Last year when Cook became the permanent CEO, he hired Browett from UK-based Dixons to head the retail chain. Cook was apparently attracted by Browett’s like-minded focus on the more traditional concepts of retailing—logic and process leading to revenues and profits.

This is exactly why I'm short on Apple now. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody better than Cook to squeeze every last ounce of waste out of your supply chain but I see zero evidence of Jobs' uncanny product vision so far.

To make the parent comment more relevant, I've taken "product vision" to include the quality of the retail store experience.

Exactly. It's the intuitive understanding of what made Apple different and so successful.
