The phenomenon of Apple Inc.

On Monday, 13 January, International School Savremena’s Economics and Business students had an opportunity to attend a groundbreaking lecture given by Dr Miloš Petković. The lecturer tried to implement some of the most efficient strategic tools to explain the phenomenon of Apple Inc.

From a garage office to a global corporation

We were all wondering how and why Apple Inc. is so successful. It grew so fast from a garage office to a global corporation which changed the world of communication and technology. 

The lecture was about strategic management case study analysis and its implementation.

Dr Miloš Petković introduced several most important methods of strategic analysis and explained them using Apple Inc. company as an example. The methods and analysis included: PEST analysis, SWAT method, Porter's five competitive forces, and Red and Blue ocean.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
