Hello everyone!
Well..well...well..Since this is my 1st post in my blog, I would like to post something related to technology(like my header says!).Steven Paul Jobs(Steve Jobs),a big name in the field of business and marketing,resigned from the post of CEO of Apple Inc. on Thursday,August 25th,2011.
iCame, iConquered and iResigned !
This is really a shocking news to all the Apple fans out there! As soon as Steve Jobs declared his resignation, the Apple Inc. shares fell $4.03,or about 1 percent, to $372.16 in midday trading, but the entire market was down by an equal amount as well. In extended trading Thursday evening, the fell more than 5 percent after Apple said Jobs would step down as CEO and hand the job to chief operating officer Tim Cook. Although, later the shares recovered from the shock.Whereas, shares of Google Inc., whose phone and tablet software competes with Apple's, rose $2.19, or 0.4 percent, at $525.48.(yay!! google for the win :D) I hope Apple manages without Steve!
Okay now, lets know about Steve Jobs in brief(for those who are still figuring out who he is). Steve Jobs, who co-founded Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak, was forced out in 1985 by then-CEO John Scully and the Apple board. He returned to an Apple in early 1997 when the company acquired NeXT. Jobs was named permanent CEO in 2000.
So the question arises as to why? Why did he resign? A little flashback is required here : In 2009, Jobs said his severe weight loss was due to a treatable hormone imbalance and that he would continue to run Apple, only days later to backtrack and take a medical leave. He returned to work in mid-summer. Later it is learned that he received a liver transplant.In January, Jobs announced a second medical leave, but did not say for how long. So, on health grounds, Steve Jobs stepped down.
Lets take a look at the resignation later of Steve Jobs :
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
Who's the next CEO of Apple? Tim Cook, previous Chief Operating Officer, will be the successor of Steve.
We all hope Apple would remain the same and be a tough competitor to tycoons like Google,MS,etc.
I'm ending this post with a quote : "To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines".
