I'm writing a paper on Apple for my "writing in the workplace" class and was wondering if anyone in here has done the same. I'm mainly focusing on the CEOs and how they effected the company in its growth and near demise. I'm having trouble getting started and just need some guidance!! Links, Sources, or just a report that I could look at would be great.

I remember reading a book a while back called On the Firing Line. it was about Gil Amelio and although now very out of date, it had a lot of discussion about the roles of the CEO in Apple.

I don't think Steve himself has ever written a book or even approved of any books written about him. But right now I'm using iWoz, iCon, Apple 2.0 Confidential, Infinite Loop, and The Cult of Mac as my sources. I'm sort of using wikipedia for quick sorces.. I know a lot of people don't trust wikipedia but from what I read on the Apple page its all correct.
