After the death of Steve Jobs, Apple's stock price continued to climb, from about $ 400 above $ 600. Bold analysts even think that will rise to $ 1,000, the market will reach $ 1 trillion. It seems Apple's product innovation is across the Steve Jobs era, once again inspired on Jobs curiosity. A
science called Buffett school (Buffetology,), in fact, the research
value of investment for many people, the dream to copy Buffett's
success. There
should also be a learned skill is called Jobs (Jobsology), and the
study product innovation, trying to replicate the success of the next
Steve Jobs anyway. Said
Steve Jobs can not be imitated, Yes, Steve Jobs is only one, but the
concepts and methods of its product innovation, but it can be summary
and reference to future generations to inspire.
Why
Apple can become a global brand, loved by the world of different races,
different genders, different ages, different cultural backgrounds of
consumers? Of course, Apple products, advanced technology, but technology is not the only reason, not even the decisive factor. Steve Jobs even engineers do not some Americans say, Steve Jobs is "to force young people" (jerk or nerd)?
I think the magic of Apple products, deeply laid body Jobs for colorful brand of the humanities.
Jobs
himself is a descendant of the Syrians and the Americans, he build a
beard looks like a Middle Eastern; Steve Jobs is the rebellious
generation of the sixties and seventies, a representative figure in the
technology sector, listening to Bob Dylan's
song grew; Jobs in the age of 19 spent more than six months to explore
Hinduism and personal enlightenment; later thanks to the Japanese Zen
master, affecting his minimalist aesthetic style; Apple founder soon he
began to learn
and accept the European Bauhaus design style; the first Apple store
floor marble inspiration from Florence, Italy, ancient streets; he had
never been to the mainland of China, but he deeply believe that supply
chain management dependent on China. Patent
owned by Steve Jobs from the shell of one machine modeling, the iPhone,
until Apple Store glass stairs, basically from the design and
experience, rather than technology and inventions. None of the above, the unthinkable can produce apples so global products.
Is easy to see, Steve Jobs, who concentrated global multiculturalism. In
the production system is closed, but the absorption of technology,
design, the concept of experience, but is extremely open and
pluralistic. Confusing,
all this seems to be the only individual to complete, because these
products are more similar to the creation of a humanistic, inspired by
the keen feelings, intuition and insight of a very personal. Technical
services at Jobs for the pursuit of product experience - he can dig out
the most appropriate technology is not necessarily the most advanced
technology, but must be together and grasp of the product of "a priori"
organic .
But I want to emphasize here is why many people Evaluation Jobs, would Michelangelo's art masters such as comparable? Indeed,
Steve Jobs's passion for design and experience is the driving force
behind product innovation, the background is Steve Jobs who's rich
cultural factors, a respect for individuality and diversity of the human
environment in the burst.
The humanities Why become the life of the innovation? Because
we are at the core of a production and technical surplus era of
competition and innovation, is to choose what to produce. Eventually the humanities determine the direction of the technology, determine the direction of product innovation. Jobs
is not a technical geek, he is more a technical experience, to imagine
and enlightenment, which he can stand the innovation on the hardware and
software, technology and art, science and technology and humanities,
Meeting Point, which Get greater achievements than those of pure technical innovation. The importance of product innovation, the humanities, but also because it provides the ecological environment of innovation. More and more product innovation department within the company is committed to build a culture of innovation.
Tom
Kelly, one of the founder of the famous American products and services
company, in its "Innovation of the 10 face": If you can only select a
role, I would choose the "anthropologist". Two points for innovation is crucial.
Anthropologists
to pursue Zen ', respectively, Chi' principle, that they willingly they
'know' everything aside, put aside the traditional, to abandon
preconceived ideas in mind at this time, their wisdom is reflected in
the can completely open mind to observe, to discover. "
The
anthropologist inclusive of all conventional and unconventional human
behavior, they do not judge, only observe, they use heart to feel. "The humanities
is so important, he even made a" human engineer "the concept.
The other nine faces? They
test at home, grafting expert, hurdler, coordinator, director, user
experience designer, set designer, caregivers, the story home.
Product Innovation is not just about technology. Those
who can not pluralistic, free and open society, respect for
individuality, is unlikely to produce world-class product innovation,
especially in the field of mass consumption.
