Cook promises Apple will 'learn' and 'take action' in memo to workers
rogifan_new said:tulkas said:They lost price discipline. Ahrendts gained too much influence and appears to have convinced Tim that they could go full out fashion house pricing strategy “we priced super high so people that want spend a lot can”.
hopefully that’s a lesson Tim learns. Let Angela run the stores, let the professionals run the business.
I also find it interesting that when Tim hired Browett to run the stores, a guy who was well known for being a penny-pincher, who then did all these anti-employee things which caused Apple Store employees to quit, blog, or try to form unions, that after the goal of cost reduction was achieved, Browett was fired, issued an apology, but it’s not like Tim went back and reversed those policies.
So, Arhendts recently made some very public announcements about her being “non-technical”. Around the same time, the prices of all the products shot up. How much do you want to bet that when Apple more or less realizes that their “innovative” pricing is bullshit, then she becomes the fall person? It’s not like the public knows that head of retail doesn’t set prices! But it’s great to have a scapegoat if you’re incompetent!
I am certain that she doesn’t set the prices, nor does she issue directives on cost versus profit.
