Wow, look at that, Apple stock hits all-time high, just because of its iPad shipment announcement? It's interesting because most of people don't like the iPad at first, they said they were disappointed with it. Until today, even most of them didn't touch it, the market seems to like the iPad. Has the indicator changed? (About this change, you may want to read this: "The Apple iPad: First Impressions" by David Pogue, The New York Times columnist) However, today I don't want to talk about Apple stock.
Every time I hear media talking about Apple and its success, I feel confused and funny. They always focus on Steve Jobs. But the truth is that there is no second Steve Jobs. And Apple's success is not just because of him or the ID team. They are part of the keystone, but not all of it. I think that today Apple runs like a Fortune 500 company(actually, they are) because they got a good operation team and its leader: Tim Cook.
You may say "Who is Tim Cook? I know Steve Jobs and Johnathan Ive, they are artists. They create and design works of art. It's so cool!" However, we talk about business, even we don't like Apple's business side(the dark side?) that much. But come on, wake up, media and scholars, don't just focus on Steve Jobs. Please, do some research into Apple's operation team and how they manage this company. And stop talking about that innovation stuff. If you know that how Steve Jobs thinks about innovation, you won't to be dare to do so.
