  1. STEVE JOBS

  2. BACKGROUND • Born February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California. • His unwed mother put him for adoption because she wanted a girl. • His mother felt that he should be adopted by college graduates and when she found out that both his future parents had never graduated from colleges, she refused to sign the adoption papers until a few months later when his future parents promised that they would send Jobs to college. • Steve drop college because it is too expensive for him.

  3. JOBS AND APPLE • He and a friend (Steve Wozniak) started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976 at the age of 20. • Later that year, they debuted the Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. • A local store offered to buy 50 machines and to finance the production, they had to sell their most expensive possessions. • Jobs sold his Volkswagen van while Wozniak sold his Hewlett-Packard scientific calculator.

  4. Jobs named their company – Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon. • By 1982 however, his company sales sagged in the face of competition from IBM’s new PC. Thus, Jobs and Wozniak unveiled their new creation, Lisa to increase the company’s bottom line, only to be another expensive failure.

  5. Then they worked on a new machine called the Macintosh • Jobs was reported to commandeered the project, ruthlessly pushing its computer engineers and flying a pirate flag above the building where the team worked.

  6. Macintosh • By 1986 the Mac, which Jobs promised to be ‘insanely great’ was a huge success. After 10 years, starting from 2 kids working in a garage, Apple computer had grown into a $2 billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. • At the age of 30, Jobs, however, was fired from the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing a bitter battle over control with Apple’s CEO John Sculley (whom Jobs had recruited from Pepsi Cola).

  7. AFTER APPLE • Apparently both have different views of how the company should be handled and in one meeting Sculley had told security analysts in a meeting that Jobs would have no role in the operations of the company “now or in the future.” • When Jobs heard of the message, he said, “You’ve probably had somebody punch you in the stomach and it knocks the wind out you and you cannot breathe. The harder you try to breathe, the more you cannot breathe. And you know that the only thing you can do is just relax so you can start breathing again.” • Jobs sold over $20 million of his Apple stock, spent days bicycling along the beach, feeling sad and lost, toured Paris, and journeyed on to Italy

  8. During the next five years he started two companies – NeXTStep and Pixar. NeXTStep which produces NeXT, $9,995 cube-shaped workstation which aimed to create a workstation for research and higher, didn’t do as well as Jobs had dreamed for. It did poorly and Jobs pulled the plug in 1993. • Pixar, however was a success story. The company started the first computeranimated film, the Toy Story and when Pixar’s stock went public, Jobs became an instant billionaire.

  9. JOBS, BACK WITH VENGEANCE • Meanwhile, his old company, Apple was under immense pressure from rival Microsoft and in1996 posted billions of dollars in losses. • In December 1996 Jobs convinced Apple to buy NeXT and make its software the foundation of the next-generation Mac OS. • The technology he developed at NeXT became the catalyst of Apple’s comeback. Initially appointed as Apple’s adviser, Steve Jobs was named Apple’s • interim CEO in 1997.

  10. In 2004, he was diagnosed with cancer on his pancreas. Jobs was told that the cancer was incurable and he would only live for another three to six months. • Later, a biopsy showed that he actually had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. He had the surgery and survives. Under his leadership, Apple returned to profitability and introduced innovations such as the iPod.

  11. JOBS SECRET TO SUCCESS

  12. Steve Jobs: These are 2 essential ingredients for success • passion and people. • It's one of the greatest sources of motivation, he said. • "If you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it, you don't really love it, you‘re going to give up.“ • the other component to building a successful business is your ability to attract and retain the best team members. • "You've got to be a really good talent scout because no matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people," said Jobs.
