Introduction
Apple Inc. is a leading company that has recently discovered a gap in the innovative process. The gap was seen to emanate from the lack of slowness in creativity when it came to their products. Apple has always enjoyed the spot of being a technology giant but realized that a new plan needed to be fostered. There have been questions about the creative future of the company, which has a responsibility to give quality products to its consumers as part of its ethics and need to increase profits
One of the strategies that would work for the development of the iGadget is the proper allocation of resources. The plan is brilliant, but would need enough resources for its development and functioning. The program includes an appropriate analysis of the resources and other things that would be required for the new technology. To properly substantiate what is needed, the Apple Company should do an adequate evaluation of the newly proposed technology. The resources included would need to be put aside before the plan is implemented as opposed to during the process of implementation. In addition, the management of the company needs to be in synch with the scheme. Such includes involving all the heads in every department of what is expected in the development of the plan and its goals. It aids in the implementation process when all bodies in the organization are aware of the plan and how it will work.
Therefore, the management needs to notify the employees at all levels of what the new technology will involve prior to the implementation process. It would be of help if the new technology is tested for effectiveness before it is implemented. The iGadget should be consumer tried and the satisfaction determined before it is tested for efficiency. Apple has always boasted of the ability to satisfy customers with its products and needs a chance to do the same with the iGadget. What needs to be done is the use of various retailers who could tests the technology before it is implemented. The testing of the product in the market is a critical factor for its success. That, should therefore, be part of the strategies to ensure that it works.
The apple company has a good history of progress. A company that begun slowly but as time goes, it is getting hold of the market for electronics and especially the communication sector. The plus in the organization is tied to a number of factors that are always making it experience some improvement. Despite all that the company had done and is currently doing to ensure stability in the future, it is confronted by a number of challenges. They are both ethical and legal ones that may cost its reputation and its progress in general. Some of these ethical and legal issues include; product quality.
Apple products are like by many because of their quality. The company is so strict into offering quality services since that is what defines the organization. Despite the high-quality goods that they have always produced, it is until recent when its quality was questioned. The company built the iPhone 4 that customers begun complaining that the reception problems which touched directly on the quality of the product. The company defended itself by creating the covers to minimize the problem. It is thus criticized for trying to suppress the problem instead of working on it. In addition, the company has found itself in trouble concerning patenting. To secure its quality in the product, the company has to patent its products in order to avoid copying.
The company has faced multiple problems in dealing with patents where it has been able to sue different companies including Samsung Company for copying their innovation. It is good to patent its products. However, the one thing it is criticized of is that it is becoming too aggressive that it wants to sue every company for copying their innovation in a bid to only remain in the market. The company has also been sued by Kodak Company for copying their technology in imaging. In an attempt to defend it, the company lost to Kodak and it is supposed to pay Kodak for the same. Finally, a company that should take care of the environment has become the first in polluting it. The company admits that most of the emission comes from its products (O'Grady, 2009). Because of its serious innovation, it threatens the more becoming a significant issue in the environment.
The vision of a new division plan is to ensure that the profits of the company are accrued through the processing of new inventions and technology. The vision is to make sure that Apple continues enjoying the existing creativity that it has managed to showcase in most of its products over the years. The mission of the technology is in ensuring that the company manages to provide its consumers with the best of what there is in technology. The mission is set to ensure that the users in this case remain satisfied with the kind of technological advancement that they receive in their devices. The big picture lies in providing devices that are multi-purposely oriented.
