10 Key Ingredients That Have Made Apple So Successful
Apple is one profitable company. The firm announced recently that during the fourth quarter (its fiscal first quarter), it generated a whopping $46.33 billion in revenue and a profit of $13.06 billion. The company’s revenue figure nearly doubled the sales it posted in the same period back in 2010, and its profit was more than double the figure in the prior year. All that has helped Apple grow its cash coffers to nearly $100 billion. Apple’s success is a far cry from its sad state of affairs back in the 1990s. At that time, co-founder Steve Jobs had to step in to fix things, and there was a point when industry observers weren’t sure if Apple’s doors would be padlocked or not. But through hard work, tough choices, and some really neat ideas, Steve Jobs was able to turn things around at Apple. Now, the company is the world’s largest, and its profitability is soaring. How has Apple achieved such profitability? Here’s a look.

10 Reasons RIM`s New CEO Won`t Fix the Company
Research In Motion, at long last, has a new CEO in Thorsten Heins. The two men he replaces, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, led the company through its most difficult times, and according to most investors, did nothing to help the firm weather the storm. Whether or not Heins will be able to change that, however, remains to be seen. If the & Bold Team& is any indication, the answer is probably no. The fact is, Heins sounds like more of the same at RIM, saying that although changes need to be made, he doesn’t believe anything drastic must be done. What’s worse, Heins says that he believes his company’s current mobile strategy is working, and will continue to work, in the coming years. Unfortunately for Heins, he’s just plain wrong. RIM is in deep trouble right now. And the more Heins talks, the more it might make some of the company’s supporters believe he doesn’t have what it takes to make the right moves to save RIM. Here’s a look at why Research In Motion’s new CEO Thorsten Heins won’t be able to fix his ailing mobile company.
