Economist cover displays Steve Jobs as a magician in its recent issue. All the celebrities in the political world and IT world have talked about Steve’s contribution to the world. Even many wonder he is this century’s Thomas Edison. Is all this media coverage and articles on Steve is really valid and worthy.
When Steve Job’s introduction of products to world are analysed, they are not new inventions as Edison’s invention of products, but even then they have revolutionised the world in their respective fields. When ipad was introduced by Steve in early part of this century, MP3 players were already there in the market, but the way the product was designed and the marketing of the product made a big difference. Along with ipad he also introduced itunes for downloading the songs for the instrument, this created the big difference.
Steve was not an engineer or a scientist instead he himself stood as customer and this along with his guts to introduce the new designs was the critical factor in his success. Another important factor is that his determination in providing quality product and quality after service with its Mac stores located all around the world created a huge impact in success of his products. In the history of any computer and electronic world and for instance in any business in the whole world, there is no special place for customer to go and learn how to use the product they bought with all technical and general help in person. This idea of starting up Mac stores throughout the world is one of the striking features of success of Steve and Apple.
The products Steve introduced to the world are not new instead he took other’s invention and made it more stylish and user friendly with best product quality and excellent after service and repackaged the product and put it in the market. Another important factor for success is the marketing of Mac products in the initial years.
Steve Jobs should be considered as one of the greatest innovator in the computer industry as he is the only person to have made such an impact both in hardware and software of the products he has introduced. There is no other IT company which has created so many new hardware designs for the products and also supplied all the software to run those products. This has made Steve different from all other successful technologists.
Smartphone maker blackberry had introduced smartphone far ahead of iphone by Apple. But how could iphone become such an outstanding success in the history of cell phones. It was the design which made it a pleasure for the users to use. It is the ease of use of his products and the value created in the customer’s mind that made Steve a magician. Though Steve cannot be compared with Edison as he didn’t invent anything as Edison, Steve Jobs has his own greatness in the business and IT field of the world.
