Oh my my my, this is HUGE. Fortune Magazine (global business magazine published by Time Inc.’s Fortune|Money Group especially known for its annual features ranking companies by revenue.) .
A Heartiest Congratulation to the guy behind one of the top reputed company in the world today and also for reasons as various as the brain being the philosophy of comprehensive aesthetic design to Apple’s distinctive advertising campaigns, has established a unique reputation in the consumer electronics industry. This includes a customer base that is devoted to the company and its brand, particularly in the United States. Fortune magazine also named Apple the most admired company in the United States in 2008 and in the world in 2009.
The opening lines of a story written by Fortune editor-at-large Adam Lashinsky (which also includes a nice video segment) explain it nicely:
How’s this for a gripping corporate story line: Youthful founder gets booted from his company in the 1980s, returns in the 1990s, and in the following decade survives two brushes with death, one securities-law scandal, an also-ran product lineup, and his own often unpleasant demeanor to become the dominant personality in four distinct industries, a billionaire many times over, and CEO of the most valuable company in Silicon Valley. Sound too far-fetched to be true? Perhaps. Yet it happens to be the real-life story of Steve Jobs and his outsize impact on everything he touches.
The past decade in business belongs to Jobs,” said Fortune. “What makes that simple statement even more remarkable is that, barely a year ago, it seemed likely that any review of his accomplishments would be valedictory. But, by deeds and accounts, Jobs is back.”
Jobs’s effect on Apple has been stunning, the magazine said. The company had a market capitalisation of around $5bn (£3bn) in 2000. That figure has risen to $170bn (£102bn) today, and the company has $34bn (£20bn) in cash and marketable securities, which is more than Dell.
