> Is the Economist really implying that Cook, the CEO of Apple, one of the world's largest publicly traded corporations, has not thought about forming a future facing outlook that is comprehensive in its strategy and planning? Looking at Uber, is is really that far fetched that executives are very good at achieving short and medium term success while completely lacking any viable long term vision? Given that even economist cannot predict the future (see the trade war) despite what certain outlets want us to believe, that's not so dumb after all (in the case of Apple).
