Sturtecory.com founder James Orth is back with a new podcast, Sturtecory FM. The show was originally going to be an extension of his popular Twitter account and blog called @sturcoryfm. But it turned out that the two projects were different so they're working together again. This week's episode has been delayed until next week because there are too many people listening at one time.
This episode is all about the (alleged) Apple Beats acquisition. While it may make a certain amount of business sense, does it signify a small but significant change in Apple’s priorities, and is it a cause for concern? Topics covered include:
- The rationale for the acquisition
- The difference between making and recognizing market opportunities
- What makes Apple uniquely capable of building revolutionary products
- Apple’s previous responses when threatened in music
- How to think about mergers and acquisitions
- How to best motivate employees
