Is Tim Cook a better Apple CEO than Steve Jobs?

Steve Jobs was a unique CEO, the likes of which we will probably never see again. He wasn’t just the CEO, he was also Apple’s chief product officer. Tim Cook hasn’t taken on that role, but that’s okay, because he doesn’t need to. Lots of people expected him to fail because he wasn’t “a product guy,” says analyst Horace Dediu. “But that’s not what he should be.”

What many may not realize is that what matters most at a mature company like Apple is not the products but rather the logistics — an efficient supply chain, distribution, finance, and marketing. And Cook has proven his talents for all of these. As a result, according to Dediu, he is the best CEO Apple has ever had.
