01 Steve Jobs: The Man, The Business, The Legacy
With the second anniversary of his death coming up, this week we look at Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and the legacy he’s left behind. As one of the most famous companies in the world, Apple Inc. needs no introduction, but how did the American company get to where it is now? We look at Steve Jobs’ &rs\\ldquo;inspirational” leadership, what Apple should be doing with their profits, and how the company is affecting organisations around the globe with the “Apple-ization” of the Enterprise.
