    1. No, not at all.
      As my colleagues answered, it does not have the three important attributes of the "azienda" and as Annalisa Carosi said: what will happen to this activity if the smartphone in question will be out-of-date and obsolete?
      It is just a temporary activity. I mean in a year when a higher and more up-to-date iPhone will be released, what will they do then? It is an economic activity that cannot count on surviving for a long-term.

    2. No, I do not agree. Not only because it does not have the three important attributes but also because the this would only be a short term activity. Technology is developing day by day so it could never survive on a long term.

    4. In oder to be an azienda a business should comply with 3 attributes that compose an azienda, which are: 1) the economicisty, related with efficiency and effectiveness, 2) it is a system, 3) it takes autonomous decisions. If we analyze the example we have it doesn't comply with the 1st and 2nd point. In this example the owner can fix the pockets in order to fit iphone 6, but it doesn't mean it will continue for a long period. It is for a short period of time, and maybe not everybody accept to change their pockets. It is an individual business, maybe with an innovative and fast idea, but it is not an azienda.

  2. No, because it's a temporary service offered by another private company, so it doesn't possess the existential standards of an azienda, it looks more like a critic towards the new Apple's smartphone bending problem.

  3. It can not be considered an azienda, because it hasn't the 3 attributes of it.
    I think is only an economc activity that produces something that users would need and would want; so it will obtain profits.

  4. No, this is not absolutely an azienda for several factors.
    1) The organization is not making profit for an indefinite length of time, because obviously Apple in few years will create the new version of IPhone considering different sizes and dimensions.
    2) They can not be considered as azienda because, at the moment, they could be successful but they are still controlled and related to Apple and Apple's customers. Once the IPhone 6 won't be the most desired smartphone the company should not find
    anymore customers looking for a pocket-extension.
    3) Reinforcing the previous concept if for whatever reason Apple would collapse they won't be able to find so many demands for their services.

  5. This isn't an Azienda, beacause it doesn't respect the three attributes that define it properly.
    Their service is linked to an another bigger company, the Apple. They had a business idea that satisfies a really specific needs, that one which concerns only the production of I-phone 6. In terms of lenght, the survival and existence of that organization is really precarious. What will they do when that technology would be outdated?
    Maybe, if they would build an Azienda that produces pants with bigger pockets specifically adapted to different kinds of technological products they would be more successful and survey for a longer period as an Azienda should do.

  6. It depends. If this business idea was related to a company which produces comfortable pocket suitable for smartphones or any technological device, so we could define it an azienda ( considering that in the video we saw that this business idea was born thanks to the new iphone 6 created by Apple, but it doesn't mean that it couldn't represents the start of a new activity not just related to iphone 6 but also to other devices).
    Indeed we could say that this azienda has all the three attributes:
    1) it's a coordinated system with labour and capital never separated.
    2) it has decision-making autonomy since it's not subjected to another company and its products are directly intended to the final consumer.
    3) it operates with economicity since it produces suitable products which satisfy a spread need.

    In my opinion this is not an azienda because it's just an organization that doesn't want to survive. Apple doesn't need to create a new type of business ( as the business we watched in the video ) because everyone is going to buy the I-phone 6 even without considering the dimension of the mobile-phone. In Fact, as we can see, everyone was complaining about the I-phone 6 after they bought it while they could of realized , just looking at the phone , that the dimensions were too big before buying it . This happen because buying the new I-phone has became a psycological need. I'm also sure that Apple will realize the next I-phone taking in consideration the complaints of their clients.

  8. I don’t think this can be considered as an azienda, because one of the condition for an organization to be an azienda is its existence in an indefinite period of time. In this case, the activity is strictly connected to the existence of a single product belonging to a single azienda. Once it will be abandoned by customers, this organization won’t have a need to satisfy anymore.

  9. In my opinion it cannot be considered an azienda, because it does not respect two of the three attributes which define a proper azienda. In fact, this service is strictly linked to another product, which is the Apple iPhone 6. In my opinion, even though this service it is not directly controlled by Apple, it does not have its autonomy, because it takes advantage of the success of this new iPhone. So it is not an organization meant to survive for a long time, but just to satisfy some temporary needs.

  10. It depends, considering it an azienda is not an error because of the 3 factors. It's also important to say that is more a business idea than an azienda for the reason that is hitting.

  11. The azienda is an organization that possesses three attributes: 1) Systemic coordination; 2) Decision-making autonomy; 3) Economicity. It isn't an azienda because it is missing the first point. Infact the azienda is an organization with a long life-time. I believe that he's only a craftsman.

