One notable is that it is amazing that Apple has had the power to "tell" customers what to buy as you have referenced. This innovation domination is what may allow Apple to remain at the top of their game despite the issues that the article raises.
Hi class, this is the Learning Blog for our Marian University International Organizational Behavior class. What I would like to see posted by each student each week is your reaction to a “Ripped from the Headlines” story that related in some way to organizational behavior. Be sure to include a hyperlink to the story you are posting about. Have fun, and start blogging!

Week 1 Prof Steve's Post: The Apple Corporate Culture
Hi class, I will start off the class with a Ripped from the Headlines" post for you all to respond to and use as a model for your future posts. I was personally surprised by the organizational culture at Apple because we all hear about the creativity and innovation at Apple but seldom here of the employee issues or cultural environment at play in the company. Apple has always been able to pay their people way above the norm to attract and keep the best talent. The stock options have been well documented with the number of millionaire secretaries in the heyday of the company. Their continual innovation generates the prestige that motivates the creative minds they employ. http://viewfromthemountain.typepad.com/applepeels/2005/07/the_apple_corpo.html
