Shift of business models from selling hardware, to making platforms for services

Looking forward to the future of business

Why is apple making more PHP than Samsung?   Why is Samsung floundering despite making being the leader in CP manufacture.

Well Apple has monetized its Apple iphone to the platform for its services.   For its renewal of ios, the Apple TV, the sale of music etc.

Whereas, Apple is just focused on Samsung phone sales

We see ourselves in the future selling more services where margins are higher and repeat sales are possible rather than sale of hard assets

Whats the technological advantage in iPhone 5s that is freaking out competition?

From BGR.com | Apple surprises market with 64 bit A7 processor by Chris Smith | December 17, 2013






What is one feature in iPhone that is being downplayed in iPhone 5s that caught many smartphone competitors by surprise, and are downplaying right now?  Qualcomm CMO says it is a marketing gimmick.  But in reality, it is not.  Look at the graph below showing its speed

It is the superfastt A7 64 bit microprocessor.  It has been in PC for a while but Apple was the first one to put this in smartphone.  It means the iPhone can process large chunks of data much faster than a 32 bit smartphone.

And now everybody is on a catch up mode.  It is not a simple matter of putting in the microprocessor;  the software has to be integrated also.  Samsung announced that it will join the 64 bit race and so with Qualcomm (maybe one year after).   By that time, it is kind of late.

What is the advantage companies:  being the first to commercialize an innovation.  And Apple so far has been successful.  It is not the discovery or invention nor the innovation gene, but getting to the market first.  It takes some kind of discipline and leadership to constantly  be the first in market place, not the first with ideas.

I am not an Apple discipline nor a blogger for Apple. I am just reciting the data as I see them.

 

What is More Profitable Than Apple? What else?

What is more profitable than Apple?  Oranges?



Well it is Samsung.  Samsung shipped 88 million phones vs Apples 33.8  million only Apple controls only 13.4 % of the smartphone market down from l5.6% .  In  Q3, Samsung shipments grew by 55%.  Samsung earned $ 7.6 last quarter vs $7.5 of Apple.  Which is the better bet?  Where would you invest?

Leadership tips from a mega-church founder | Should bosses try to emulate Christine Quinn? | Resurrected brands offer nostalgia and novelty Created for profjorge.entrep@gmail.com |  Web Version March 29, 2013 CONNECT WITH SMARTBRIEF       SIGN UP | FORWARD | ARCHIVE | ADVERTISE Leading Edge Sponsored By Leadership tips from a mega-church founder Good leaders know how to delegate all the parts of their work that they aren't passionate about, says evangelical pastor Rob Bell, founder of Michigan's Mars Hill Bible mega-church. Giving up that much control might seem scary, but it's better for the leader and the organization in the long run, Bell argues. "If the CEO is spending 25% of her time in the area where she's really wired to contribute, but 75% of her time, she's just grunting it out, she's going to burn out quite quickly," he warns. CNNMoney/Fortune (3/28) Share:      Should bosses try to emulate Christine Quinn? New York City Council speaker and mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn has an idiosyncratic leadership style that involves hurling invective at those around her, threatening to mutilate opponents and yelling so loudly that subordinates were forced to soundproof her office to avoid scaring visitors. Quinn says her robust approach is an effective strategy for breaking through red tape and getting things done, but some leadership experts say such a management style is abusive and counterproductive, regardless of the leader.

Strategic Management Sponsored By Resurrected brands offer nostalgia and novelty Some entrepreneurs are relaunching storied brands in a bid to appeal to nostalgic baby boomers and novelty-seeking younger consumers. The key is to find ways to make legacy brands appealing to young consumers, says marketing expert Rohit Deshpande. "They're not prisoners of history," he says. "They can come up with fresh ideas and rethink what the brand could be." Inc. magazine (3/2013) Share:      What can the cloud do for your construction company?

Innovation and Creativity How to build a bathroom in the sky Airplane bathrooms are an important part of the aviation business: Toilets are crucial if carriers want to operate lengthy routes, but hauling water requires planes to burn more fuel. That's made airplane toilets the focus of intensive research and development, with researchers using simulated waste composed of dog food or shredded sponges to test prototype hyper-efficient toilets. The Wall Street Journal (3/28) Share:      Want to innovate? Go jump off a cliff Innovation is a cycle that starts when you jump off into the unknown, writes Diego Rodriguez. Once you hit the bottom, it's important to dust yourself off and climb back up again -- but also to take the time to reflect on what you've learned. "It's critical to give yourself the time to stabilize and emerge refreshed, inspired, and ready to roll again," Rodriguez writes.

Amid surreal surroundings -- clouds painted on the floor, upside-down table lamps fixed to the ceiling -- workers listen while speeches boom over a loudspeaker system, and many make kimchi together in a bid to boost teamwork and cultural pride.

"Worries about the wine's ability to live up to expectations, whether they've paired it with the right food or uncorked it at the proper moment take all the joy out of the occasion," writes Brian Palmer.
