忘掉曾经了解的技术。苹果公司所做的事情与其他公司都不一样。无论是产品的设计、新产品的设计理念还是公司独具的简单运营方式，只要是在苹果，所有事情就会不同。把在其他公司的工作习惯带到苹果来，可能会造成更多的麻烦。苹果是不同寻常的。 4．坚信苹果比其它所有公司都强 不同于行业里的其它任何公司，苹果公司非常自负。其中的部分原因是由于乔布斯非常自我，他相信苹果是世界上最强的公司，有不同于其他公司的做事方式。虽然苹果的仇敌无法忍受这一点，但是对所有该公司的粉丝和员工而言，这一信条已经成为了一种号召力。 5. 看重外界的看法深圳市佳音王电子 由于自负的本性，苹果用心聆听人们对自己的产品的批评。但在真正的苹果时尚里，该公司会选择更加恶毒的行为来回应这些批评，这一点是行业里其它所有公司都不能企及的。毕竟，行业里有哪家公司可以在遇到诸如iPhone 4天线门这样的事件时还能满不在乎，依旧我行我素的呢？苹果不喜欢听到别人指责自己是错误的，并希望不管是自己的员工、还是外界的追捧者都能跟自己坚定的站在一起。 6．永不服输电话：400 777 5166 苹果最具魅力的一点就是它永不服输。就算产品被批评得体无完肤，该公司似乎也能在危急时刻找到脱离火海的方法。没有哪个领域能比计算市场把这一点展现得更加淋漓尽致的了。在做出了一些有着不少争议（和风险）的决策后，乔布斯凭借正确的策略扭转了局面，使公司获得了收益。今天，苹果希望自己所创造的利润可以打破纪录。乔布斯最不想看到的就是竞争对手击败自己的公司。也许，这就是为什么谷歌在移动市场的收益能让这位CEO如此愤怒的原因。 7．时刻关注细节网址： 如果说苹果懂得哪一条经营之道，那就是关注细节意味着长远回报。例如，谷歌的Android 操作系统，现在可能卖得很好，但在使用了一段时间之后，大多数消费者就会发现Android 与苹果的ios操作系统相比缺乏一些闪光点。这点差距并不会让消费者觉得Android操作系统不太好用，事实上，可以说Android和ios一样好用，但这点小小的差距确实会让一些消费者禁不住怀疑谷歌为什么就不能再做得更好一点。在大多数情况下，苹果却多努力了一点

在中国定价分别为5288元和4488元起。 二、成功的商业模式 一个完整的商业模式由四个密切相关的要素构成：客户价值、赢利模式、关键资源和关键流程。 1.一个成功的商业模式，最根本的就是要提供新的客户价值。对于苹果而言，用户价值以前意味着苹果公司为他们提供超出同业的最新技术，而自从乔布斯归来，苹果开始重新审视客户价值，破除封闭的老思维，兼收并蓄，纵横捭阖，将先进的技术、合适的成本和出众的营销技巧相结合。 苹果的产品并没有什么特别前沿的技术，也往往不是业界第一个吃螃蟹的人，但是能够在合适的时机将合适的技术以最适合消费者体验的方式设计出来，从而取得成功。 例如，最早推出数字音乐播放器的公司并不是苹果，而是一家名为“钻石多媒体”的公司，他们早在1998 年就推出了数字音乐播放器，比苹果公司早了整
整3 年。 2.赢利模式创新最关键 成功商业模式的第二步就是明确赢利模式。苹果公司的主要有两个赢利路径：一是靠卖硬件产品来获得一次性的高额利润，这在目前为苹果提供了绝大部分的利润来源；二是靠卖音乐和应用程序来获得重复性购买的持续利润，以及获得运营平台的报酬。 这两个赢利方式还会互相加强，形成良性循环。由于优秀的设计，以及超过10 万计的音乐和应用程序的支持，无论是ipod、iphone 还是ipad，都要比同类竞争产品的利润高很多。同样，由于有卓越硬件和苹果高销量的支持，那些应用程序也更有价值，也就更能促进新程序和软件的开发，拉动更多更好的内容进入苹果的供应链。 更让微软、谷歌等新老对手恼火的是，过去一直小众和封闭的苹果如今不仅完成了大众化的转身，而且仍然自成一体，牢牢掌控核心资源和核心能力后，

(formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) is an American multinational corporation that designs and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. The company's best-known hardware products are the Macintosh line of computers, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad (Apple calls its computers Macintoshes or Macs, and it calls its laptops MacBooks. Their popular line of mobile music players are called iPods and a smart phone they have released is called the iPhone.). Its software includes the OS X and iOS operating system; the iTunes media browser; and the iLife and iWork creativity and production suites. Apple is the world's third-largest mobile phone maker after Samsung and Nokia. Established on April 1, 1976 in Cupertino, California, and incorporated January 3, 1977, the company was named Apple Computer, Inc. for its first 30 years. The word "Computer" was removed from its name on January 9, 2007, as its traditional focus on personal computers shifted towards consumer electronics. As of July 2011, Apple has 364 retail stores in thirteen countries as well as the online Apple Store and iTunes Store. It is the largest publicly-traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of US$626 billion as of September 2012.

