Jobs' zeal for product development--and enforcing his personal vision--remains as relentless as ever. He keeps Apple's management structure unusually flat for a 20,000-person company, so that he can see what's happening at ground level. There is just one committee in the whole of Apple, to establish prices. I can't think of a comparable company that does no--zero--market research with its customers before launching a product. Ironically, Jobs' personal style could not be more at odds with the brand he has created. If the motto for Apple's consumers is "Think different...
Within our gated walls, it is easy to forget that a whole world of problems exists just outside. As Harvard narrows down its presidential shortlist, the University needs to choose a candidate with a vision both for Harvard’s undergraduate body and its place in the community. The Search Committee must consider what students want in their new president and what they see as the role of their university in the world...
That would imply that China's behavior has changed of late. Has it? A U.S. policymaker cautions, "It's important to see the 'responsible stakeholder' notion as a future vision of China."

...made no meaningful move to rejoin the government, even as Maliki's office seemed to hold the door open for his return through November and December. Rikabi and others close to Maliki say Sadr is no longer considered a workable ally. "Sadr's people have their own political vision, and we definitely do not agree with them," says Kamal al-Sa'iday, a minister of parliament and longtime confidant to Maliki from the Prime Minister's Dawa party. "And Sadr's followers have decided themselves to leave the political process...
