Preparing For The Future... Or Just
Clinging To The Past? 03/31/2005 02:52 PM
It's completely natural for companies in changing marketplaces to look for ways to protect their existing cash cows -- but it makes for a dangerous long term strategy. Here's another example from the newspaper industry. While not everyone agrees that newsp rint is going away, all of the talk about putti ng up pay walls for the online versions of newspapers or keepin g certain content only in the print edition is all about trying to artificially boost the appeal of the paper version in relation to the digital version. That's backwards. As new studies are showing, many in the younger generation of today won't take a newsprint subscription even if it's free. Not only do they not find it an efficient way to get and read the news, they get upset at the growing pile of newsprint in their homes. It makes them feel guilty for not reading it. It's a psychological barrier that free subscriptions and exclusive content will never get over. Instead, news organizations should be working on ways to better attract users to their digital editions, which means providing them what they want -- not making it harder for them to get what they want.

Survey says Apple employees optimistic
on company’s future 03/30/2005 05:20 PM
Apple Computer employees are optimistic on their company's future, New York research firm Vault has found in new employee surveys on the computer giant. Says a former customer solutions specialist, "The business of the company is doing great especially with the iPod and their innovative designs. However just as any large corporation the large scale structure, the organization gets lost at the lower levels. The micromanagement needs to be but to a minimum and something needs to be done to increase retention and lower the turnover rate which is substantial." A project manager writes, "Apple has its challenges for market share, and will never compete directly with Dell or HP. Instead, the focus is on creativity and the Digital Hub. Products such as the iPod are keeping us profitable during the economic downturn. If Apple continues to develop innovative and quality products like the iPod, then the long term picture should be secure." Another project manager observes, "Apple today is just like any other conservative company. Just managed the service implementation for a new product we will announce at MacWorld 2005. This should be a good year for Apple but it will not reflect in my salary or any kind of bonus I dream of receiving." Vault's employee surveys give investors and jobseekers insight into the company's business operations. Neither Vault nor its employee surveys are endorsed by or affiliated with Apple Computer.