Apple topped list of the World's Most Powerful Brands on October 2, 2012. 2. Current products 2.1 iPad On January 27, 2010, Apple introduced their much-anticipated media tablet, the iPad running a modified version of iOS.

苹果公司组织结构分析 苹果公司简介 苹果公司，原称苹果电脑公司，英文名Apple,Inc由乔布斯.斯蒂夫.沃兹尼亚克和Ron Wayn在1976 年创立。苹果股份有限公司总部位于美国加利福尼亚的库比提诺，核心业务是电子科技产品。自成立以来,其在电子科技产品领域一直处于全球领先地位,包括Macintosh电脑、iPod音乐播放器、iTunes商店、iPhone手机和iPad平板电脑等在内的电子科技产品更是在近年来风靡全球。2011年2月，苹果公司打破诺基亚连续15年销售量第一的地位，成为全球第一大手机生产商。2011年8月10日苹果公司市值超过埃克森美孚，成为全球市值最高的上市公司。 苹果公司的组织结构图
苹果公司组织结构设置原则 1、简约不简单，精简机构 简约是苹果组织结构的关键。苹果没有委员会，整体管理的概念在这里不受欢迎，只有一个人——首席财务官——掌握“损益表”,对造成盈亏的费用开支负责。 2、环状沟通，减小管理幅度 管理层各部门直接与首席执行官乔布斯相连，底层员工再直接与各管理层相连。这样一来，公司CEO处于信息传递的核心，一旦有任务下达，公司可以以最快的速度告知职员。（如图）
3、快速传递信息，迅速反应 对苹果来说，由于有着简约的组织结构，所以苹果这个庞大的公司能够迅速地采取行动和信息传递。 4、因人设职，权责分明 苹果公司从来不把公司损益情况当做管理人员的业绩凭证，每个员工只用专注于自己的责任。公司的每个员工的职责都分得非常清楚，正是这样使公司内部管理井井有条且充满活力。 5、因地制宜，分区管理 苹果公司的市场庞大，采取分区管理更利于总部因地制宜。为不同地区制定不同的管理方案等。 苹果公司组织结构的优点
(完整版)乔布斯中英文简介
Jobs Nobody else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter, could put on a show like Steve Jobs. His product launches, at which he would stand alone on a black stage and conjure up a “magical” or “incredible” new electronic gadget in front of an awed crowd, were the performances of a master showman. All computers do is fetch and shuffle numbers, he once explained, but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be magic”. He spent his life packaging that magic into elegantly designed, easy to use products. He had been among the first, back in the 1970s, to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling computers to ordinary people. In those days of green-on-black displays, when floppy discs were still floppy, the notion that computers might soon become ubiquitous seemed fanciful. But Mr Jobs was one of a handful of pioneers who saw what was coming. Crucially, he also had an unusual knack for looking at computers from the outside, as a user, not just from the inside, as an engineer—something he attributed to the experiences of his wayward youth. Mr Jobs caught the computing bug while growing up in Silicon Valley. As a teenager in the late 1960s he cold-called his idol, Bill Hewlett, and talked his way into a summer job at Hewlett-Packard. But it was only after dropping out of college, travelling to India, becoming a Buddhist and experimenting with psychedelic drugs that Mr Jobs returned to California to co-found Apple, in his parents’ garage, on April

