With Sculley at the helm, Apple Computer Inc had an organic, informal, and entrepreneurial management structure. His successor, Steven Jobs, changed the company to a more bureaucratic model, which took the form of rules, financial controls and formal reporting procedures. The paper examines the pros and cons of both types of management styles and the difficulties faced when implementing a management change of this nature.
