(Free-Press-Release.com) January 23, 2012 -- “So much of what Apple does stands decades of business teaching on its head, because they just don’t do things the way other companies do. The rest of the business world might want to pay attention.”

More about Adam's new book

Adam reveals exclusive information as to how Apple innovates, deals with its suppliers and is handling the transition in the post-Jobs era.
Discover concepts such as the “DRI” (Apple’s practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top 100 (an annual ritual in which 100 up-and-coming executives were tapped for a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).

Universal lessons for all those interested in leadership, innovation, product design, marketing and business as well as those just fascinated by the inner workings of Apple and Jobs’s management style.
