News about Ron Johnson

In this Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing podcast, analyst Jason Moser interviews Ron Johnson, who created the Apple Store and wrote the book Shop Different. Johnson recalls joining Apple in late 1999, when the company had been largely defeated: after Steve Jobs returned in 1997, Apple held 5% market share against Microsoft's 95%, which he compared to a baseball game trailing 19 to one. The conversation also covers his career path from Harvard Business School to Target, what Steve Jobs cared about, why he thinks new Apple CEO John Ternus does not need to rush, and the lessons from his very public stumble as CEO of JCPenney. The transcript provided is cut off partway through.
