Assignment 1
1. What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?
The late Steve Jobs, as the founder of the Apple Inc., which as of August 2011, became the world’s most valuable company, was a brilliant man behind the exultation of victory of today’s technological advancement or shall I say played a major role in crafting life-changing devices. He was a great icon best known for his unbelievable triumph in shaping Apple Inc. and altering in form the entire consumer computer and phone industry. But he will likewise be remembered warmheartedly for how making mistakes — and even failing — can sometimes end up being the best thing that ever happened. Steve Jobs, justifiably, talks about his huge successes: he became incredibly wealthy, was universally admired, and as I said, played a major role in fabricating life-changing devices.
He became undeniably one of the richest persons in the world. He was hailed and ranked as the 39th richest person in America according to Forbes magazine. Having an abundant supply of money or possessions of value, he remains ambitious to make the way plain especially given opposition is a sign of leadership. Steve Jobs as momentously well-regarded in the world especially in the world of business and technology. Why? This is because leadership does not have a secret formula; all true persons who inspire others go about things in their own way. It is this ability to think differently and other wise that sets them apart - and that enabled Steve Jobs to create and produce perhaps the most respected and appreciated brand in the entire world. No doubt, Steve Jobs spearheading the Apple Inc. has built and commits its remarkable devices to achieve its goals of bringing the smiles to every individual through the use of technology. Like of an instance, some of the most famous and world-renowned products of Apple Inc. are: – iPod, iPod touch, iPhones, iPads, and the likes. These products are now famous across the world and you can see them being used by almost everyone or perhaps 1/3 of the world’s population. The iPads referred or denoted to as “computers” because you can do similar things as to how you would use a computer. The iPhones on the other hand, are similar to iPods but there is one more featured added to it which bring up the term “phone” instead of “pod.” It definitely means that it is a phone too. These work of art devices changed and transformed the face of technology because it is helpful in a way that from youth to adults need one for their daily lives.
I assume these huge successes as a technopreneur have derived and influenced by this factor. First is the style of leadership, second is the sense of simplicity, and lastly is his self-reliance. Steve Jobs' leadership style was autocratic; he had a meticulous eye for detail, and surrounded himself with like-minded people to follow his lead. While he was incredibly demanding of his people, he wasn't the best delegator - he wanted to involve himself in every detail, which is the opposite of my own approach. Personally, I have always believed in the art of delegation - finding the best possible people and giving them the freedom and encouragement to flourish. If you are not always there, it forces other people to call the shots, which in turn improves their own leadership skills, builds their confidence and strengthens your business. But whatever your approach, it is necessary to give other people the space to thrive, to catch people doing something right, rather than getting things wrong. Look for people who take their roles seriously and lead from the front, but who are not slow to see the lighter side of life. People who are inventive yet organized, focused yet fun, tend to be determined to succeed, and equally keen to have a good time doing it. A company should genuinely be a family, who achieve together, grow together and laugh together. Steve Jobs, although a very wealthy man, chose to live simply. His life was not overburdened by things such as furniture. The simple living confirmed his simple design aesthetics, which he loved. The stories are many. He could spend hours musing over the design of packaging. He wanted every consumer to be affected by the simplicity and the beauty of the design. His self-reliance was also the theme of one of his commencement address at Stanford University. He was self-reliant so much so that he didn’t even believe in marketing surveys. He questioned how people could know what they liked until they have seen it from Apple.
