Steve Jobs, acofounder of a tiny computer company. One day, he threatened to callthe company Apple, his favorite fruit, if his colleagues didntsuggest a better name by 5 p.m. Apparently, they didnt.   Once,a small shoe company called Blue Ribbon Sports needed a flashiername. A company employee one night dreamt of Nike, the Greek goddessof victory, and suggested using it. Perhaps divine intervention hassince played a role in the companyssuccess.
