Hello

I want you to write an excellent paper following the steps down and included in the attached photos.

the company is Apple.

COMPANY ANALYSIS: The primary goal of this paper analysis is to fully research Apple, describe its current business situation, and identify several reasonable alternative courses of action the managers of Apple may consider.

Describe the industry in which Apple competes and do a thorough external analysis of the situation. How is apple shaping, or being shaped by, industry forces?

With whom is it partnering, complementing, or competing?

Which are its major competitors, how do competitors’ strategies differ, and what competitive moves might specific competitors take in the near future?

How is the industry likely to evolve over the next 5 years?

The paper also needs to perform an internal analysis Apple, identifying the firm’s strengths and weaknesses, its core competencies, and the resources it has at its disposal. The financial situation of Apple needs to be carefully and thoughtfully analyzed to determine how it is using its financial resources, and the extent to which these resources can be used to fund significant products or investments.

Use concepts/theories/models/frameworks that you feel are most appropriate for analyzing Apple and its competitive situation. This analysis of the company should comprise 1500-3000 words, and potentially include several exhibits.

Next, the paper should describe at least three distinct strategic alternatives that could significantly change the position and key strategy of Apple and strategies its managers should be considering.

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of these alternatives. Identifying and describing the strategic alternatives should comprise 500-1000 words and should be based on the prior analysis.

Finally, in under 500 words describe which one of these alternatives you would recommend, why it fits with your analysis, and why it is superior to the other reasonable and appropriate alternatives that you identified.

A complete bibliography should be included, and proper citation provided for all data and analyses that were gathered from sources. Multiple sources of information must be used, including that “published” by the company, news reports regarding the company, and independent analyses of the company and industry. Please access current articles from sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Financial Times, Forbes, Fast Company, etc. Make sure to obtain information from enough sources so that there is a thorough and balanced understanding of the company – not just what the company wants customers and investors to believe about it. The formatting and style of the paper should follow APA guidelines.
