The problem with the one decision maker as Apple does is that when that person gone (or ill as Steve Jobs has been) there is panic in the organization. It is obvious that Steve Jobs has a wonderful business sense, but what about his organization? Will his successor have the same sense of what the public wants/needs? On the other hand, as people leave google, others will take their place. It seems though, with the reorganization after going public, that google is looking at a new model, which I wonder if it can sustain.
