Another simple, yet helpful, addition is the inclusion of buttons which allow users to switch between the iTunes store and back to the library.

    Apple, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in the U.S. At that time, the main product of the company was personal computers. After a success in the personal computer field, Apple started to expand their product area. They sold Macintosh, computer software, Pippin, video game console, Newton, world first PDA, iPod, mp3 player and so on. Some of their products were successful whereas others eventually failed. Both successful cases and failed ones contributed to Apple's current success, the status as the most innovative firm in the world. Their innovative idea with high technology and trendy design attracted customers globally. In fact, the brand image of Apple is related to its core competency, "creativity" and "innovation." In addition, "convergence" among Apple products is one of the core competencies of Apple. In other words, each of their products is related to one another or more:-For instance, Mac computer to Mac Operating System, iPod to iTunes music store. In this sense, once a customer buys one Apple product and is satisfied with it, he/she becomes a fan of Apple. It leads to a purchase of another Apple product in a series. This strategy is connected with their recent structural change, towards expansion of products to cover the whole IT industry. Through this movement, Apple is planning to establish the Total Information System (TIS). Recently Apple launched innovative product iPad, a type of advanced tablet PC. Likewise, Apple keeps changing to Total Information System firm with their core competency.…

    The PESTEL framework examines the six main macro environmental influencing factors of companies: political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal. These influences determine the future success or failure of the corporate strategies. The political influence include the role of the governments; economics embraces the macro economic factors such as growth rate, exchange rates and business cycles; the social component stands for changing cultures and demographics; technological influences include innovations; environment refers to the “green” issues including pollution and waste; and legal entails legislative changes and constraints. Gerry(2008) argues that identifying the key drivers for change helps to focus on the important PESTEL factors. Based on those managers can make the optimal decision for effective action. Thus, the key drivers for change determine the success or failure of a strategy. For instance the clothing retailers are concerned about the social changes which drive consumer taste and behaviour.
