The company operated, in may 2014, more than 408 stores in nine countries, thousands of dealers (including dealers premium or Apple Premium Resellers) and an online store (available in several countries) where its products are sold and provide technical assistance. According to Fortune magazine, Apple was the most admired company in the world between 2008 and 2012.
Apple was one of several highly successful companies founded in the 1970s. One of the companies was pioneering in casual head, a manager who not already dressed in jacket and tie. Other companies in similar success with the cultural aspects of the same period include Southwest Airlines and Microsoft. Steve Jobs often walked around the office barefoot, even when Apple belonged to the ranking of Fortune 500 companies. This feature has become a distinctive feature of the company which tries to differentiate itself from its competitors.
The company has grown and has been directed by a series of Chief Executives, each with its own idea of what Apple should be, some of the original character, but Apple still has a reputation for fostering individuality and excellence. To recognize the best employees, Apple created the Fellows program.
The members of Apple Fellows are those who have made an extraordinary technical leadership or contributions to the personal computer, while in-house Apple scholarships to date have been awarded to a few individuals including Bill Atkinson, Steve Capps, Rod Holt, Alan Kay, Guy Kawasaki, the Alcorn,
Don Norman and Steve Wozniak.
