Well, it
has finally happened: Decades of
overpriced, under-powered hardware finally convinced once gullible consumers to
spend their stimulus money on PC's and related accessories. In 2014, Apple showed a 30 billion profit loss.
Furthermore, Apple owes more than 100 billion to creditors who manufacture
various parts for their computers, phones, and tablets. These third-world creditors refuse to issue
more money until Apple can prove it can make a profit. Unfortunately, with this record loss, Apple
shares dropped from $452.90 to $3.25.
Rather than continue to fight a losing battle, Apple has filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy, liquidating its assets to pay back creditors.
Hearing
this good news, Re-Commodore, a burgeoning electronics company has decided to
put a bid and buy the dying company.
Their hope is to buy the technology and relicense it using their brand
name.
After
months of negotiating, Re-Commodore acquires Apple's assets and debts. Before they start their marketing campaign,
the new owners must decide who of Apple's originals should remain or go. Currently, you are a labor executive for
Re-Commodore and you get to decide who should remain or be fired. Below is the chopping-block list:
Dr. Tim Crook, a brilliant chip designer, with a background
in marketing. Rather scruffy-looking and
ill-tempered. He also has a bad case of
halitosis. Nevertheless, he has a number
of successful products under his belt—along with some costly failures.
Judy Leighton, the former cute, voluptuous secretary for
Apple's former VP. She is not the
smartest card in the circuit board, but she is pretty to look at and highly
organized. Her organizational skills
prolonged Apple's life.
Bubba Jones, former head of Apple security. Mean and tattooed all over; responsible for
wetting the pants of many reporters with just a glance. He took a bullet for
the former CEO of Apple during a Microsoft assassination attempt. Not much for conversation, but has been known
to be somewhat pleasant if he knows you are on his side.
Rachel Scandalous, Marketing Director of Apple. She is fairly intelligent and has a
reputation of getting secrets from other companies with her bedroom eyes. Hated by just about all of the female
employees at Apple; yet, despite her reputation, her actions helped Apple
develop the Ipad.
John Scuzz, A rather obese programmer who practically lives
in his office. He smells like a bag of
opened potato chips left in a cooler full of swamp water. Known throughout the
building as leisure-suit Scuzz. Ugly as
hell, but an intelligent programmer who helped make Leopard what it is today. Claims to have helped Gates write DOS;
however, this rumor is still unconfirmed.
Buddy Troll, a key engineer who helped design the slim,
attractive products that Apple fan boys gobbled up faster than a starved dog with
a tapeworm. Received the nickname Party
Pizza because his face looks like a cooked Party Pizza. A poor
conversationalist, but a genius engineer.
Many have offered him jobs, but he has turned them down, stating his
dedication to Apple as the reason.
Your job for this first blog posting is to pick three of
these six employees for Re-Commodore new electronic company. These three will stay on and work to make
Re-Commodore the next Apple. Once you
pick your favorites, you must support your choice and explain how they will be
useful to Re-Commodore in a short memo.
You know their strengths and weaknesses.
Now, you have to sell your choices to Re-Commodore's CEO. I wish you the best of luck!
do we put our memo here?
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this article Ihave learned about six differents individuals who have been working for apple compagny.And I also learned how they helped apple compagny during thier employement. However,after month of negosiation Re-commodore acquires apple's asses and debets.As the new owners are responsible to apple compagny I shoose Buddy Troll,Rachel Scandalous,and Judy Leighton as the most best workers the new owners should keep on the compagny.
ReplyDeletefirst of all, considering Buddy Troll as a key engineer who helped the apple compagny in different ways. For example: with design the slim, attractive products that apple fan boys gobbled up faster than a starved dog with a tapeworm.
as he has been improved this compagny people offered him alot jobs but he prefered to stay with apple.
Secondly, Rachel Scandalous is a marketing Director of Apple. She is not the smartest on the board but, she has a reputation of getting secrets from other companies with her bedroom eyes. with these skills she will improved the compagny.
Thirdly, as Judy Leighton has been working with apple's compagny as the former cute, voluptuous secretary for Apple's former VP. She is not the smartest cards in this circuit board. She also has the look of a secretary and she has a high skill of organizations. Her organizational skills prolonged Apple's life.
finally, I trully believe that with these informations that i have provided to you about the these individuals will help yoiu understand, why it is important those individuals are the most qualified to stay with the new owners.

ReplyDeleteTO: CEO, Re-Commodore
FROM: Jeaneloufl
I would like to congratulate you on the companies most recent purchase of Apple. Apple has had some very successful electronic devices. It was very unfortunate about their financial situation; although, I am most confident that Re-Commodore will be very successful in turning the company around and will begin making profits again.
I have reviewed the list of potential Apple employees to continue employment with Re-Commodore. Below are my recommendations:
Bubba Jones This gentleman was head of Apple security. He has built his reputation around his security abilities and has an impressive background. He has been a rather quiet employee, but seems to be very dedicated to the company. He takes pride in his job and accomplishments. He once took a bullet in an assassination attempt of the former CEO of Apple! I would recommend this employee continue his security services with Re-Commodore, as his dedication and job abilities are remarkable.
John Scuzz This employee is a highly intelligent programmer for Apple. He is a very dedicated employee who gets the job done! He is not afraid to work long hours and has numerous accomplishments with the Apple company. His programming abilities helped make Leopard what they are today! Mr. Scuzz's continued employment with Re-Commodore would be an asset to our company and future products.
Buddy Troll This employee is one of Apple's finest engineers. One, of his many accomplishments, was being a key engineer in the design of the slim and attractive appearance that the Apple products are known for. He is considered to be a genius engineer! Mr. Troll is an extremely dedicated employee and would be an asset to any company that he works for. His continued employment with Re-Commodore comes with very high recommendations.
I hope that you will take these employee recommendations into consideration for continued employment with Re-Commodore. I have outlined their abilities and I feel each one would be an asset to our companies continued growth and success.
