Who would buy should have a strategic plan that is credible and can give the impression of success. Also need to have a team of experienced people who were able to carry out this plan. “
During his tenure as Apple , the company reached a good pace, although this fact has been concealed by the frequent and hard collisions of Sculley with Steve Jobs . A root thereof, and l Board of Directors decided to dismiss Jobs after it should give some important discrepancies regarding the strategy to be followed by the company.
