CLONING APPLES
Apple's strategy is to license selectively to "complementary" partners who
can help the company's marketing efforts without engaging in direct
competition. Potential partners? In Japan, NEC and Fujitsu; in Germany,
Vobis; in Italy and South America, Ing.C.Olivetti; in the U.S., Motorola
and IBM. Apple's executive VP says, *********"If we had licensed earlier,
we would be the Microsoft of today." ******djf(Newsweek 8/29/94 p.40)
