Apple is currently sitting on over a quarter-trillion dollars in cash, and no one really knows what they’re going to do with it if anything. To put that ridiculous amount in perspective, $250 billion dollars is about the entire market value of General Electric. If that cash were its own company, it would be the 11th-largest […]
Apple is the new Microsoft (and here’s why that’s not a bad thing)
In the world of business, you’re either big and slow OR small and fast. Very few companies juggle the tradeoffs of size and speed to become both BIG and FAST.
