Apple A - Life My role as an Apple marketing director is to research the market, pioneer and market new product market, and generate profits. My product theory is this; it is an item that can be sold or purchased to meet demand. The product I'm thinking is an MP3 player. Apple already has various mp3. From 60 GB color screen Ipod to 2 GB Ipod shuffle, no screen. I came up with other products to stop the decline in sales.
Besides, I heard Steve himself 's voice, under the role of Apple' s market research.

Within days after Pixar entered the stock market, Apple bought NeXT for $ 400 million and reassigned Jobs to Apple 's Board of Directors as advisor to Apple' s Chairman and CEO Gilbert Amelio. For Apple, this is desperate behavior. Since they failed to develop the next generation Macintosh operating system, the PC market company share fell to only 5.3%, and they hope that Jobs can help change the company. At the end of March 1997, Apple announced quarterly loss of $ 708 million. Three months later, Amelio resigned and Jobs took over as interim CEO. Jobs again took charge of Apple and reached an agreement with Microsoft to ensure Apple's survival. Under the agreement, Microsoft invested $ 150 million to buy Apple's non-voting minority interest, and both companies agreed to "cooperate with several sales and technology." Next, Jobs installed the G3 PowerPC microprocessor on all Apple computers and made them faster than competing Pentium PCs.