No one likes to admit failure. The word represents defeat, disappointment and imperfection. In Steve Jobs’ foot, failure is not the hindrance to success. Steve Jobs suffered professional rejection, career setbacks and sometimes a debilitating blow to their self-confidence, but they all managed to rise above the challenges to attain greater success than they had ever imagined. Steve Jobs may be one of the greatest innovators of all time, but even the founder of Apple Inc. genius's career hit a lowest point. Ejected from the company he helped to build in 1985, Jobs felt despair and rejection but funneled his energy into new ventures before returning to Apple in 1996. In his famous 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University, Steve Jobs said “I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”
Steve Jobs pushed the envelope many times when it came to product design, and the results weren't always pretty. Here are seven products created under his direction that failed commercially or functionally: Apple III, the successor to the very popular Apple II was focused on business users and priced accordingly. Unfortunately, the hardware was unreliable. Apple lost the business market to the IBM PC, launched the same year, and a rapidly expanding market of PC clones; Lisa, the first commercially produced computer with a graphical user interface cost $9,995 when it launched; NeXT Computer, Steve Jobs' venture after being forced out of Apple created a computer that was in many ways ahead of its time, but in the vein of the Apple III and Lisa, it was also too expensive to catch on with mainstream users; Puck Mouse, the new iMac was the first major product created after Jobs' return to Apple in 1996, and it was a big success, despite its tiny, round mouse. Users couldn't tell which way it was oriented by feel, and it tended to disappear in the cup of the hand, making it hard to use; The Cube, this small desktop computer was beautifully encased in a cube of clear plastic. It won design awards but was a flop in stores because of its high price; iTunes phone, it's easy to forget that the iPhone wasn't Apple's first venture into the cellphone business; Apple TV, it was a small box that connected to a TV and to a Mac in the home. A tiny remote allowed the owner to play music and movies from the PC on the TV. It was expensive, at $249, and complicated to set up and use.
And, having an affair with failures has entails this factors that greatly affect his life being as a technopreneur like perfectionism, he compartmentalizes his emotion, and comfortable with discomfort. Steve Jobs’ used to become very vocal in achieving its goal. He strived to generated remarkable devices with diligent and faultlessness attitude. However, this attitude reflects being perfectionism. Also, Steve Jobs compartmentalize his emotions to the point he don't internalize bad feelings from good feelings. Another thing is he comfortable with discomfort this is because he is willing to accept inconveniences as long as it leads them closer to an important goal.
Of course, Jobs was a huge success overall. But the magnitude of his failures–and his ability to recover from all of them–probably teaches at least as many lessons as the dizzying heights of his overall success.
2. How do you see yourself as a technopreneur?
In the world of business, an entrepreneur is an individual who could help and manage the capital of the enterprise or the industry undertaken. This individual has also competitive mind-set and generates strategy or tactics is a big plus to those who will dwell in this profession. A state of conflict between persons is inevitable in this arena. Wherein, your skills must be your weapon and armament to accomplish your goal.
On the basis of technology-based industry, a must to an individual to know how to use and maneuver emerging technologies around the globe within the industry. For it is a good step in reaching better opportunities which can provide solutions for each endeavors.
If being an entrepreneur paired with the arrival that has been awaited of the involvement of the high-end technologies, we can come up innovative or new products. Reaped with the technologies and point of view of being an entrepreneur, this individual both achieve technical and business skills.
A breath of new air, being an entrepreneur is no doubt can be my future industry. First and foremost, technical skill is in my blood. Studying as a student of information technology course can be my leap to advancement. We are trained to become a person who finds solutions and by creating the most efficient method for solving a problem makes us dwell on capacities to work out a plan for, set-up, perform as expected when applied, and correct malfunctions involving applications of machines and technological systems.
In the aspect of business undertakings, I tried to sell foods in my earlier years in college days. Those were the times when my confidence of persuasion was highly needed, those were the moments of I need to look for possible remedies to sell all my products, and those were the days when I need to sell myself in front of buyers to give them better sales talk so that all the product I am selling will be sold before the day will be out.
So much on the technical aspects of being a technopreneur let us touch the lighter side of being a technopreneur. When we talk about Steve Jobs, we cannot help but compares these attittudes: followed his dream and owns and made it his perfect dream, his style of leadership, the sense of simplicity, his self-reliance, a bucket full of patience, and embracing your passion in a plain simple approach or method. As an information technology student, I should acquire competitive skills in order for me to survive the tight competitions in the arena of luscious taste of the world. By doing so, I must maneuver the path to its maximum capability and capacity boosted with enough knowledge from the learning attained as an information technology specialist. I have always been wanted to become a good solution finder in the world and I should own every single moment of it. A good leader with undisputable and obviously true leadership doesn't have a secret formula; all true leaders go about things in their own way. It's this ability to think differently that sets them apart - and that enabled Steve Jobs to create perhaps the most respected brand in the world. Steve Jobs' leadership style was autocratic; he had a meticulous eye for detail, and surrounded himself with like-minded people to follow his lead. While he was incredibly demanding of his people, he wasn't the best delegator - he wanted to involve himself in every detail, which is the opposite of my own approach.

