Man is the creator of change in this world. As such, he should be above systems and structures, and not subordinate to them."
The "official" mission statement on the Apple corporate website, however, is not really a mission statement at all, but rather a list of products and past accomplishments. As stated, Apple's "mission" is:
"Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced iPad 2 which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices."
Apple ends its press releases with a statement that resembles what a traditional mission statement is expected to be…
"Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.
