從設計、組織、管理、行銷、人才到思考方式
　　最全面、完整的蘋果機密大公開。

　　《財星》資深主編帶你了解：全世界最神秘的企業，為何也是最會賺錢的企業？

　　當企業界的主流是走向透明化，蘋果的做法卻是搞神秘。蘋果做生意的手法以及高層管理公司的方式，完全無視於多年來商學院的諄諄教誨。商學院告訴我們，「好的管理」必須授權給他人，但蘋果的執行長卻是大小事一手包辦。蘋果的員工被要求服從命令，而不是提供意見。人們不禁要問，蘋果是獨一無二的特例，又或者蘋果風格是業界應該仿效的對象？

　　全世界都熱愛蘋果的產品，但其實很少有人了解蘋果如何做出來，也不知道蘋果如何行銷。要解答這個問題，最好先了解在蘋果工作究竟是什麼樣子？──蘋果的領導者如何領導？公司如何讓技術小組互相競爭？蘋果幫員工安排的獨特職涯發展方式（或是根本沒有），又是怎麼一回事？

　　本書試圖溜進蘋果緊閉大門的世界，面面俱到且深入描寫蘋果的事業大將與經營體制。它不只描述蘋果的昨日與今日，還探究了明日，寫出蘋果邁入「後賈伯斯時代」的過程，包括賈伯斯訓練出的高階經理、那群有天份的人，在失去賈伯斯領導後將要面對的挑戰。

　　INSIDE APPLE reveals the secret systems, tactics and leadership strategies that allowed Steve Jobs and his company to churn out hit after hit and inspire a cult-like following for its products.

　　If Apple is Silicon Valley’s answer to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, then author Adam Lashinsky provides readers with a golden ticket to step inside. In this primer on leadership and innovation, the author will introduce readers to concepts like the “ DRI” (Apple’s practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top 100 (an annual ritual in which 100 up-and-coming executives are tapped a la Skull & Bones for a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).

　　Based on numerous interviews, the book offers exclusive new information about how Apple innovates, deals with its suppliers and is handling the transition into the Post Jobs Era. Lashinsky, a Senior Editor at Large for Fortune, knows the subject cold: In a 2008 cover story for the magazine entitled The Genius Behind Steve: Could Operations Whiz Tim Cook Run The Company Someday he predicted that Tim Cook, then an unknown, would eventually succeed Steve Jobs as CEO.
　　
　　While Inside Apple is ostensibly a deep dive into one, unique company (and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, employees and competitors), the lessons about Jobs, leadership, product design and marketing are universal. They should appeal to anyone hoping to bring some of that Apple magic to their own company, career, or creative endeavor.
