Steve
Job
Peter Wu
We all know that
Apple is now Jobs-less.
While its share
price took a bit of a dive (initially) on news of his resignation, it’s great
news for
Steve Jobs stepped
down as CEO in response to an invitation by President Obama who had appointed
him to chair the task force on job creation. The task force is now officially
named as Jobs’ Jobs-creation Task Force.
His credentials
for heading the task force are perfect. With a name like Jobs, you don’t have
to corporate sponsors what the terms of reference of the task force are, do
you?
The name of the
task force may sound a mouthful but it’s got such a nice ring to it. Like the
Chinese word which combines ‘two happies’ in one (double happiness), we now have a new word – Jobs’ Jobs. This
is double emphasis and good Feng Shui.
Apple’s customers
are religious believers. Its products are being snapped up unquestionably, such
is the devotion of its disciples. It goes without saying the company is creating
massive numbers of jobs. With Jobs’ imaginative and evangelical flair, he is
bound to create more jobs. Before you know it, there will be jobs coming out of
everyone’s ears in
With his now
chairing the task force and consistent with its terms of reference, Steve is
considering creating more of his own little Jobs – the two-legged variety.
