grew quickly It went public in 1980 to instant financial success Over the next few years, Apple shipped new computers featuring innovative graphical user interfaces, such as the original Macintosh, announced with the critically acclaimed advertisement "1984" However, the high price of its products and limited application library caused  problems, as did power struggles between executives In 1985, Wozniak departed Apple amicably, while Jobs resigned to found NeXT, taking some Apple co-workers with him As the market for personal computers expanded and evolved through the 1990s, Apple lost considerable market share to the lower-priced duopoly of Microsoft Windows on Intel PC clones The board recruited CEO Gil Amelio, who prepared the struggling company for eventual success with extensive reforms, product focus and layoffs in his 500-day tenure In 1997, Amelio bought NeXT, to resolve Apple's unsuccessful operating system strategy and bring back Steve Jobs, who replaced Amelio

the base tower of mobile phones Texting messages or answering a call while driving can lead to serious injury As a giant tech, Apple need to respond to the government regulations The company need to improve or innovate the technology to produce their mobile devices to limit the amount of radio energy emission Besides, connecting the cellphones with handfree devices on car should be taken to avoid

  It is not denied that the current success of Apple has the great support of the media, especially in the brand image and marketing The BuzzFeed had a title in 2017 that the best product of Apple was its media strategy According to a survey conducted by Reuters, 43% journalists responded that Apple News was important to their organization The company created their own platform for users like @AppleSupport if you have any problem One of the biggest advantages of this way is that there will not be any complaint or negative comment about the firm on its social media account This may help them to protect the reputation You may have seen a post about Apple on Facebook or  Twitter or maybe Instagram, but who knows if it could be true or not However, it does not mean that Apple does not take advantage of mass media They still need the media to promote their product For example, they ran a campaign “Give the Gift of Go with Apple Watch” during the holiday on Facebook In addition, Apple combined with Twitter to advertise their Apple event by creating a “Retweet for  updates from Apple” If users want to know more about the event information, they need to retweet and Appl could market their events One interesting thing about Apple media strategy is how it builds the Instagram account The account of Apple is not about the company, it is about the customer of the company Each post or story in this account is a content of user-generated or commissioned Thus, as you can see, Apple does not use social media to advertise, but also to connect with customers The general environment  Despite Apple’s considerable resources and capabilities, various trends within the General Environment pose considerable threats to the ongoing success s uccess of the firm Proper   planning and action will allow the firm to marginalize these threats while leveraging core compet com petenc encies ies to ta take ke ful fulll adv advant antage age of eme emergi rging ng opp opport

users  III CONCLUSION Internal factors to the organization must be assessed to ensure all stakeholders are satisfied and they agree with the strategies To ensure that decisions are accepted by all  parties, all stakeholders must be involved in the decision-making process Strategic plans are developed for the welfare of all stakeholders and they should be used to add value When making business decisions, the company's management should solicit input from all internal and external stakeholders The majority of external factors in Apple's remote or macro-environment provide opportunities, according to the PESTLE analysis Given its current industry position, the company can exploit these opportunities to expand its reach in the global information technology goods and services market However, Apple must develop suitable strategies to effectively address the threats identified, especially those in the legal dimension of its remote or macro-environment Based on this PESTLE analysis, it is expected that Apple will remain in its strong industry position Nonetheless, the dynamics of the market and the presence of aggressive competitors could drastically change the company’s strategic position In this context, it is of critical importance to further improve the strengths identified in the SWOT analysis of Apple Inc 18
