His influence in IT technology in the 21st century has shaped the world in a way that advanced people&#8217;s lifestyle in a revolutionary manner, and it is not an overstatement to say that<strong> he has touched the lives of everyone&#8217;s live in some way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge for Apple is whether if it&#8217;ll be able to carry out Steve Job&#8217;s Vision without his presence. \u00a0Losing lose such a visionary innovator at a young age of 56, \u00a0lots of attention has fallen on<strong> Tim Cooks<\/strong> who is confirmed to carry on the Apple legacy. He has assured his employees by saying &#8220;I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change,\u00a0however many doubts exist around the topic as Steve Jobs was truly a revolutionary leader.&#8221; With a record-breaking, highest-valued technology company on his shoulders, Tim Cook is expected to carry out Job&#8217;s visions for Apple and more.<\/p>\n<p>I think a revolutionary leader such as Steve Job&#8217;s work is not going to dwindle just because of his lack of existence. Apple has grown as a company at an stunning rate with its innovative products and ideas over a decade, and it is at the peak in the IT business. Many have spoken how Steve Job&#8217;s death was the start of the fall of Apple, however, <em>although he was the leader, I don&#8217;t think Apple would fall that easily.<\/em> Under Jobs, there were many brilliant minded marketers, innovators etc under him, and I believe those people were the main figureheads running the company. Replacement of Jobs possibly might lead Apple to take different approach in marketing strategies and whatnot, but <strong>I believe Apple will never cease to innovate life-changing products in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/10\/07\/technology\/steve_jobs_succession\/index.htm\"><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/10\/0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/10\/07\/technology\/steve_jobs_succession\/index.htm\">7\/technology\/steve_jobs_succession\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/10\/07\/technology\/steve_jobs_succession\/index.htm\">7\/technology\/steve_jobs_succession\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the worlds most influential man, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, passed away on Oct 5th 2011 after battling with pancreatic cancer for 7 years.
