Answer 1

Here is discuss about how Apple Incorporation can cut the cost while providing value from manufacturing to retail .

In my point of view, there are many ways to cut the cost in different area. Normally apple company hold this much cost in areas such as

*fixed or storage cost, because there are so much of parts to make one whole product. Need to reduce the cost in this area.

*Huge amount of money invest in supply chain management. There are high cost of investment in high exit barriers. Need to reduce the cost in supply chain management.

*There are high cost in research and development area, because apple company continuosly need more innovations and technologies. So they work on it more than other competitors. Need to reduce cost in research and development area.

*Administratives , selling and other costs are high. Because they use high in operating systems.

Components and inventory cost are high . Reduce this cost as well.

*Apple relies on third party. So it can affect the cost .

So these above cost will reduce to cut the cost . Sustainable competitive strategy focus on building strong customer loyalty to meet the needs of customer and improve the customer experience. They give superior products to satisfy their needs. The company provide good quality service that solve the problems of customer. Develop products with hardware and software. Maintain good quality of products ,that's why customer choose apple product. So they have to control the cost while expanding supply chain management and delivery time. There are need of global development and need to start a world wide player. If the company expand, they can reaches world wide. That will reduce the cost and provide much quality. Company should develop top management team and it helps to over dependence on individual. I think apple company needs to reach the customer more and more. So they will expand the distributions network to reach the customer. Enhance the current products in all fields such as mobile , networking and communication, computer, hardware etc all will develop the product quality and it's life.
