Слайд 3Apple is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer
electronics, computer software and personal computers.
Слайд 4Its best-known hardware products are the Mac line of computers, the iPod music player,the iPhone smartphone,
and the iPad tablet computer. Its consumer software includes the OSX systems, the
iTunes media browser, the Safari web browser, the iLife and iWork
creativity and productivity suites.
Слайд 5Apple is the world's second-largest information technology company by revenue after Samsung Electronics,
and the world's third-largest mobile phone maker after Samsung and Nokia.
Слайд 6Fortune magazine named Apple the most admired company in the United
States in 2008, and in the world from 2008 to
2012. On September 30, 2013, Apple surpassed Coca-Cola to become the world's most valuable brand in theOmnicom Group's "Best Global Brands" report. However, the company has received criticism for its contractors' labor practices, and for Apple's own environmental and business practices.
Слайд 7Apple was established on April 1, 1976, by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald
Wayne to sell the Apple I personal computer kit, a computer single
handedly designed by Wozniak. The kits were hand-built by Wozniak and first shown to the public at the Homebrew Computer Club.
Слайд 8Corporate 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).
Слайд 9Other 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.
Слайд 10Apple has been a participant in various legal proceedings and
claims since it began operation and, like its competitors and
peers, engages in litigation (trying legal cases before the courts) in its normal course of business for a variety of reasons. In particular, Apple is known for and promotes itself as actively and aggressively enforcing its intellectual property interests.
Litigation
Слайд 11Finance
In its fiscal year ending in September 2011, Apple Inc.
reported a total of $108 billion in annual revenues –
a significant increase from its 2010 revenues of $65 billion – and nearly $82 billion in cash reserves.
Слайд 12Apple's brand 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.
Слайд 13Apple 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.
Слайд 14Apple 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.
Слайд 15Google is an American multinational corporation specializing in Internet-related services
and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing,
and software. Most of its profits are derived from AdWords.
Слайд 16Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while
they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Together they own
about 14 percent of its shares but control 56 of the stockholder voting power through supervoting stock.
Слайд 17They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September
4, 1998. An initial public offering followed on August 19,
2004.
Слайд 18Its mission statement from the outset was "to organize the
world's information and make it universally accessible and useful,"and its
unofficial slogan was "Don't be evil." In 2004, Google moved to its new headquarters in Mountain View, California, nicknamed the Googleplex.
Слайд 19Rapid growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products,
acquisitions and partnerships beyond Google's core search engine.
Слайд 20It offers online productivity software including email (Gmail), a cloud
storage service (Google Drive), an office suite (Google Docs) and
a social networking service (Google+). Desktop products include applications for web browsing, organizing and editing photos, and instant messaging.
