From the Paper:
"The underlying system components that Apples' Operation Systems rely on for keeping demand from all selling channels in coordination to supply chain systems is their global distributed order management system, direct selling forecasting system, indirect selling forecasting system, pricing management system, and services system that handles both music-based and computer-based or Macintosh systems.
