FORTUNE MAGAZINE ANNOUNCES "THE CEO OF DECADE" AS STEVE JOBS

Wednesday, November 11, 2009



Steve Jobs! every maclovers has a feel in them on hearing this name. Yep, we all know Steve jobs as the CEO of apple and as well he is one of the best presenter on stage. The way he presents a new product is unique. Indeed, now to add a feather to his crown, he has been voted as "THE CEO OF DECADE" by the prestigious Fortune magazine.


The paths he crossed so far to be the CEO of decade as follows:
                 In 1985, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was forced out of his own company after he and then-CEO John Sculley began to fight over the direction of Apple (this coincided with major layoffs at the time). For the next decade, Steve flexed his entrepreneurial muscle by starting NeXT Computer and turning Pixar into an animation powerhouse. 

                 In 1996 however, NeXT was bought by Apple, returning him to the company he created. He quickly took the reigns as CEO. You probably know the rest of the story: iTunes, Mac, Macbook, iPod, iPhone, the iTunes and iPhone App Stores, and other products vaulted Apple from turmoil into one of the world’s largest and most respected companies.


Here’s a short excerpt from the Fortune piece on the decision:
“The past decade in business belongs to Jobs. What makes that simple statement even more remarkable is that barely a year ago it seemed likely that any review of his accomplishments would be valedictory. But by deeds and accounts, Jobs is back.”
 And the close competitor for Jobs are Larry page and sergey bin. There is a close tie between both, but the one valid point why Steve jobs has been selected is, the unique products he gave to the consumers  like iPod, Mac and iPhone.Also Steve’s transformation of Apple is the stuff of legends.
