However, there are states that have adopted broad-based merit aid programs outside of the Southeast. Guided by multiple theoretical frameworks, including innovation diffusion theory (e.g., Gray, 1973, 1994; Rogers, 2003), Roberts and King’s (1991) typology of public entrepreneurs, and Anderson’s (2003) stages of the policymaking process, this qualitative study sought to answer the following questions.

  • 13-0399 JBM Journal Special Issue Vol 19.Indd
    Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld 59 Steve Jobs’ Immortal Quest and the Heroic Persona Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld Yale University October 2011 was a month of historic milestones for Apple. At the end of the prior month, on Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent media invitations for a press event to be held October 4, 2011 at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters for a major announcement. Several prominent industry analysts proclaimed with hopeful optimism that the firm would announce the return of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Sadly, Steve Jobs did not appear for what turned out to be a product announcement of the iPhone 4S. In fact, Jobs had stepped down as CEO on January 17, 2011, a year and a half after returning from medical leave. He stated that Tim Cook, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, would run day-to-day operations as he had previously done during Jobs’ 2009 medical leave. The analysts’ wishful thinking had some basis in more than cult like denial of Steve Jobs’ mortality. In fact, despite that medical leave, Jobs had returned for the iPad 2 launch on March 2 and the iCloud introduction on June 6. The analysts were among many constituents around the world who were to be tragically disappointed. Jobs actually had resigned as CEO on August 22, 2011 saying, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come” (Isaacson, 2011). Six weeks later, a day after the new iPhone press conference, he died (Isaacson, 2011).

    CHANGE THE WORLD In 1978, the year that I graduated from high school, in Palo Alto, the name Sili- con Valley was not in use beyond a small group of tech cognoscenti. Apple Computer had incorporated the previous year, releasing the first popular per- sonal computer, the Apple II. The major technology companies made electron- ics hardware, and on the way to school I rode my bike through the Stanford In- dustrial Park, past the offices of Hewlett-Packard, Varian, and Xerox PARC. The neighborhoods of the Santa Clara Valley were dotted with cheap, modern, one-story houses—called Eichlers, after the builder Joseph Eichler—with glass walls, open floor plans, and flat-roofed carports. (Steve Jobs grew up in an imi- tation Eichler, called a Likeler.) The average house in Palo Alto cost about a hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. Along the main downtown street, University Avenue—the future address of PayPal, Facebook, and Google— were sports shops, discount variety stores, and several art-house cinemas, to- gether with the shuttered, X-rated Paris Theatre. Across El Camino Real, the Stanford Shopping Center was anchored by Macy’s and Woolworth’s, with one boutique store—a Victoria’s Secret had opened in 1977—and a parking lot full of Datsuns and Chevy Novas. High-end dining was virtually unknown in Palo Alto, as was the adjective “high-end.” The public schools in the area were ex- cellent and almost universally attended; the few kids I knew who went to pri- vate school had somehow messed up. The Valley was thoroughly middle class, egalitarian, pleasant, and a little boring.

  • The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace
    The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges in the International Marketplace Alberto Garcia Marrero Florida International University The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace ABSTRACT Apple Inc. is one of the world’s leading multinational enterprises as measured by revenue, profits, assets, and brand equity. Its ascent has been rapid but not linear; it has experienced setbacks along the way. This paper will analyze Apple’s evolution over the past decade and future prospects, with an eye toward identifying opportunities and challenges for global expansion. 2 The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace BACKGROUND In 1976, Apple Inc. began as a garage operation by three men: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne (Ellen Terrell, 2008). The entire company was based solely on the engineering genius of Wozniak and the entrepreneurial and innovative genius of Jobs. Wayne sold out his shares of Apple to Jobs and Wozniak. Only weeks after its founding, Jobs and Wozniak were the sole owners of the company when it was fully incorporated in 1977 (Terrell, 2008). The company was based on the design, manufacturing, and selling of a new kind of operating computer designed by Wozniak, revolutionizing the world of the personal computer. Apple I was soon superseded by its successor the Apple II, which became the platform for VisiCalc, the first ever spreadsheet program (Terrell, 2008). Apple saw growth like no other during its first ten years of life as sales, but overall revenue saw an exponential growth every four months.

  • Running Head: APPLE's ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS 1 Apple's Organizational Structure Analysis Name Academic Institutio
    Running head: APPLE’S ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS 1 Apple’s Organizational Structure Analysis Name Academic Institution Author Note Class Professor March 13, 2018 APPLE’S ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS 2 Apple’s Organizational Structure Analysis Lehman and Haslam (2013, p. 245) claim that Apple’s organizational structure has extensively furthered the innovation and successful performance of the firm as a technological company. The organizational structures shaped by the consecutive regimes of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook have again created several opportunities for the business, ranging from innovative human resources practices to business expansion and product differentiation. The mechanistic organizational structure positions leaders to be accountable for the particular functions and objectives. The employees have minimal influence on the operational dimensions the company takes. Apple Inc. has extensively embraced the traditional organizational structure, in which the flow of authority is channeled from defined higher hierarchies to lower ones, or subordinates (Nonala & Kennedy, 1991, p. 68). The succession of Tim Cook after Steve Jobs’s resignation led to the revision of the organizational leadership style and structures to formulate procedures that would suit the dynamic market and industry demands. The decision making is relatively centralized. The president and departmental heads sets goals to be implemented by subordinates to ascertain the organizational efficiency. Nonala and Kennedy (1991, p. 69) reveal that the key concerns for Apple in regard to organizational structure are support for business performance and conformity to rapid and inventive product and performance designs. Apple works to enhance its capabilities to maintain technological industry dominance to increase market share and expand possible ventures.
