I think  Apple’s biggest asset is its culture and its other longtime employees.


Why do people want to work with Steve Jobs?

People wanted to work there because Jobs possessed an uncanny ability to see the future and channel that to the masses.

Do you think Apple can be successful without Steve Jobs?

I think if Apple can’t be successful without Steve Jobs, because Apple’s biggest asset is its culture and its other longtime employees, and the culture is Jobs take to Apple. We can see Jobs is innovation, he take Apple to be a new company. So I think Apple can’t be successful if Jobs never join Apple. 

Now, Jobs left, but Apple has culture, so I think Apple can take the culture to join a new time, They can be more successful in the future.
