you don't seem to know the facts correctly. Nokia was about to be destroyed before a new CEO came and decided to go for the mobile industry. Also earlier in their history in the 70s they were saved by entering the digital network switch industry.

According to stuff I just googled up, Nokia was founded in 1865. The current CEO was appointed in 2006. Accounting for many years of hard times, that means the company did okay without the current CEO for 100 years, at least. Meanwhile, Apple has never had a good year unless Jobs was at the helm. He's not just the CEO appointed 100 years after the company got started, he is the founder. Given the track record of the multiple CEOs the company had during his absence, it's easy to make the case that nobody can run Apple but Jobs. Apple is made from Steve Jobs' DNA. So, sorry, but I think it's you who don't seem to know the facts correctly.
