Former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, Has Died
what happen to apple now ?
considering Apple has been run by Tim Cook and Cook making all the decisions for the last few months..I'd assume just fine. Tim Cook has been around with Steve for some time..they will be perfectly fine.

The fact of the matter is that traditionally corporations run by charismatic frontmen who become the public face of the company tend to have problems after that charismatic leader dies.....
KFC had difficulty adjusting to life without Colonel Sanders (and some would say they still haven't figured out how to adjust to it)
Wendy's has had trouble dealing with the death of Dave Thomas
Microsoft has been struggling without Bill Gates
Ford struggled for years to get past the death of Henry Ford
The examples could be multiplied....

I would tend to agree with this. Apple was completely lost without Steve Jobs at the helm before.
Not to say that this would happen again, but keeping this massive momentum that they have going forward will be tough. I wish them the best 😁

Okay? All those companies you mentioned are still around today so whats your point? From what I understand Steve had been battling pancreatic cancer which is very aggressive and there is currently no treatment that will cure that form of cancer. The man had been trying to run a company and deal with a terrible illness. Apple may go through some struggles but they will be fine. RIP Steve.

This is indeed tragic news in the tech world and yes, Apple will remain for some time. However, Apple relied heavily on Steve for his eloquence, vision, leadership and technical prowness as well as his cunning marketing approach. Apple will definitely have to implement much harder working abilities to overcome the loss of Steve Jobs. It was his presence at the helm, that saved the company from extinction.

Apple will not be ok, going foward they will falter and stumble. Eventually they will become a normal technology company such as LG and Sony. Steve Jobs was the force behind Apple which is why without him they will not be the magical company. Jobs made Apple the number company in the world I doubt they will be number one without him.

I think my point is quite clear....
Apple is a 'Steve centric' company, talk to an Apple employee and you are likely to hear them say something like 'my job is to implement Steve's vision'.....
It is kind of hard to get by without that kind of extreme focus.....
