What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?

Steve Jobs was successful in his career because of “his skills, his way of thinking and he sees things differently from others like the one he invented, it was a small box that can call to any other countries and to any personable like the Pres. Of the U.S.A. or the Pope in Vatican City, which he originally invented from just a small object that his friend Wozniac had never imagine it would be.” “But still Steve Jobs was not yet contented on it and wanted more of that, so he thought of making some else that accounts Steve Jobs on his success he never settle for just small things but craves for more.”


So after Wozniac tried to make a PC in his room for the newspaper, Jobs just got a new idea, on making Home Computers, he had no money for a capital so he sold his car to start a new business to make Home Computers, he even went to banks to loan some money for. “Persevered in their work Steve Jobs got themselves an investor who is interested to invest in their new business, after sometime they joined a Computer Expo.,” and showed their newly built PC that can be topped on other computer made by the IBM “being a good salesman Steven Jobs was able to get themselves other investors to invest on their business.”
After Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac made history on his garage with some of their other friends making Home Computers and making lots of investors to invest in their ideas they started a company called APPLE with being the co-owner and creator of PC (personal computers). Later Steven Jobs girlfriend got pregnant and demanded Jobs to accept the child his bearing but Jobs refused to. “His short tempered made him angry and starts yelling at his employee he even discouraged one of his employee just because of his personal problems.”


After establishing the company they started working on LISA a computer named after his illegitimate daughter, the project was done in no time, after the successful launching of their new product Steven Jobs begun acting like the other man Wozniac don’t want to be arrogant, Steven Jobs was full of confidence of himself that he could do anything, that anyone would do anything to be just around him. At his 20’s Steven Jobs was the influential man in his age. After the project LISA Steve jobs launched another project the Macintosh everyone of his employee worked hard for him to create the Macintosh, there was a part on the movie that Jobs grouped the Lisa team and Macintosh team on fighting each other that made his friend Wozniac decide to quit on Apple, leave Jobs and go back to College.


While Bill Gates was making his own way on making a program he then became jealous on Jobs computer the way it was made and programmed so Bill Gates decided to pay a visit to the Apple, Gates was then entertained and was toured inside the company’s building and discovered that they are working on a new project Bill Gates then convinced Jobs to let him worked to their company and offered his OS to them even though they don’t have a such OS he told to Jobs and have some of their prototype computers of Macintosh so he could add something to the project but Jobs didn’t took his offer, he doesn’t trust Gates. So on Bill Gates tried again, but this time Gates tried another tactics, he used Jobs weakness his “short tempered and arrogance.” And made Jobs accept his proposal on giving him some of the prototype computers their working on for the Macintosh, Bill Gates was so desperate on having his hands on those computers ad its OS, he then began on pirating the OS of the computer behind Jobs for his own purposes. Steve Jobs then learned of it and confronts Gates about it but then again Bill Gates manipulated Steve Jobs he told him lies about what he was just doing is just a prototype of the Macintosh, that the said accusations where not true and he was only trying something out but not betraying Jobs by pirating his OS. After sometime the Macintosh was finished, Jobs then throw a party bash for the accomplishment of the project, he began his speech on how they worked hard for the new product their launching but their were some speech degrades the LISA team on how it was more efficient and greater to LISA, that starts again the rivalry upon the two project team.

Jobs were never concern on how or what would his employees feel just because of his art sayings. Jobs then launched the new product of their company the Macintosh to the public and learned that the OS that was programmed to their computers was not their but Gates OS that was pirated from the original OS of the Macintosh, Jobs confronts Gates again but this time Gates reveals his true colors and slap Jobs about the reality that he is not as wise nor powerful as he think he is that he was not the victim but just a partner to the crime he made by stealing from the XEROX and then he just steals it again from him that made them equal. A year later Steve Jobs was fired from his job in just a blink of an eye he loses everything he worked on the company he build was then part of the company that just stole his ideas and OS just because of his arrogance and self centered.

After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. NeXT's subsequent 1997 buyout by Apple Computer Inc. brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since then. Steve Jobs was listed as Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Businessman of 2007.
