          On 15 May 2001, the first Apple retail store was opened to the public at Tysons Corner, Virginia, and the same day a second store was opened in Glendale, California. With retail branded experiences virtually unknown in the industry at the time, the decision to launch the Apple retail programme was greeted with scepticism.

                          Schneider Electric in Rural India: Integrating Social Responsibility with BOP Strategy

                          By  Jasjit Singh,  Christiane Bode
                          Add to cart award
                          Schneider Electric has focused primarily on urban customers in the energy management space. The question is the extent to which it should prioritise rural opportunities for meeting the energy needs of the bottom of the pyramid, and whether these initiatives can be transitioned from subsidised social responsibility projects to self-sustaining businesses.

                              Schneider Electric in India: Power Backup Products

                              By 2011, Schneider Electric has built a substantial uninterruptible power supply business in India by adapting global products. But another power backup opportunity - the inverter sector - is more India-specific. The question is whether to prioritize this and, if so, whether to build it organically or by acquiring an Indian competitor.

                                  Lean Manufacturing at FCI (A):The Global Challenge

                                  Lean manufacturing is a production approach whereby expending resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer is considered wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. The case discusses the deployment of lean principles at FCI, a global manufacturer of electronic connectors, as the principal catalyst in achieving a worldwide turnaround in two short years.
