"Stay hungry. Stay foolish," he said as he signed off. By following his own advice, Mr Jobs, who resigned as Apple's boss on August 24th, has turned the company from a basket case on the brink of bankruptcy when he returned to its helm in 1997 into a world-beater that is reshaping a big chunk of the technology industry. Earlier this month, Apple even briefly surpassed Exxon Mobil, an oil giant, to become the world's most valuable company. No other boss in recent history has embodied and defined a firm as completely as Mr Jobs. Other giants in the tech industry have seen their fortunes fade after iconic leaders have departed. That seems unlikely for several reasons. One is that the company has had plenty of time to plan for this moment. Mr Jobs has stepped aside from day-to-day management at Apple on a couple of occasions before, after having surgery for a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2004 (see timeline). Each time, Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, temporarily assumed his boss's responsibilities. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
