For my final undergraduate business paper, I wrote an analysis of Apple as it transforms into a mobile company. I am posting it here in its entirety (except for financial exhibits) below. Especially since they released the iPhone in 2007, Apple has been spectacularly successful. In 2009, sales totaled more than $36 billion, compared to just $5.3 billion in 2001, and their market capitalization is nearing Microsoft’s. This growth is driven by incredible iPhone and iPod touch sales and Windows users switching to Macs. In second quarter 2010, for example, Mac sales increased by thirty-three percent.

5 Warnings About So-called Corporate Culture | Small Business Trends
There’s some great advice here. I really like Lisa’s list of major factors in corporate culture and innovation. And who’d want to argue with Tony and Zappos’ success? But meanwhile, good as that advice is, I can’t resist adding some warnings about old-fashioned implementation, particularly as corporate culture applies to small business. 1. Culture isn’t Corporate in small business We shouldn’t write about corporate culture in small businesses because small businesses do have their unique cultures but they aren’t corporate. There’s a real difference between culture as you and I deal with it in small business, and ...

Some weeks ago I went to an event attended, also, by three local Republican Congressmen. It was one of those festive occasions in which we were all expected to be of good cheer and talk about the good times to come with upcoming electoral gains. It would be a new era, we were told, if only we could bring Republicans to Congress in greater numbers. The leader of our local delegation urged us to be generous with our support and our dollars so we could turn the tide of Democratic depredation. “For twelve years, you had firm majorities in the House and Senate and for six of those years you also had the ...

The fundamental issue that seems to be emerging with Toyota is a classic CYA problem. They knew they had an issue, but chose to try to keep it quiet rather than dealing with it immediately. And, as pretty much always happens in that scenario, it ended up blowing up spectacularly instead. To me, this suggests a breakdown in the lean culture, rather than a failing in lean itself.

From my own experience, I also wonder if Toyota has had trouble translating lean ...
