6. Vision
Λ Apple’s current vision statement was introduced by CEO Tim Cook, who stated,
“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.”
