Apple Leaving No Quarters for Suppliers
Apple Leaving No Quarters for Suppliers
2016 - 09 - 01
Even for a company as rick like Apple, cutting price and order volume is a must, leaving no quarters for its suppliers.
Apple再怎樣富可敵國，照樣雙刀砍（砍價格、砍單量）；活不下去？你家大事，干我啥事。
Apple suppliers say the Cupertino, Calif., company has told them to accept price cuts for parts destined for the next-generation iPhone while cutting forecasts for order volume.
那這張圖又代表什麼呢?
由於iPhone已經是個無聊的產品了；上一季，供應鏈裡各家公司的淨利都跌。蘋果本身掉27%，富士康31%，大立光27%，可成26.4%，和碩14.3%，台積電8.7%
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Ltd., said its operating margin slid to 2.3% from 3.4% in the second quarter from a year earlier.
富士康的茅山道士（毛利率3到4%）也守不住了。現在，是2.3%

The Effectiveness of Start-Up Incubators and Accelerators
Building incubators or accelerators has become a thing in Taiwan. Even governments have allocated funds in the business. 近來在台灣，設育成中心或加速器，變成了顯學，連政府都挹注公部門的資源下來一起做。這二個同樣都屬於「幫早期的創業者長大」的概念，彼此該如何劃分，尚非本文重點；在此僅針對我們所觀察到的怪象，略作省思。 現在從北到南的育成中心，都在做些什麼? (1) 提供Co-working space，一定期間免租金 (2) 提供講師、相關課程 (3) 自己投資一點點資源或資金，再提供與投資人媒合的機會 至於那些「嘴砲打很大、小孩生不出、付錢辦領養」的「掛榜」育成，和三流補習班買考上建中台大的名單有什麼差別? 純粹丟人現眼，在此就不提了。 先檢討上述(1), (2), (3)三項。 〔問〕Co-working space有沒有用? 不能說完全沒有。但重不重要? 〔答〕當然不重要。蛤? 「我還以為創業育成中心主要就是在提供這個啊」?…