His self-reliance was also the theme of one of his commencement address at Stanford University. He was self-reliant so much so that he didn’t even believe in marketing surveys. He questioned how people could know what they liked until they have seen it from Apple. Like our on-the-job training we completed the whole website throwing tantrums, giving up or refusing to look for innovative ways to create a masterpiece and turn now as our legacy. In a way, constructing one of the greatest structures and masterpieces ever created is the same as building a business. That is why; Steve Jobs was always referring his innovations as an art. Practicing patience is a very important key in every business. Remember, business is a process. Therefore, it takes time. Most of the businesses very often do not automatically yield profit. If you do not have patience to see your business through, you will definitely fail as a technopreneur. Impatient people are much more impulsive, jumping to conclusions, making hasty decisions that ultimately cost their business. A patient person mindset has a tendency to use more common sense, a very essential component of business success. A patient technopreneur is also more likely to be prepared, have goals in place, understand his strengths and weaknesses, establish his or her resources and needs to know how to manage them. Applauded with perfect and timely dream is the burning passion inside of me, like Steve Jobs he wanted to earn more and be known in the entire world, in fact, he wanted to leave a big impact to the world and make history through my works in relation to my course and setting it in a simple yet amazing way when nothing or no one will be in harm.
So therefore these statements abovementioned clearly means and state a bright future if I will venture in the industry of technopreneurship.
3. Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?
According to web definitions, career path is a series with a definite pattern of advance of jobs within an organization, each of which develops business or technical skills necessary for the next position. And in this fast-paced environment and world where many people wants to earn success in an instant or just a blink of an eye. Many career paths have been patterned to achieve this success regardless of what industry or line of work you will be inline. One of the career paths that is very influential to those people who dare to reap their faith in success. As what Steve Jobs’ career path has yielded, I wouldn’t definitely follow the same career path of the founder and pioneer brilliant man of the world-class company Apple Inc. Why?
As far as I am concerned, Steve Jobs is very good man with the mission of the way of his business approach should be competitive and setting up standards to reach his goals with the matter of it is very ambitious and aggressive. He is ambitious, ambitious in a sense of he really wanted the company to gear up with the highest standards of personnel and aiming to target companies like the world-renowned IBM. And lastly, he was overpowering where some of his work is a great failure for the not undergoing the exact and righteous process to be called as effective and efficient devices that will enhance or make it better the quality of life.
However, as I decided to not let myself have the experience of the same career path of the founder of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs. I would like to stress some qualifications and attitude Steve Jobs portrayed in a way of very humane to understand and follow. Like an instance, he followed his dream and owns and made it his perfect dream, good leadership, has the guts to learn, apply a bucket full of patience, and embracing your passion in a plain simple approach or method.
