throwing around idea's for stories this morning with Peter, and a concept came up, which lead to a question.
...If Apple were to fire CEO Steve Jobs from the company, would that necessarily be the downfall of the company?...
Through our conversation I think we've come to some conclusions and also opened up some questions to be asked in the future.
Questions:
1. Considering the products currently being released where already in the pipes for the company. So has Steve really innovated anything at the company other then being one hell of a hype machine?
2. Once the product lines get elderly (seriously how long till one iMac just looks like the one next to it?) what new products short of a holographic display system will start the company anew
Who knows what the future holds for this company, i think that now more than ever we must hold some criticism for this company especially as it grows into the future
Conclusions:
Apple will probably do fine with the current market saturation and word of mouth dispersion that if Steve left nothing would change except the company would lose a mouthpiece
Product lines will be continue on track as they have been for the past couple of quarters (this is talking in the sense that Steve has already left) Johnathan Ives gets promoted to head of Product R&D industrial design, Phil Schiller takes over as the CEO of apple and its business as usual.
