Apple Organizational Structure

Apple is a company that has done a great job with centralization, and organizational structure specifically with product development. They have a great development team that is very innovative. The way they are so successful is by keeping their organization very flat and working in small teams. Many people see Apple as such a large company that their new products must be the work of a bunch of people when in fact a lot of their new products and software are developed by one or two individuals. The way they accomplish this is by constantly moving people around and focusing them on projects that are the most urgent. So the guy, thats right one guy, that writes the most of the Apple Apps you see in the App Store will write those apps one day and the next day he might be pulled off to write code for the next Mac OS X update. By moving people around Apple keeps a very flat organizational structure that has proven itself to be very successful. Don't believe me?
