3. FOUNDERS
Apple’s history starts with the story
of Stephen G Wozniak and Steven P
Jobs, young and exceptional people
who began building a computer in
their garage and launched the
microcomputer revolution.
4. MISSION
“Apple designs Macs, the best personal
computers in the world, along with OS X,
iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple
leads the digital music revolution with its
iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has
reinvented the mobile phone with its
revolutionary iPhone and App store, and is
defining the future of mobile media and
computing devices with iPad.”
5. VISION
“We believe that we are on the face of the earth to make great
products and that’s not changing. We are constantly focusing on
innovating. We believe in the simple not the complex. We believe
that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind
the products that we make, and participate only in markets where
we can make a significant contribution. We believe in saying no to
thousands of projects, so that we can really focus on the few that
are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep
collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us
to innovate in a way that others cannot. And frankly, we don’t
settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the
company, and we have the self- honesty to admit when we’re
wrong and the courage to change. And I think regardless of who is
in what job those values are so embedded in this company that
Apple will do extremely well.”
