a) Why has Apple been so successful? What do you attribute its success to?
b) Is there a systematic approach to innovation at Apple? If yes, how would you characterise it? Can it be imitated? If no, why not?
c) Imagine that Apple's management is running your organisation - or the last organisation you have worked for. What would that be like? What would change? What obstacles would be encountered? What would it be like to work there?