  12. No , it isnt an azienda because it doesnt have those 3 attributes , its a great ideea and I think it can be classified as an economic activity .

    ReplyDelete
  13. Personally, I have to admit it is a fantastic idea, so funny! But looking to the economic aspect, it cannot be an azienda because its existence depends on that of another company: decision-making autonomy misses at all. But if it was a way to advertise the Dutch company KPN, I think it would be extremely genial in order to gain new customers.

  14. Genial and innovative Idea , efficient because people prefer futile things so it is inclined to get profit in a short period but intended to the failure when they won't have new ideas .But we cannot define it as an azienda because it does not respect the structure of the real azienda.

  15. According to me the right answer is: It depends. Because even if this business is linked to another big company as the Apple it has all the three attributes of an azienda. It is a system: it have a tailor that makes bigger the pockets, it has employees(girls which gives the bathrobes to the customers). It have decision-making autonomy: it decide to risk with this business linked with a big company like Apple that won't stop iPhone6 Plus Production soon, and it decided to satisfy a customers needs to create a big pocket for a big phone. And, at least, it have economicity because it have a big effectiveness because ALL the guys that buy iPhone 6 Plus needs that pocket, and also efficiency because this business just need a needle a tailor and maybe 1 or two girls.
    But it's true that one day, maybe, Apple stop the production of this product so maybe this business end, so this kind of azienda doesn't have a long-life period but in the short time I think that we should talk about an azienda

  16. I think that it cannot be considered an azienda because his business is too strictly bounded to products of others entities. So I think that also if in a near future there were only telephone with big screen probably all the firms producing slacks will fix the pockets themself

  17. It's a very nice idea this ''fast business idea'' but as we well know an Azienda hasn't a short life time and this idea will work for how much time? one week?one month?Then first of all Azienda must be a system ,must have making decision power and it must operate with economicity. This fast business idea can't operate with economicity because of the short life time that doesn't let it to achieve economic equilibrium.

  18. honestly, i don't think it satisfies the elements and characteristics of an azienda,also in my opinion over the long run it 's gonna have som problems in generating income

  19. no because it's not sustainable for long term.

  20. I totally agree with my class mates. It absolutely cannot be classified as an azienda because as time passes technology develops day by day, this consequently means that this could be an investment only in the short run, and absolutely not in the long run........

    It depends. This is definitely a brilliant idea that solves the error of a big company like Apple! The tailor will surely have a high gain in the short term. The only problem is that surely's business will not be successful in a long time, as it has a limited clientele (buyers Iphone 6) and little chance of being competitive over time. The problem in fact will be solved definitely by Apple. However, if the tailor extend its activities to other interests and needs of consumers and could satisfy them, then, could create the conditions for a company. In this particular case, however, its activity does not have the attributes that a company should have.

    To answer this question we need to verify if this business idea presents all the 3 attributes of the azienda.
    1. Systemic coordination: it is not an organization with a long life-time.
    2. Decision-making autonomy: the organization's objective is subjective to the direction of other organizations (Apple).
    3. Economicity: the organization operates with effectiveness and efficiency, BUT it is not enough to say that it is an azienda.
    So the answer is no, it is not an azienda.

  23. No it's not a agenda because it doesn't fulfil the 3 characters of agenda.Besides it doesn't ran for a long time:-)

  24. It depends. In fact an azienda to be classified in such way has to possess three fundamental characteristics:
    1) Systemic coordination. As I can observe it probably haven’t a long-time life
    2) Decision-making autonomy. It may have this attribute but it is surely linked to the Apple
    3) Economicity. It is efficient and effective as I saw and this is accentuated because of its easy way to satisfy customer’s needs. But it isn’t sufficient to be classified as an azienda

  25. It's not an azienda because this business idea wouldn't last in the long term. It can only benefit in the short term due to the current fad.

  26. No, we cannot consider it as an azienda because it's not an organization with a long term life.

  27. It is not an azienda . it doesn't have the 3 attributes in it and don't have a long term run.

  28. I don't think it is an azienda because it misses one of the 3 attributes.

  29. it is a individual shop not azianda.

    No because it depend totally on another company and so the second attribute of azienda is missing. The idea is absolutely innovative but it can't be an azienda because it can work only in the short term instead the azienda pretend to last for an indefinitely length of time.

  31. It is not an azienda, because it does not comply with the 3 attributes of azienda. It is not possible to last in a long time, because not everybody has an iphone 6, and the technology changes very fast and people cannot always change the measures of their pockets.
