When a company is formed by a person, who becomes the owner, promoter and ceo, the full control of daily operations are with that person and over a period of time, the person could feel that the ,its his company. however the legal status of the company is completely different. a company is considered as an individual and since a company pays taxes to the government, that individual status is reinforced. all the employees of a company are agents of the company , helping iti to generate profits. a CEO is also an employee, a kind of first among equals. so in efffect a ceo is also not the company. he atmost can get to control a company. controlling a company and owning a company is not the same. probably this point was missed by Mr.Steve Jobs,initially.
