How do you explain the Apple phenomenon in that case? They keep cranking out new product categories in spite of having ample money in the bank.

- angersock 11y agoApple is not a useful datapoint for anything. It's a company storied and large enough that you can't really learn anything from it. Nobody else is like Apple, except Apple.
- dman 11y agoI dont agree that there is nothing others can learn from Apple. At one point in time, Sony stood apart much in the same way that Apple does now.
- tennysonmach 11y agoYou can build teams that buck the trend, but it requires strict discipline and high-up leadership that's willing to cannibalize existing profit. Apple doesn't hand new product categories 100$ million, they make them prototype repeatedly until they have something worthy of investing full resources in.
