- That makes Apple the world's most successful company because their ability to control networks. The global economy is made up of a series of networks that link customers with providers from all corners of the world. Once companies have gained a strong position in these networks, they can then enhance and modify them to suit their business. Good entrepreneurs seek to occupy positions of control and power in the economic networks in which they operate. Companies can build and maintain middleman position through tactically acquiring competitors, this explains the numerous mergers and takeovers that have taken place over the past decade.
- Acquisition strategies by Apple show how mergers and takeovers can also be used to pre-emptively counter the emergence of any potential competitor. The importance of these middleman positions explains as well how companies exercise control over trade conditions in their own supply chain networks. Imposing strict costing on suppliers might cause exploitative work conditions in the plants in which many of the company’s products are produced. But this enables them to keep their costs to a minimum.
- Apple are well known for exercising close control of their supply chains and for imposing trade conditions on their suppliers that allows them to operate at much lower costs, increasing its profit margin.
The most successful corporations are able to create new networks through an innovative vision that executes a business strategy that fits with the prevailing philosophy of life.
