How are companies sucessful?
So what makes a company successful and able to compete against other technology-producing companies? In my opinion, a business is able to be successful if they continuously surpass and improve upon their technology. If a company isn’t improving their technology they will eventually reach of point where they aren’t growing and they have a decline in buyers purchasing their products.
Just like when I referred to the iPhone in my last blog, Apple is continuously adapting to the competitive market by improving its product and producing new ones. This consistent stream of new inventions has caused an increasing amount of consumers who purchase these products. Even when you make a comparison between an apple and dell computer, you find many who would choose the apple computer over the dell. Why is this? One example is that the Apple Company has created a computer which rarely get viruses often since it operates on Unix Kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems. By doing this they have made a good operating computer with few problems. This is convenient since many people, who I’ve known, have spent hours upon hours trying to fix their hard drives and motherboards from viruses that have corrupted their computer system only to get another new computer.
If dell caught onto a concept like this and instead of duplicating and adding on top of the faulty programming system they have, they would have an influx of consumers wanting to buy this new technology. If Dell or Gateway were to switch their system of doing things instead of being stagnent they would be one of the leading companies in technology today.
