apple university is a program, apparently secret for some, initiated by Steve Jobs when he was CEO of the Apple company, his role being to help Apple employees develop into future business leaders. Steve Jobs hired the former dean of the management school at Yale University for this project, but over time other professors from important US universities joined the program. Although during the lifetime of Steve Jobs the program had a purpose, in the last year new programs were formed that should to help employees to think like Steve Jobs.
Functional entrepreneurship programs within Apple University have enrolled the most talented and promising employees of the Apple company, and the teachers' role is to teach them to think and act like the former CEO of the American company. Steve Jobs wanted to leave the Apple company a strong program through which new managers are developed, for now it seems that his idea is a success, but it is unlikely that any of the students will soon occupy an important position within Apple.
