Last week was marred by an event that all will remember for a long time. From the life of a man left, through which the world konsyumerskih products in the field of IT is now exactly. He set the tone for the industry, a generation of specialists rose by its ideology. Spices in the industry point out that in addition to design, it brings to market a business model, which until it just did not work.
Steve for all the revolutionary left, his name will be on a par with the names of people who changed the world.
This week I spoke, poperepisyvalsya, chat with people to whom I try not to go over trifles, and try not to pull them once a year. But this week I asked them all about Jobs, Eple and future. Most of them told me, and I 'll try to explain below the integral view of people who have achieved a lot and listen to the opinions of their.
Total, Steve himself has put himself in a trap, which he did, but from which it could not get. Or the fact that he did not have the time or the fact that people with his level of thinking that the world is not so much, and become one of the tops Epla not have a dream of their lives.
I'll try to summarize, for which Apple is doomed? . Some of them I wrote, some I was told only this week. Let's order.
a. Steve was the perfect vizionaristom, he could see the future and build a strategy on a scale not available to his contemporaries (in most cases). He gathered around him a brilliant ekzekov that they can implement. We can talk about different case, from the launch of a mass market iPod, who pulled over a sale of Dive Computers. And the creation of the ecosystem, which could bring legal use of media content to a new level. Few people remember that Newton, who was the forerunner iPad was a failure, but allowed to develop a strategy, the fruits, which Apple is now reaping the. Manufacturers Apple Tablet will not catch up quickly, not because they are technologically underdeveloped, but because they can not resist the tactical methods of strategy that was laid 10 years ago. After the failure of Newton created the iPod, which laid the beginnings of selling content ecosystem. When the iPod has conquered the world and became the industry standard, was released on the iPhone, which began to develop as a means of personal communications, educating the consumer needs. The ecosystem of the sale of content applications, supplemented. And in response to market demand for the device principled generation iPad said th. All attempts to all competitors ( like Google, and hardware manufacturers ) have been in vain. Apple clearly dominates the market. Only when the first unit, which began to threaten the dominant position in the market in the course were put lawyers. Experts 100% sure that the existing ekzeki Epla can not build such mnogohodovki. To do this we must be able to see the future and change it. Not provided in a number of hockey, but in the place where it will be the next moment. This means that the sunset period Epla come when Steve's strategy exhausted itself, and new, as appears strong.
2. Despite the fact that Epla ekzeki strong, the company has been built around one man, whose authority in making key decisions were unquestioned. Any his successor in office faced with the fact that he will not have sufficient authority to adopt and push for solutions. Moreover, experts say, it will itself in doubt, as far as it takes the right decisions, and he will not have 100% support from colleagues, because they are not confident in their thoughts. Very soon it will appear when the end effects of the decisions taken by Steve.
3. Steve's charisma no one can replace. She was one of the driving forces of. Steve was respected not only for employees but also for the millions of people who considered him a great man. Now, this spark will be gone, and it MUST affect sales. How much - remains to be seen.
4. Ecosystem Epla ranked niche, niche, and like any project, it has a ... Experts believe that Apple has filled a niche almost completely, and soon it will affect the growth of. A closed ecosystem will not be able to overcome their own limitations.
5. Experts predict that the sexual orientation of the new CEO will be poorly received by audiences, especially in conservative ( Catholic, Muslim ) countries.
6. The company has no corporate damper. At Microsoft, for example, the lion's share of sales goes to the corporate sector, which is very conservative, with standards that are accepted for the next few years, systems integrators that promote solutions to the architecture of the MS, and the event of failure of one of konsyumerskih products, the company will extend the corporate segment. Apple is working mainly in konsyumerskom segment, which is much easier to influence, despite some ... And that there is a risk. Price error in the output of the product is too high.
Yes, everyone remembers that the company today cache much as anybody in the industry. There are serious backlogs in the future, as in an ecosystem approach, a soft- and now even in zhelezyachnom. But the locomotive moves along the route charted by 3 years in advance in an environment that changes every year.
There is a version that came back from a trip to Asia, where he embraced Buddhism, he knew that the live bright, but not a long life.
Well, one of the saddest joke that Steve will get to heaven, where he will have no choice and all will be decided for him.
As a result, it turns out that all will remember Steve as a great man, but after 10 years, nobody will remember the company Apple. All that brought Steve, had an impact on an entire industry, and there is not domain only and not Apple, and everyone. With the death of Steve Jobs, the world did not lose anything, all that he brought - remained in the industry forever and will continue to influence her.
It is the opinion of experts, whom I interviewed. As for me, I see that Apple is now cut side projects. I've been watching the project iCar, in conjunction with Tesla Motors. For three days, he is frozen and a couple of weeks, as the wind down. The company does not want to tease the shareholders, such projects could penetrate only the Steve.
And of course a great pity that such a person has left. Even I, who does not like how the technique, and the company itself Epla. RIP.
And here is an alternative point of view. http://decidedly. info/2011/10/10/apple-is-doomed /.
