Apple’s valuation was up 84% from last year while Google fell 2% to a measly $111.5 billion.
Millard Brown CEO Eileen Campbell see’s corporate alignment as Apple’s secret sauce:
It’s clear that every single Apple employee, from Steve Jobs and Tim Cook to the summer interns, see protecting and nurturing that brand as a top priority. Tablet computing also drove value growth not just for Apple, but also for the providers who support yet another networked device.
