Will Apple Organization Structure resist to Steve Job's resigning?

The "change" is an unavoidable characteristic of every organization.  Things change, people changes, world changes, organizations change.

Steve Jobs, after the launch of the iPad, said about the Apple's DNA:


Technology alone is not enough. It's technology married with the liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields the results that makes our hearts sing.

Nowhere is that more true than in these post-PC devices...that need to be even easier to use than a PC, that need to be even more intuitive than a PC; and where the software and the hardware and the applications need to intertwine in an even more seamless way than they do on a PC.

We think we are on the right track with this. We think we have the right architecture not just in silicon but in the organization to build these kinds of products."



Does Apple have the "right architecture in the organization" to serially continue to compete in this world? The collection of evidence begins today.


Will Jobs's greatest creation be any Apple product or will it be Apple itself?
