A bit of coincidence that I picked up the this book today and could immediately relate this to the "Exponential" innovation by Apple and *Steve Jobs*, who btw would have celebrated his 69th birthday today. Interesting to see how Apple transformed the digital mobile and music industry, and then examples of Henry Ford applying the car manufacturing lines from the meat packaging industry, or YouTube starting off as a dating site..and many more.. Essence being there are examples all around us from totally different businesses and industries, that we can apply to ours !

"Apple, Sued," STB&S Roundtable, 12 PM - 1 PM US EST, Friday, March 29, 2024 Do you enjoy Apple’s products? Do you feel trapped in Apple’s “walled garden”? Do you think Apple’s business model hurts competition and competitors? How? Do you think Apple is exploiting an “illegal monopoly”? What remedy do you suggest for thwarting the market and economic power of Apple? Other “Big Tech” players? Is it high time to make Big Tech a tad less “Big”? For answers, join this Friday's roundtable. Cheers, Anirudh. https://lnkd.in/gcDFaxhf

In 1985, Apple removed Steve Jobs from the company. Initially, the company was doing well. 1985: $2B in sales, $61M in profits 1986: $2B in sales, $154M in profits. The revenues and profits kept increasing until 1996. 1996 saw $9B in sales (growth down by 11%) but a loss of $816M. 1997 saw $7B in sales and a staggering loss of $1B. Steve Jobs had to be brought back. Without him, the company wasn't surviving. He came, he conquered. 1998 saw $6B in revenue and $309M in profits. 1999 saw the same revenue, but profits increased to $601M. And then there is no stopping by. Revenues and profits kept increasing, and it's now the 2nd most valuable company in the world. __ Follow Arin Verma Read my weekly newsletter with link in comments.
