Apple Grooming Next Gen of Executives

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday April 27, 2006 @07:04AM from the execs-2.0 dept.

capt turnpike writes "The modern Apple as we know it -- the good one with open-source Darwin, with Unix-based OS X, and so on -- was mainly the creation of NeXT: Steve Jobs, Avie Tevanian and Jon Rubenstein. What's going to happen to Apple once this troika leaves? eWEEK.com looks at the orderly transition out of Jon and Avie and asks whether things could go as smoothly should Jobs need to retire." From the article: "At some companies, such a loss of leadership could leave the company with a power vacuum or a lack of direction. However, Apple seems to be conscious that no single person--except, perhaps, CEO Steve Jobs himself--is irreplaceable, and that new talent can always be groomed for the future."

Re:Where are these new managers? by harshmanrob · 2006-04-27 08:26 · Score: 0, Flamebait

On a side note, who in the hell respects "management" is a profession? I mean every management class I ever took in college was "make money, make money, make money" and manipulation of those under you. Organizations like Enron show the goal of most managers, make an assload of money and screw everyone you possibly can to get it. Look at the management of the US. Should I respect those jokers? It sounds like you are a newbie in the IT field and management and it looks like you have a lot of learning to do.
