A company that currently has more cash funds available than the Federal Reserve and looks like it will keep on growing. Even though they lost their biggest asset, Steve Jobs, to a tragic death due to illness, Tim Cook seems like the right man to keep Steve’s vision alive. Steve Jobs had a vision of making Apple Inc. a cultural force through differentiation and style of his products. He was responsible for bringing out those innovative products that we all love: the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Jobs wanted to reposition the company and take advantage of the consumers who were becoming more tech-friendly and taking on a more digital lifestyle. Apple’s first big move was the iPod. The portable digital music player was the first time that Apple took on another market away from its business core, computers. Right from the start the product was a huge hit. The two factors that made the iPod stand over their competitors were the memory capability and its sleek design. The first iPod could store around 1,000 songs when other MP3 players in the market could only store around an hour of music. The iPod quickly took over the market taking a 70% market share in the MP3 player industry. Another big factor that benefited the iPod was that it worked with both...

...goods daily. In fact, most of the success relies on technology for almost every aspect of their business. Although there are many types of technology available, going digital doesn't have to intimidate business owners. It can all be broken down into understandable chunks of functionality. Wal-Mart systems keep track of every item in their inventory, ensuring they do not run out of stock or order too much. When new inventory arrives, the system is updated to reflect the additions and when it is sold, it is deducted from the totals. Wireless devices are now capable of doing everything from making a phone or talking over a “walkie-talkie” to using the Internet or company network to run applications and send memos. Wireless technology is quickly evolving, with products like the iPad and Blackberry taking the place of paper and writing utensils, distributing information immediately from any location where a signal is available. While new technology can empower employees in ways that were never even dreamed of five years ago, it's important to remember that most new software and equipment requires some sort of a learning curve and adjustment period during which productivity will not be at its peak.

...lawyers will probably have to work hard to give his statements a positive SPIN. The potential damages — around $350 million — are a pittance for a company that in its last quarter had an $8.5 billion profit. Executives are often told by their lawyers to be careful what they put in writing for fear it will end up as evidence in a courtroom. Perhaps Mr. Jobs did not get the memo. His emails in past lawsuits — a mix of blunt litigation threats against his opponents and cheery FINANCIAL promises for potential business partners — have made him an exceptional witness against his own company, even beyond the grave.

Since the development of the personal handheld device (PDA), access to any online reference material or clinical guideline at the tip of one’s fingers will make all the difference in delivering quality patient-centered care.
