1. What are the
factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a
technopreneur?
Steve Jobs for
me has the factors that contributed to both his success and failure. Some of
this is his a business mind thinking looking at the possibility of everything, creativity,
his self motivation, determination, focus and also his braveness to face risks that accompanies
it, Thus having this qualities or factors, he did done a great job in
innovating products at that time with much better ones which people started
patronizing leading to his success. But failure hunt him in the most highest
peak of his career he became too confident in himself and being prideful this
is the time when he started to look down on his employees and insulting them. His
lack of communication also add to the factors that result to his failure, because
of this he didn’t got a chance to know what his comrades and employees think,
and failed to understand that they are only human capable of making mistakes. In
addition to this is his bad attitude he is easily angered and has a temper. But overall Steve Jobs is still a picture of an
ideal technopreneur.
2. How do you see
yourself as a technopreneur?
Honestly in
the present I don’t see myself as one but if given a chance I could be. Maybe not
as good and great as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but an average one, now as an
IT student I can picture myself to be venturing to business pertaining to
Technology. It might be a bit difficult but I can see myself willing to take
that risk. I can’t say that avoiding problems along the way is possible since
having an ordeal is normal when running a business however I can picture myself
with the determination to overcome it and taking it as a challenge accepted
that could leave me with a lesson that I know will help me to improve and strengthen
my resolve to carry on.
3. Would you take
the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?
Yes in a way
because, his career path lead to his contribution of today’s technology. So if
given a chance I would like to take the same path as he did. Innovating and
creating something helpful to people in the future. He is without a doubt worth
to be followed. Though I would like to follow only his way of making his ideas
to reality and making known and be successful, but not the way he think and his
attitude towards the end which I can say is negative in every aspect, because I
still want to be the same me as what I am
in the beginning and not be too much over shined by fame and pride in the long
run.
