Some people say this is accurate for all he has done for the world. Introducing the Iphone to the public was a risky one but it was a step that no human has tried before. Making a portable, multi-touchscreen phone, music player, with Internet, and a way to do all this at once was unheard of. Jobs did not do this all by himself though.

Contributions As a young industrialist, Michael Dell recognized that addressing and anticipating the consumer’s needs was the answer to a successful company. While attending college Dell ventured into the computer industry and brought this customer-service strategy forward as it laid the basic foundation towards the creation of a multi-billion dollar company as evidenced seven years later by becoming a Fortune 500 Company (Krames, 2003, p. 58). Unlike other computer companies, Dell continued to sharpened his focus on the consumer’s requirements instead of selling his products through computer stores, which was uncommon during this period, forced Dell’s rivals to rethink their strategy to combat Dell’s hold on the market. Interestingly enough Krames (2003) provides insight that Dell’s marketing approach towards “mass customization” (p. 49) was the result of good-natured customer service and forward thinking. Coupled with the ability to plan ahead and
After graduating, he spent a year in a research lab to test the feasibility and improve his idea based on the evidence of a brain-boosting power and the taste of it. In the process, he learned about the market and developed a business plan to eventually launch a very successful business across the world. The remarkable thing about Think Gum is that it was launch mostly based on the demand of the product, when manufacturers were not so sure about taking a chance on a new chewing gum.

Jerry Storch had a very canny approach which his way of thinking was for the good of the company and to differentiate itself from the retail giants. The approach that helped Toys “R” Us from its competitors was selling different products then the Wal Mart and Target. I really think that this is a very smart move because I recently changed from working for the biggest service provider in the Oil and Gas industry to a competitor who wants to enter the completion tool business and compete with the big boys. I was hired on to kickstart and look for ways to compete in this business so with that being said and working closely with my customers who are engineers for major production companies and asking what their needs and wants were.

Change in expansion motivations Through this first very positive experience Chami was convinced about his internationalisation plans and his next country on the list was Saudi Arabia. The market entry was not as easy and successful as the one in Dubai. This was partially due to a different strategy with Italian partners as a joint venture which caused problems through cultural differences (Both Italian partners left the market between the first and second year).

Therefore Chabros changed for the first time their expansion motivations because they opened an office in Serbia not in order to expand their business in this country.