苹果公司简介-公司简介 1977至1981年迈克尔斯科特(michael scott) 在苹果的第三名员工麦克马库拉(mike markkula)的游说下，斯科特从国家半导体跳槽到苹果。而由于当时的乔布斯和史蒂夫沃兹尼亚克(steve wozniak)都太过年轻，难当重任，因此他便成为了该公司的首任ceo。 1981至1983年麦克马库拉 担任苹果ceo期间，他帮助苹果推广了最初的两款电脑，并为公司提供了信用和风险资本。他最初表示将在苹果工作4年，但实际时间却超过这一计划。他从1985年至1997年间一直担任苹果董事长，直到乔布斯重返苹果并成立新的董事会为止。 有报道称，苹果联合创始人沃兹尼亚克认为马库拉对苹果的贡献甚至高于他自己。 1997至2014年史蒂夫乔布斯 在1997年被任命为临时ceo后，乔布斯的主要目标便是帮助公司盈利。在这位新ceo的领导下，苹果开发了mac os x，推出了imac。直到2014年，乔布斯才正式出任苹果ceo。在此之后，他又接连推出了ipod、itunes和iphone。对创新永不满足的乔布斯后来又发布了ipad，并且将mac塑造得更为优雅而纤薄。 乔布斯于2014年8月24日宣布辞职，并表示自己已经无法继续履行ceo的职责和期许。
苹果广告：1984 广告，将ibm的pc描述成银河系帝国和英国作家奥维尔塑造的独裁者老大哥，而将苹果描述成生气蓬勃、多姿多彩的挑战者。简而言之，该广告就是要吸引看《星球大战》长大的一代使用苹果macintosh电脑。 苹果广告：《不同凡想》(think different)这个广告代表了乔布斯1997年回归苹果。苹果在该广告中将自己描述成爱因斯坦、甘地、毕加索和马丁?路德?金等不同凡想的人，那么，广告中压根儿没有说苹果电脑与这位画家有什么关系。是我们参照广告语不同凡响而把毕加索代表的意义（不同凡响）转移到苹果电脑所推行的品质上。 《苹果电脑毕加索篇》电视广告表现的是毕加索的别出心裁，大家以为他正在画一头牛，而他画出的却是一个丰满的女人。广告中没有说苹果电脑与这位画家有什么关系。是我们参照广告语不同凡响而把毕加索代表的意义（不同凡响）转移到苹果电脑所推行的品质上。 不同凡响广告策略 它能够成功，是因为它提醒了苹果的员工谁才是他们的目标客户，同时也给这些消费者强化了一个意识：与他们打交道的是一个懂得他们心愿与梦想的品牌。正是那些疯狂到以为自己可以改变世界的人，才能真正改变世界。它也鼓励消费者去相信自己，相信自己的希望和梦想。 创新家和平庸的模仿者之间的本质区别：前一类人相信顾客的梦想和他们改变世界的能力；后一类人只把顾客看作摇钱树，仅此而已。
美国ion audio中英简介和苹果的销售策略
为什么苹果很迷人?为什么苹果爱好者们都疯狂追随?一个顶级产品的魅力体现在什么地方?是产品本身或者说这个品牌本身所具有的品位、优雅、尊贵、时尚等元素，而不仅仅是其使用价值，即产品的品牌性格。 在这个品牌制胜的时代,要在众多优秀的品牌中脱颖而出,仅靠功能特性已经远远不够,要赋予品牌更多人性化的因素,才能产生更大的吸引力。苹果的市值超过微软1000多亿美元,相当于超越了一个惠普。近10年来,PC业发生了天翻地覆的变化,并不是靠技术起家的苹果基本都找对了发展方向,从PC到消费电子产品,到互联网,再到移动互联网。乔布斯靠的不是技术导向,即通过某项技术的领先从而称霸移动互联网。他的成功更倾向于通过顾客导向，是基于对人性的了解,把握人的欲望和对需求的细节。从而一路把人性营销做到了极致。 ①未曾营销先造势 往往越是未知的东西即将到来,人们便越是想迫切地知道真相。而企业利用好人们这种围观和看热闹的心态,就能让你即使用低成本也能做好宣传。 正如管理大师德鲁克所说:“市场营销的目标是使推销成为多余”,这是真正的营销境界,而苹果真正的做到了。在苹果迷们盼望苹果手机面世的长达一年多时间里,网上讨论不断,甚至有人自称搞到了苹果手机的设计方案。但直到发布当日,人们最终看到iPhone的真实面目,几乎所有人都猜中了它叫iPhone,但几乎所有人都没有猜中他的造型,更为他的各种性能惊叹。正如爱情真正令人高兴的是追求的过程,而非婚后生活。消费者患得患失的心理和探求未知结果的神秘感,是产品推广和品牌宣传中最有价值的营销工具。 在充斥着商业宣传的世界里,制造声势的目标就是要确保营销的产品成为人们谈论的话题。苹果公司会将其产品宣传成标志时代意义的物品,将其先进的技术创新吹嘘的天花乱坠,让顾客如痴如醉渴望得到,但最终你会发现你买回家的就是一部手机或者是一部带“智能”的手机。 ②饥饿式营销 苹果的产品之所以如此受欢迎,很大程度上来源于其对市场供应的控制,也就是使市场处于某种相对的“饥饿”状态,这有利于保持其产品价格的稳定性和对产品升级的控制权。iPhone的销售显然是这种策略的代表。 自上市以来,不管市场对这款产品的呼声多高,苹果公司始终坚持限量供应。不少人或许是因为买不到,而想买一部试试。有人甚至花很大的代价得到了自己并不了解的东西,他就会满足于得到的喜悦,有时候甚至不清楚自己想要的究竟是什么,而苹果的饥饿营销则正好利用了人们这种赶潮流、追时尚的心理。 苹果和乔布斯,高傲且强势,很多消费者为等产品发布彻夜排队,买产品要“预订”,他高高吊起人们的胃口,却不急于满足。不满足引来更多关注,这就是为什么限量版比大路货更让人追逐。苹果的这种营销态度又在强化其产品风格:强势、高傲和特立独行。因为不容易拥有,便会更显得珍贵,更加不同。这种强势的营销风格和它的产品一样,让人又爱又恨,欲罢不能。 ③体验营销——让用户亨受不一样的神秘感受 乔布斯总是会考虑这样的问题,即产品的用户体验是怎样?苹果公司每推出一款新产品的推介会,都会选择充满神秘色彩的剧场进行,通过幕剧的形式对产品进行宣传,激起人们强烈的好奇心。 美国ION AUDIO中国大陆总代理- 深圳市佳音王电子有限公司诚招各地经销商深圳市龙岗区横岗安良六村安业路11-1号电话：400-777-5166 www ion net cn
