Apple ≠ Sony: Why Apple Can Succeed Post-Jobs (crunchgear?)
While I often prefer to watch analysts hoist themselves with their own petard, it's not often that one dumps out a bit of drivel so short-sighted as George Colony at Forrester. In short, Colony believes that Apple is the next Sony - a desiccated organization that has nothing new to offer the world. While he's right about Sony, he's wrong about Apple. Analysts, to be fair, do know a thing or two about a thing or two. I'm sure he's great at plumbing financial data and picking expensive steaks. But in this _Forbes_ piece he cites Max Weber's Theory of Social And Economic Organization, a book that I read in college but haven't had the time to peruse of late. Weber, writing in 1947, breaks organizations down into legal/bureaucratic, traditional, and charismatic. Weber probably knew from charismatic considering his _demi monde_, but I doubt his version of charismatic leader - “he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities" - is applicable in any case in our modern business climate.
