Steve Jobs - the best CEO in the world

Barron's compiled the annual list of the best company presidents in the world and Steve Jobs a WON this year the title of the best company president in the world. Barron's declared Steve Jobs the winner for the way he managed to transform Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world with record profits year after year. Of course, the statistics on the sales of iDevices and the success of the iPad, iPhone 4 and iPad 2 contributed a lot to this decision. Apple will become the most valuable company in the world in a few years and this is largely due to Steve Jobs.

Of course, Steve Jobs was in the select company of some 30 of the most well-known company presidents in the world, most of course based in the USA.

  1. Cauta CV-urile invididual pentru fiecare CEO si vei vedea
    Steve Jobs s-a afirmat serios din 2007 de cand cu iPhone-ul …iar de acolo Magia a inceput 🙂 !Ajungand sa fie unul din cei mai buni CEO dp planeta !

  2. Steve Jobs era deja celebru cu 20 de ani înainte de iPhone. Faptul că RO a fost mult timp ruptă de știrile din tech face ca la noi Apple să fie cunoscută abia de la iPhone încolo. Oricum Steve Jobs va rămâne în istorie pentru toate realizările pe care le-a avut ca CEO.

  3. Da, la ei se poate si fara, pentru ca incurajeaza invatarea prin trial&error. Daca dai faliment, o iei de la capat fara datorii; la noi, te-ai rupt in conserva.

  4. Apple a devenit celebru pentru calculatoarele lor mici ( mai mici decat dulapurile de la IBM ) si nu cu iPhone, poate ca cea mai mare realizare au fost Macbookurile, cred ca fara acestea deja nu s-ar afla pe piata, dadea faliment de mult inainte sa lanseze primul iPhone ( cel putin eu asa cred ).
