Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired—And Secretive—Company Really Works

En savoir plus sur le livre

INSIDE APPLE unveils the systems, tactics, and leadership strategies that enabled Steve Jobs and his company to consistently produce successful products and cultivate a devoted following. Author Adam Lashinsky offers readers an exclusive glimpse into what makes Apple tick, likening it to Silicon Valley's own Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. This insightful exploration introduces key concepts such as the DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) approach, where every task is assigned to a specific person, and the Top 100, an annual gathering of promising executives for a secret retreat with Jobs. Drawing from numerous interviews, the book provides fresh insights into Apple's innovation processes, supplier relationships, and its transition into the Post Jobs Era. As a Senior Editor at Large for Fortune, Lashinsky has extensive knowledge of the subject; he accurately predicted Tim Cook's rise to CEO in a 2008 cover story. While focused on Apple and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, and competitors, the lessons on leadership, product design, and marketing resonate universally. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to infuse their own endeavors with a touch of Apple’s unique magic.
