Who Will Be The Next Jobs?

According to foreign media reports, the Wall Street journal wrote on Saturday that, after the death of apple Jobs (Steve Jobs), who might become the next Jobs, like Jobs and Henry Ford (Henry Ford), Thomas Ai Edison (Thomas Edison) has brought great changes to our lives? Wall Street Daily has listed several candidates, including China's Ma Yun (micro-blog), Japan's Sun Zhengyi and the United States Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg). The following is a summary of the article:

Who will be the next Steve Jobs? Define the next Steve. Steve Jobs This topic is somewhat absurd. Even 20 years ago, even Jobs himself was not qualified. After being expelled from Apple computer, Jobs's hope was to restore NeXT, a troubled computer manufacturing company. vitality 。

But as Jobs is now comparing with Henry Ford (founder of Ford) and Thomas Edison, sooner or later, there will be an inventor with the same vision, who will greatly improve our lives. Jobs himself inspired a large number of entrepreneurs. If one of them can make full use of the world's energy resources or medical system, it will eventually produce the same as Jobs's. Influence Power.

One of Sun's founders, Vinod Khosla, pointed out that if you want to be a legendary innovator, you must have two characteristics, that is, very confident and arrogant. You must try hard to pursue Vinod Cossa and lose your mind. Arthur Patterson Arthur Patterson, Vc firm's Accel Partners, believes that the 12 year of Jobs's expulsion from the company is at a relatively stagnant stage of information technology. When he returned to apple in 1997, the Internet had begun to play the magic of changing the industry and the world.

Mark Zuckerberg

In Paterson's view, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) has the potential to become "the next Jobs." Like Jobs, Zuckerberg dropped out of college and created users who did not know what they wanted, but became an indispensable product in their lives. Like Jobs, Zuckerberg is also a perfectionist, sometimes even to a severe degree. Joel Peterson, chairman of JetBlue airlines and Joel Peterson of Stanford University, called them "addicts of product development".

But if you want to be Jobs's successor, you need to have another crucial ability to learn from your frustrations and reinvigorate yourself. Jobs himself admits that in 1997, he returned to apple, two people who were forced to leave apple in 1985. Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of business at Stanford University (Jeffrey Pfeffer), said that it is necessary to predict whether Zuckerberg will become mature as time goes by to predict whether Zuckerberg will become the next Steve Jobs.

Sun Zhengyi and Ma Yun

There is, of course, a big controversy over the list of candidates for the next Steve Jobs, and even candidates themselves have doubts. Sun Zhengyi, founder and chief executive of Softbank, said on Friday that "before Steve Jobs, there was no Steve Jobs. After Steve Jobs, there will be no Steve Jobs. "

In Japan, Sun Zhengyi has similar entrepreneurial qualities to Jobs, and dare to challenge the market giants like Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. In 2008, Sun Zhengyi's Softbank introduced iPhone into the Japanese market instead of NTT DoCoMo, a bigger rival.

Ma Yun, chief executive of Alibaba group, has some Jobs like qualities. After competing with rival eBay and becoming a market leader, Ma is now considering acquiring YAHOO. Ma Yun's great personal charm has also won the support of employees. In addition, Ma also challenged the network payment and loan system of backward Chinese state-owned banks. Ma Yun recently said, "if banks do not change, then we will change banks."
 

Drew Eddie

Outside the technology industry, Stanford University biologist Drew Eddie (Drew Endy) has many similarities with Jobs. The nonprofit BioBricks foundation, led by Eddie, aims to make artificial life forms easier and cheaper to use DNA tools, free of charge for people to use after maturity. His ideal is to make biological cells finally achieve the state of computer programming similar to that of today.

In the commercial field, Eddie is also an entrepreneur who has fought repeatedly and repeatedly. He was one of the founders of the Codon equipment company of synthetic biology. After the high-profile launch, Codon burned out of the $33 million raised, and Codon failed in 2009. Ndi said that despite the failure, Codon is still a great idea. Today, he emulated Jobs and learned from past failures and lessons to become another manager of Gen9, a synthetic biology start-up company. The company intends to keep a low profile.

From now on, the most likely to take Jobs's place is Apple's potential rival, Amazon Bezos (Jeff Bezos). At the beginning of Amazon in 1994, Amazon focused on running a single Internet bookstore business. Amazon then expanded its business to publishing and retailing. In 2007, Amazon released the Kindle e-book reader. In just four years, the sale of e-books on Amazon has surpassed that of traditional paper books. Business ranges from digital cinema equipment to paper diapers, making Amazon, a diversified development, the nineteenth largest retailer in the United States.

Like Jobs, Bezos is constantly bringing Amazon into the new market. Amazon's network is huge and efficient, making the company's performance growing. Just last week, Amazon just launched a tablet computer to fight Apple's iPad.

At the same time, Bezos, like Jobs, is also a chief executive who pays close attention to details. In an interview last week, Bezos once said that the name of Amazon tablet has satisfied consumers.

Outside Amazon, Bezos also funded the Blue Origin manned spacecraft research and development agency. Like Jobs's black T-shirt, Bezos has his own standard outfit: blue jeans, light blue shirts and dark sweaters. He told reporters in 2001 that because of the need to worry about getting out of clothes every day, the monotonous wardrobe saved a lot of time for him. Tucker, a professor at Dartmouth College's Sydney School of business in Sydney, said: "Bezos is rated the most dynamic chief executive in the United States of America."
