Leander Kahney:
It’s interesting, because companies do struggle when they become the leader. It took a long time for IBM to find their footing, and learn to play “nice.” Microsoft were so used to fighting hard to succeed, that when they finally won, they didn’t notice, and the tactics that served them well on their way to the top started to give them a bad name once they’d reached it.
Apple comes off as high-handed sometimes, and this will become more of a problem for them as they continue to grow.
Continuing the trend of classic sayings describing companies: the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
