As we all know, Steve Jobs, Apple’s irreplaceable CEO, has passed away on October 5th. Steve Jobs was the co-founder of Apple along with Steve Wozniack in a garage. However, he was “forced” to resign in 1985 when the Board of Directors sided with John Sculley and striped Steve Jobs’ managerial powers. But in 1997, Steve was back as the interim CEO of Apple when the company was going downhill. As the CEO, Steve released the iMac and iPod, which helped the company recover from its financial crisis. Afterwards, Steve led Apple to success with the release of the iPhone and the iPad, making Apple briefly the most valuable company in the world.

Now, questions arise about Apple’s future. Will Apple be able to continue conquering the market, or will they fall once again? Apparently, Steve Jobs left Apple four years worth of plans, hoping to ensure success for Apple after his death.

Is that healthy? Will a company fall just because of his absence? According to many SWOT analysis done for Apple, its strengths and opportunities should overshadow its weakness, even if Steve Jobs left without leaving plans for Apple. Will they succeed?

Only time will tell