As an information technology student, I should acquire competitive skills in order for me to survive the tight competitions in the arena of luscious taste of the world. By doing so, I must maneuver the path to its maximum capability and capacity boosted with enough knowledge from the learning attained as an information technology specialist. I have always been wanted to become a good solution finder in the world and I should own every single moment of it. A good leader with undisputable and obviously true leadership doesn't have a secret formula; all true leaders go about things in their own way. It's this ability to think differently that sets them apart - and that enabled Steve Jobs to create perhaps the most respected brand in the world. As I remember in a biographic material for Steve Jobs he was not able to finish his college days, he dropped out because he hasn’t known the road to take whether in arts or engineering. Therefore he really adapts himself in learning and business. This is because there is no such thing as contact, change is dynamic and vigorous. That is why some businessmen pay premium for research just to get a hold of information pertaining to trends and forecasts especially with technologies. As what we can see these days, technology is fast changing. As a technopreneur, you must have the willingness to learn everything there is to know about your industry, the nature of your business and how it can thrive in the environment it is in. Any technopreneur who refuses to acknowledge the market, the business environment and the consequence of trends may find that doing business is like trying to climb the waterfalls. It has worked for some but for most technopreneurs, it meant the end of line. To achieve business success, every technopreneur must be willing to learn his or her trades, find out about progress in related subjects and see whether or not these changes will affect his or her business. It keeps him or her on his or her toes, lets him think and act pro-actively and allow him to be prepped and ready for anything that might occur, whether it is good or bad. Like our on-the-job training we completed the whole website throwing tantrums, giving up or refusing to look for innovative ways to create a masterpiece and turn now as our legacy. In a way, constructing one of the greatest structures and masterpieces ever created is the same as building a business. That is why; Steve Jobs was always referring his innovations as an art. Practicing patience is a very important key in every business. Remember, business is a process. Therefore, it takes time. Most of the businesses very often do not automatically yield profit. If you do not have patience to see your business through, you will definitely fail as a technopreneur.

Applauded with perfect and timely dream is the burning passion inside of me, like Steve Jobs he wanted to earn more and be known in the entire world, in fact, he wanted to leave a big impact to the world and make history through my works in relation to my course and setting it in a simple yet amazing way when nothing or no one will be in harm.
Having these dispositions to act in certain ways and other absolutely and vitally necessary things before having a business, I can say that I will take the most applicable career path that of Steve Jobs took in a simple manner and approach in disparity. Technology geared with amazing attitude towards entrepreneurship is no doubt a big and good career. It is one way of refraining yourself from being unemployed especially these days that the world is experiencing an increasing poverty rate. Taking the lighter career path does not mean that I will be copying his ways to be successful. I will be creating my own way as a technopreneur and strive to become a better one. Better than Bill Gates and better than Steve Jobs.

As what we can see these days, technology is fast changing. As a technopreneur, you must have the willingness to learn everything there is to know about your industry, the nature of your business and how it can thrive in the environment it is in. Any technopreneur who refuses to acknowledge the market, the business environment and the consequence of trends may find that doing business is like trying to climb the waterfalls. It has worked for some but for most technopreneurs, it meant the end of line. To achieve business success, every technopreneur must be willing to learn his or her trades, find out about progress in related subjects and see whether or not these changes will affect his or her business. It keeps him or her on his or her toes, lets him think and act pro-actively and allow him to be prepped and ready for anything that might occur, whether it is good or bad. Like our on-the-job training we completed the whole website throwing tantrums, giving up or refusing to look for innovative ways to create a masterpiece and turn now as our legacy. In a way, constructing one of the greatest structures and masterpieces ever created is the same as building a business. That is why; Steve Jobs was always referring his innovations as an art. Practicing patience is a very important key in every business. Remember, business is a process. Therefore, it takes time. Most of the businesses very often do not automatically yield profit. If you do not have patience to see your business through, you will definitely fail as a technopreneur. Impatient people are much more impulsive, jumping to conclusions, making hasty decisions that ultimately cost their business. A patient person mindset has a tendency to use more common sense, a very essential component of business success. A patient technopreneur is also more likely to be prepared, have goals in place, understand his strengths and weaknesses, establish his or her resources and needs to know how to manage them. Applauded with perfect and timely dream is the burning passion inside of me, like Steve Jobs he wanted to earn more and be known in the entire world, in fact, he wanted to leave a big impact to the world and make history through my works in relation to my course and setting it in a simple yet amazing way when nothing or no one will be in harm.
Having these dispositions to act in certain ways and other absolutely and vitally necessary things before having a business, I can say that I will take the most applicable career path that of Steve Jobs took in a simple manner and approach in disparity. Technology geared with amazing attitude towards entrepreneurship is no doubt a big and good career. It is one way of refraining yourself from being unemployed especially these days that the world is experiencing an increasing poverty rate. Taking the lighter career path does not mean that I will be copying his ways to be successful. I will be creating my own way as a technopreneur and strive to become a better one. Better than Bill Gates and better than Steve Jobs.
