Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired--and Secretive--Company Really Works Audiobook

" A good insight into the management strategies of apple "

" For a book that was supposed to be able Apple and its business and culture I learned little. Skip it. Buy something Apple instead. "

" The last chapter made me teary-eyed, and finally convinced me that Tim Cook is the right successor to Steve. "

" Inside Apple? An odd title for a book without any insider information - the author wasn't able to interview any current Apple employees. Better titles? Maybe, Outside Apple or Yet Another Book About Apple. "

" Had a few good new nuggets. A quick, enjoyable read. Good info about their product design process, which I am always curious about. "

" An outsider looks inwards. An attempt to understand culture, and how to try to keep it alive in perpetuity. Simply read it as a foil to the biography. "

" It's amazing how little information really gets out of Apple, even for a well-respected journalist like Lashinsky. The book had some good Steve quotes and a smattering of insider information, but really, the era of Total Secrecy at Apple is far from over. By the way, his answer to the question "What will Apple be like without Steve Jobs?": "Who knows? Probably different" "

" This was more of a essay than a book but it was interesting i wish it was longer though. Even though i am not really a apple user I have always thought it was a awesome company and its very interesting to me how it works from the inside. "

" Interesting and informative about the corporate culture of Apple. The book, however, is weakened by its lack of corroboration with reliable testimonies. This cannot be helped due to Apple's incredible shroud of secrecy. "

" Condensed, this book is about how important Steve Jobs is to Apple. "

" A good read, but for how short it was, it still felt too long. Not quite enough substance for me. "

" There was some interesting bits, but it felt like a long article the got stretched to a book by inserting more gossip. "

" An interesting read, but not a whole lot of new information, especially after reading Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography - though a very different focus of course. Good for Apple fans but probably not so much for others, though maybe for those studying business. "

" Pretty quick read and a lot is a retread of Isaacson's book. "

" There isn't much new info, if any at all, if you are a follower of Apple news in general. While it is true that Steve Jobs has been integral to Apple, this book seems to revolve around him and tries to answer the question - what will Apple be without Steve? Tries. "

" Very interesting insights on Apple and Steve Jobs. There are a number of facts in here that were not in the Steve Jobs biography. "

" A nice book explaining how Apple works, with some interesting stories from the inside. Easier to read (for me) than Steve Jobs' biography. "

" The author didn't get facts straight. He even misquoted Isaacson's book. "

" Fine, not much new. Isaacson bio is better. "

" It was ok, it offers some interesting quotes and quotable statements, but in general I had a feeling it used a lot of filling to beef up the page count. And the narrative feels rather random at times. Read only if you're seriously interested into Apple. "

" A good companion book to Isaacson's biography. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Apple. "

" Great business lessons from the underbelly of the world's most heralded org. "

" A bit repetitive but an interesting read "
