4. Jobs has been giving inspiring presentations
for decades.
In 1984, Jobs unveiled the first Macintosh.
The launch remains one of the most
dramatic presentations in corporate history.

5. The idea fell from a tree, literally. Steve Jobs had returned from visiting a commune-
like place in Oregon located in an apple orchard. Apple co-founder and Jobs’ pal,
Steve Wozniak, picked him up from the airport. On the drive home, Jobs simply
said, “I came up with a name for our company—Apple.” Wozniak said they could
have tried to come up with more technical sounding names but their vision was to
make computers approachable. Apple fit perfectly.

6.  Steve Jobs was the founder and inspiration for the Apple
Company, but he was slowly pushed out for “aggressive and
underhanded tactics”
 Employees said he had a temper, and was usually stubborn
 After an internal power struggle, he was eventually kicked off
the board of directors
 Jobs protested and resigned, even though he stayed the
chairmen for some time. He was so upset, he sold all but one of
his Apple shares
 During this time, Jobs bought what became “Pixar” from
Lucasfilm for $5 million
 He also started the computer company “NeXT Computer”
 Though it never went very mainstream, due to high costs, it was
responsible for many important innovations, including
“NeXTMail”, Jobs email program that supported embedded
graphics and sounds and the original World Wide Web
system(www)

7.  Steve is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Lowest Paid Chief Executive
Officer”, with a salary of just $1. However, gifts like a $46 million jet and just under 30
million shares of restricted stock make him very well off to say the least
 Pixar, which Jobs bought in 1986, has been responsible for films such as “Toy Story”,
“Finding Nemo”, the Walie and “The Incredibles” etc.
 Relations with Disney were getting tough, though, and Jobs announced that they would
find a new partner in 2004. But, when Eisner was replaced by Bob Iger in 2005, he
improved relations, and Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion.
 This made Steve Jobs the largest single shareholder of the Walt Disney Company, with
7% of the stock
By this we can say that Steve JOB’s is not only a Innovator..but he is also good ENTERPRENEUR.
He all together started three companies which redefines the world thinking process and
Revolutionised the IT industry as well as ANIMATION field.

8.  Apple bought NeXT in 1996, bringing
Jobs back to Apple
 When the CEO in 1997, Gil Amelio,
was thrown out, Jobs took his place
 To show how profitable he could make Apple again,
he released a number of new items like the Newton,
Cyberdog, and OpenDoc.
 He invented the i-pod and world thinnest notebook
MAC BOOK AIR.(now this is called CREATIVITY)
 The coming years brought many new products,
including Mac OS X, the iMac, the iTunens,i-tv...

22. in the graph: the success of iPod supported the sales of Macs
Source: Apple Inc.
•Hence we can say that i-Pod’s , i-phones and I-pad’s are the main source of income than
Apple Mac Computers.
•Even though Apple was 1st to innovate the computers it still lags behind Microsoft n some
other leading brands of computers(like dell) due to the lack of financial Tactic's and marketing.
•Apple i-phone is the second largest leading brand in cellular communication and i-pod’s are 1st
largest leading brand in music devices in the world.

23. Apple: control and decide
Tight control on all aspects of UX
 The firm cannot support all
development cost and must focus on a
few products.
 Microsoft Office (at the beginning
only available for the Macintosh
platform) was instrumental in fostering
its sales.
Microsoft & Google: dominate
and divide
Focus on one strategic layer
(Windows, Search)
They create competition to let
others innovate in all remaining
layers (hardware, web…)

1985: Bill Gates was software n gaming developer for apple mac. he begs Apple

programs of mac and adopted in WINDOWS (in 1985) which was better and user
friendly than APPLE MAC.
IN 1995 Bill gates realsed windows-95 and he was richest person and

24. • Apple faced many problem during absence of its great leader Steve
Job and in this period Microsoft Windows started growing like
anything. Apple had lost market grip in tat periods.
• But after return of JOB’s to apple it picked up in market and
competes with Gigantic grown Microsoft.
• Apple joined hands with windows in 1997 mac boston meeting
where both companies agreed to share legally Microsoft Office ,
JAVA packages and some other applications in mac.
• Now apple allows to use windows on it( called parallel desktop) so
that a person can use both operating system Mac and winnows in
one computer at time (this facility made, actually increased Apple
customers.
• Apple claims tat windows vista is copy of Mac OSX 8 leopard. ..but
legally it did not fight against them.
