Why Apple's CEO Transition Is Smooth While Others Are Chaotic
为什么苹果换CEO不慌，其他公司换CEO像宫斗？
A 36Kr video commentary compares CEO transitions at Apple, Intel, Microsoft, and Google. It argues that Apple's succession from Tim Cook to John Ternus was orderly, while Intel's 4 CEOs in 13 years led to decline, Microsoft's selection was contentious, and Google's reliance on professional managers was a 'buck-passing' move. The piece frames Apple's stability as a result of its internal culture and long-term planning.
The view from inside
The video uses the term '宫斗' (gōng dòu, 'palace intrigue') to describe CEO transitions at other companies, a term loaded with Chinese historical drama connotations of backstabbing and power struggles.
