  • Steve Jobs Had an Early Skill for Innovation
    Steve Jobs typifies the challenging and innovativeness of the tech business' spearheading business people. Worshiped by many, he has turned into a practically fanciful figure – a knight crusading for development and faultless structure. As CEO of Apple, Jobs made one of the most important and appreciated organizations on the planet and, alongside it, a progression of stunning items, including the iPhone. However, who, precisely, was the man behind the fantasy? Decent numerous stories have been told. Some considered Jobs to be a virtuoso and visionary pioneer, while others thought he was an affected snap, a determined stickler or a difficult half-virtuoso, half-butt face. This is the tale of how Steve Jobs turned into Steve Jobs we consider today. Steve Jobs had an early skill for innovation. Shortly after he was born on February 24, 1995, in San Francisco, Steve Jobs was set up for appropriation by his natural mother, Joanna Schieble. Thus, he grew up the child of Paul and Clara Jobs, a regular workers couple. Being embraced by Paul and Clara may have significantly added to his later work since Jobs immediately built up a sharp comprehension of innovation. Since his dad was an auto technician and skilled worker who made furnishings, there was a workbench in the family's carport and Jobs' dad showed him how to fabricate things, dismantle them and set up them back together once more. This training served him well; further down the road, Jobs thought back about how his dad instructed him to fill in as industriously on the underside of a bureau as on its completion when demonstrating the iPod to the creator.

  • Steve Jobs: the Next Insanely Great Thing | WIRED
    10/26/2020 Steve Jobs: The Next Insanely Great Thing | WIRED GARY WOLF 02.01.1996 12:00 PM Steve Jobs: The Next Insanely Great Thing Steve Jobs has been right twice. The first time we got Apple. The second time we got NeXT. The Macintosh ruled. NeXT tanked. STEVE JOBS HAS been right twice. The first time we got Apple. The second time we got NeXT. The Macintosh ruled. NeXT tanked. Still, Jobs was right both times. Although NeXT failed to sell its elegant and infamously buggy black box, Jobs's fundamental insight---that personal computers were destined to be connected to each other and live on networks---was just as accurate as his earlier prophecy that computers were destined to become personal appliances. Now Jobs is making a third guess about the future. His passion these days is for objects. Objects are software modules that can be combined into new applications (see "Get Ready for Web Objects"), much as pieces of Lego are built into toy houses. Jobs argues that objects are the key to keeping up with the exponential growth of the World Wide Web. And it's commerce, he says, that will fuel the next phase of the Web explosion. On a foggy morning last year, I drove down to the headquarters of NeXT Computer Inc. in Redwood City, California, to meet with Jobs. The building was quiet and immaculate, with that atmosphere of low-slung corporate luxury typical of successful Silicon Valley companies heading into their second decade. Ironically, NeXT is not a success. After burning through hundreds of millions of dollars from investors, the company abandoned the production of computers, focusing instead on the sale and development of its Nextstep operating system and on extensions into object-oriented technology.

  • Linkedin Corporation 10-K
    10APR201419231192 April 2016 To Our Stockholders: In 2015, we delivered a strong year of innovation focused on further connecting our members and customers to opportunity. For members, we made significant progress by focusing on two core value propositions: staying connected and informed, and advancing members’ careers. • In December, we launched our re-imagined flagship mobile application, the culmination of a year-long focus to create a dramatically simplified core LinkedIn experience. Since launch, we have seen meaningful increases in feed engagement, messages sent, and content interaction. • With respect to careers, we spent much of the year working on fundamental building blocks including doubling the number of jobs on LinkedIn to more than six million, improving jobs relevance, and re-launching the jobs experience on the desktop. This work resulted in a significant increase in overall engagement with jobs throughout 2015 compared to 2014. For customers, we focused on innovating the core value drivers in each product line: • Within Hiring, we announced the re-launch of Recruiter, the first full refresh of our flagship product since its original launch. The new Recruiter will rollout to customers throughout 2016 alongside the new Referrals product. The goal is that these products will further strengthen and extend our competitive position within the talent acquisition space in the coming years. • Within Marketing Solutions, Sponsored Updates increasingly evolved into the core of our advertising business, contributing approximately half of total ad revenue in 2015. Digital marketing remains a fast-evolving and competitive landscape, evidenced by the significant decline in our display ad revenue in 2015. To that end, we believe our primary focus on Sponsored Updates will continue to make LinkedIn the most effective platform for marketers to engage professionals.

  • The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Scott M. Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and English presented on May 17, 2012. Title: The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs Abstract approved: Mark P. Moore On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction of Jobs, Apple, an idea that started in a garage, transformed into a major force in the computer industry of the 1980s. Though Jobs’ leadership undoubtedly influenced Apple’s success during this time, in 1995, he was forced to resign, when conflicts mounted at the executive level. Using Kenneth Burke’s theory of identification and the dramatistic process, this thesis examines Jobs’ discourse through a series of interviews and textual artifacts. First, I provide a framework for Jobs’ acceptance and rejection of the social order at Apple, and then consider the ways in which Jobs identified with employee and consumer audiences on the basis of division. Analysis shows that Jobs identified with individual empowerment, but valued separation and exclusivity. Jobs’ preference to create identification through division, therefore, established the foundation for new identifications to emerge. The findings of this study suggest that division has significant implications for creating unity. ©Copyright by Scott M.

    26APR201314060142 April 2013 To Our Shareholders: 2012 was a transformative year for LinkedIn. We exited 2011 having successfully revamped our product development infrastructure, and 2012 was a year of accelerated product innovation based on that investment. The products we delivered throughout the year drove record levels of member engagement and financial results.

Our vision, to create economic opportunity for each of the world’s more than three billion professionals, galvanizes our employees and our culture. That culture remains one of our strongest competitive advantages and fuels our product strategy to help members connect, find, and be found through their professional identities; provide valuable insights making members more successful in their careers; and enable LinkedIn to work everywhere our member work. By leveraging our new development infrastructure, we set out to make products that would simplify the member experience on LinkedIn, grow our platform, and create daily value for LinkedIn members. Strong member engagement metrics emphasizes the value we continue to create throughout the ecosystem. In 2012, we added 57 million new members, ending the year with approximately 202 million members in total, and maintaining our pace of adding approximately two members per second to LinkedIn. We celebrated passing the 200 million member milestone in December, up from less than 100 million members just two years ago. As measured by comScore, excluding Slideshare, unique visitors to LinkedIn grew 29% versus 2011 to an average of 109 million. Pageviews, as measured by comScore and excluding Slideshare and mobile member engagement, rose 27% versus 2011 to 37 billion, and when including mobile engagement, our growth was substantially higher.
