The construction of the electric motor station

Electric automobiles launched couple of years ago, but they were hard to reach out in the huge vehicle market. However, today, the electric cars are like a storm, attcks every corner in the world, and tell people that they are the revolution.

TSLA has already started thinking of building up the electric motors’ station in order to fulfil those electric cars’ users just like the regular driver, which is about letting them spot the pumping-up place anywhere. Setting the recharge electric station down to satisfy those people that who may lose their power during driving on the way. Therefore, it significantly makes ” electric drivers ” feel more comfortable just as people can charge for their cell phones and laptops all over the world.

People may think it’s not worthy because the amount of electric automobile drives is still extremely tiny comparing to the gasoline users. Whereas, what if electric motors developed as the second biggest industry, certainly the amount of consumers will get rapidly increased with no doubt. Thus, I supposed that the automobile market should give more chances to this new thriving industry because it has a huge potential to become the mainstream in the future.

Purchasing a fancy space in the airline?

The market of airline nowadays is worldwide, which does not only mean more and more air-transportation are exceed demanded but also it indicates that more comfortable space is wanted. Thus, in order to satisfy people’s unlimited desire of comfort, Delta started to provide unsold seat paid by customers with extra charge of money.

According to the referenced article, it says for the rationalized airline industries these days, the efficient way of surviving is to remove some of the seats in order to sort of maximize the value of a plane’s real estate. In the past, airlines used to discount the empty seat in case that they wont lose very much benefit. On the contrary, the trend currently is to get those empty seats sold. On one hand, they can build a long stand reputation because consumers may enjoy much more than ever in the planes. On the other hand, there is no doubt that this is profitable marketing strategy.

However considering the passenger load, it might not be that ideal. With paying extra amount of money for getting fancier space while being either travelling or business trip, the people who can afford extra price based on the economic class is supposed to be able to pay for the higher class in a airline. Although it’s reasonable to make this kind of deal with passengers, the risk that Delta is taking is the fall of the numbers of customers gradually.

Therefore, in terms of what article mentions, I suppose what Delta has been doing these days is a smart move. We may not see the financial effect of this implement as much soon as we expected but it’s definitely remarkably helpful for the long term development of this airline firm.

Does creativity matter more than money in a technological company?

As Steve Jobs, a epic giant who had ever stand on the top of the tech mountain, died two years ago and new CEO of Apple.Inc came into public’s eyesight, people started thinking of the capacity of this new controller of the biggest technology cooperation in the world. Within this two-year, Samsung.Inc and some other smartphone giants have relatively generated many threats that Apple might have been facing. Although Apple still remains its no.1 position in the technology market, it still needs to consider the future strategy in order to confront the barriers set by other companies.

There is recently a debate about if iphone 5S is roughly worth 700 dollars because the only feature that differs from iPhone 5 is the finger print distinctiveness system. In the past, as the heart of Apple.Inc, Steve Jobs gave people surprises and amazements all because the new generation of iPhone were always completed redesigned comparing to the previous generation. New add-ups, more available apps, different updated system versions, more cautious appearance, etc. After all listed iPhone things released to public, there was no doubt that all consumers’ attention were fully grabbed. In spite of these, iTunes also can be regarded as the most successful online store through all smartphone markets. Steve Jobs put his fully passion into Apple products’ proposition, which greatly improved Apple’s image as a whole.

However, the new CEO mainly respect to stock trading price and regard the biggest market as China, which sort of indicates that Apple is getting greedy of earning money. In this case, although we shouldn’t judge how a CEO does for the company’s development, we should critically think of the proposition of this product, which is all about being creative.

Thus, does creativity matter more than money in a technological company? The best-worked bias was that Apple should start focusing on the process of generating more profit. Speaking of this on the other hand, it’s suggested the leadership of Apple should make more profitable deals. Personally, I would like to say being creative and trendy are much more significant of running a technology organization. Because of the evolutional idea people has never had, because of the furious theme of a smartphone and also because of the attractive design of every single product, Apple were way to better off. Therefore, I personally think creativity is definitely much more essential for a technological company.
