HUAWEI,a chinese maker of telecommunications equipment,overtook Ericsson to be the world biggest one in 2012.Being able to become the top-3 telecoms-equipment-maker around the world in 20 years,HUAWEI really has its strong points.However,it still has a long way to go.

By using the SWOT,we can analyse:

Strengths: low price and innovation in network technology.Weaknesses:financial limit(private company),poor corporate image.Opportunities:fast-growing telecommunication industry,a monopoly market has not formed.Threats:be consider as a threat to Western countries’ security,participation being blocked.

From the SWOT,we can conclude that if HUAWEI want to explore its international market,the first thing to do is to eliminate stereotype and gain trust from western countries.Also,since many telecoms-equipment -makers have built factories in Third-world countries,low prince will no longer to be a powerful strength,which require HUAWEI to focus more on innovation and management system.

It is recently reported in China that the pre-installed apps in android cellphones has post a great threat to personal information security of the users.

According to statistics,a new android phone will be pre-installed about 10-20 apps,which can not be uninstalled by users.Most of these apps will not be used in daily life,but they take a lot memory size and affect the speed of cellphone running.These apps will run automatically when the cellphone is switched on, which would not only affect the running speed but also make the mobile data usage reach its limit easily.

Research shows that both mobile agents and marketers can get profit by pre-installing apps,about 1-1.5 RMB each.It is a lack of business ethics because they ignore the interests of consumers.Additionally,android phones may lose their customers because compared with iPhone does not have these boring pre-installed apps.Even most android phone company are using cost leadership strategy,they should also focus more on customer relationship.

If a company can stop pre-install these useless apps,there is a great possibility to gain customers from its competitors
