Apple’s Mission statement
Apple does not clearly define a mission statement. According to Farfan (2014), “Apple ends their press releases with a statement that resembles what a traditional mission states is expected to be…Apple commits to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings” (The Mission Statement, Global Vision, and Values of Apple, Inc.).
Vision. Tim Cook, current CEO of Apple, does not have a simple vision for the company. During a 2009 interview, Cook mentions several values behind the company leading the vision Cook expects; “We believe that we are on the face of the earth to make great products and that’s not changing, we are constantly focusing on innovating and we believe in the simple, not the complex” (Hull 2012, para. 5).
