It was only last month when Apple CEO Steve Jobs was granted a medical leave of absence from the company while retaining the top spot as CEO of Apple. While there are growing concerns about his health, as different publications on the internet claim that Steve Jobs has merely four weeks to live. So it is natural for those who have invested considerable money in AAPL stocks, to be concerned about the company's future. However, Apple investors have voted down a proposal that would force the company to reveal its succession plan. Details on that, after the break.
NYPost reports:
Apple investors voted down a proposal Wednesday that would force the tech giant to reveal its succession plan.
As a result, the company is under no obligation to disclose its plans about how the company would be run if CEO Steve Jobs had to step down.
Investors have expressed concern regarding the future of Apple leadership after, Jobs, who will turn 56 Thursday, announced a medical leave from the company last month.
Jobs did not attend Wednesday's meeting.
While it is hard to think of Apple without the man that is Steve Jobs, i think Apple COO Tim Cook can prove to be a good CEO once Steve Jobs steps down. That is being said while considering the fact that Tim Cook has taken charge as acting CEO of Apple thrice when Steve Jobs has had to leave due to medical issues.
So Apple has not revealed its succession plan, and we'll probably have to wait for quite some time now before we actually know who is going to be the next CEO of Apple.
Who do you think is credible enough to become Apple CEO after Steve Jobs? Sound off in the comments below.
