    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. 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  Jasjit Singh,  Christiane Bode
            Add to cart
            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

                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. Apple created future profits and growth not by exploiting existing demand, but by reconstructing industry boundaries to create new market space and unlock latent demand.

                            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.

                                        Compaq Computer Corp., like many manufacturers, faces operational choices that strongly influence the cost of capital engaged in inventory, customer response time, and potential product obsolescence. This case describes some key operations strategy choices regarding two types of inventory: operation inventory (e.g., flow) and tactical inventory (e.g., finished goods).

                                                Delta Electronics, an automotive supplier, moves from delivering components to integrated systems of hardware and software. The company is facing the entry of Sun's Java and Microsoft's Windows CE into automotive electronics. Delta must decide which of the two possible standards to follow, and understand how the entry of these software platforms changes its own competitive position.
