- Synopsis
- This case reveals the genesis of the Apple Stores, a revolutionary retail concept launched by Ron Johnson, Apple Computer's senior vice president of retail. In January 2002, Apple Computer was at the eve of one of the most stunning commercial successes ever known in consumer markets. The case details how the retail strategy emerged as a keystone of Apple's overall strategy to support the digital lifestyle of its customers. By analyzing the stores' most innovative elements and discussing the implied management challenges, students reach a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted role of distribution channels in contemporary marketing. The case is an ideal vehicle to understand how the different stages of the marketing process (analysis, strategy, implementation) can be tightly integrated for maximum impact. It also raises interesting issues in consumer behavior: the processes of consumer engagement, empowerment, and conversion to purchase.
