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."

They are commodity now. The nick-nacks they sell are RIO based toys(most profitable). I don't know why anyone would be concerned with how apple grooms it's "leadership". Taken from the book of 'who gives a shit'- please move along. The leadership of apple.. OMG.. haha. You guys kill me. 2% is called an outlier, not a point on a graph.
