    By  Anne-Marie Carrick,  Manuel Sosa
    Add to cart popular
    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.

        Lean Manufacturing at FCI (A):The Global Challenge

        By  Enver Yucesan,  Cynthia Laumuno
        Add to cart
        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.

                This case introduces the application of blue ocean strategy in the context of managing a business portfolio at the corporate level.

                    Nokia and the New Mobile Ecosystem (A): Competing in the Age of Internet Mobile Convergence

                    Nokia has dominated the mobile handset business for over 20 years. But as mobile technologies evolves and the consumer focus shiftsfrom handset design towards software and content platforms, it creates an opportunity for new players, such as RIM, Apple and Google, to enter the market and challenge Nokia’s position.
