Apple Incorporated is famously known to introduce new products to consumers, before the consumers realize that it is desired. Since 1997, Steve Jobs has been the CEO for Apple Incorporated, and has increased the revenue of this very successful company. Although it makes no sense that one person could be responsible for the $105 billion dollar company, his operation strategies have proved to defeat some competitors.
Some prior employees indicate that he is unrecognizable to ideas, stern, and has a “god like,” approach when producing new products-- he placed all the employees in separate enclosed cubicles and forbidding all employees to discuss personal projects and ideas. However, this clever approach has developed the newest technology such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and the outrageous new model of the iPad. Creating these technical unique products, before any other company, helps Apple sky-rocket over its competitors, Dell and Intel.
Steve Job is extremely intelligent, and he has built a productive and innovative designed company to produce services for the world.

I am by no means an Apple fanboy, but I 100% agree with this article. No one can doubt that Steve Jobs is an amazing businessman with a sustained track record of excellence. Not only did he bring Apple back from a company who was heading towards bankruptcy, but he has also made them the undisputed leader in portable media and smart phone technology (Google is gaining though). He is also responsible for the success of Pixar. Not sure where we would be in terms of CGI movies if it were not for Pixar and the original Toy Story. I know my family and I would've had to find something else to do instead of going to the movies many times over the past eight years.
Steve Jobs has brought back a company from the verge of bankruptcy. In the late 90's Apple was about to close. Steve jobs came and gave us the iMac, probably apple's most successful computer since the Apple II. Since then Apple had brought consumers products that seem to almost instantly become hits like the iPhone, iPod and iPad. Steve Jobs may or may not be "god like" but he seems to know a succesful product when it is presented to him.
Yes, Steve Jobs does look like he is "god like" at the moment, but let's all ground ourselves in the fact that he is surrounded with some of the smarted business people on the planet and with his prior pioneering knowledge of mobile computing it has been a "perfect storm" for the man in the and the company for the past ten years or so. We live in a competitive world and there has always been someone who has been first to market, but over time that leader has been enveloped is by the masses, especially in the technically fast paced evolving world that we live in today. Am not knocking the man, I own a Mac and every product that he has developed lately, but he is a businessman running a very fortunate technical product company at the right time.
