这不仅仅关乎半年前迫使他退居幕后的疾病。
病魔一度令乔布斯严重消瘦,最终不得不进行肝脏移植手术。
而就在十多年前,几乎所有人认为乔布斯的事业及其共同创立的苹果公司 (Apple) 已经走上绝路。
硅谷和华尔街都断定,它们已经与科技的未来无缘。
然而,到了今年初,苹果已然重生。
在 1 月份的发布会之前,即使是按照乔布斯自己的苛刻标准衡量,外界对苹果的期望程度也是异乎寻常的。
批评者总是用贬抑的口吻谈论乔布斯创造的“现实扭曲场”:他能让观众信服,那些在其他厂商手中似乎尚未成形的技术已经被苹果完美地应用。
为了激起消费者购买他们自己也不知道是否真正需要的电子产品的欲望,打消他们的疑虑极其关键,而乔布斯则早就被公认为这种艺术形式的大师。
在iPad 发布之前的数月内,科技界对苹果这款最新的突破性产品猜测纷纷。
据传它是没有键盘的触摸屏电脑,甚至可以媲美2001年的 iPod 和 2007 年的 iPhone 带来的影响。
在 1 月份的发布会上,乔布斯带上台的iPad 没有让人们失望。
对于 F?斯科特 ?菲茨杰拉德 (F. Scott Fitzgerald)广为流传的名言(美国人的生命中没有第二幕)而言,没有比这更坚决的反驳了。
乔布斯首次登上报纸头条时,甚至比现在的马克?扎克伯格 (Mark Zuckerberg) 还要年轻。
早在书呆子备受追捧之前,由于在普及个人电脑 (PC)中发挥的关键作用,以及苹果在华尔街的成功上市(当时乔布斯年仅 25 岁),乔布斯就成为了科技界的第一个摇滚明星。
如今,三十年过去了,乔布斯成为了在塑造世纪之交的世界中居功至伟的美国西海岸的几大科技巨头之一。

Lead-in Hints
Success isn’t always about matching a job to a personality; it can also result from the personality opening up more opportunities in the work force -- often through effective networking. Extroverts tend to have a much larger network than introverts, affecting the number of external connections they have to the work force. This will place them at a distinct advantage if it means they wind up with more occupational choices.

Para. 9-11 BMW’s highly automated Leipzig plant conducive to mass customization
Para. 12-18 BMW’s attempt to handle the key issues of mass customization: workforce flexibility, production capacity expansion, product-line expansion.
Part I Questions about Part I
❖Q1. What’s the main idea of Part I (Para. 1-4)? ❖BMW used mass customization to promote its
sales as a handy marketing device and to inject flexibility into almost every aspect of the company, particularly, manifested by its ability to cater for fickle customer desires and its rhythm of work.
❖Q2: Is there any solution to this problem?
Q3: What lessons of potential risks of customization can be learnt from this case?
Q4: In your opinion, what products are more suitable for mass customization?
❖Q1. What is “customization”? Do you like MyMuesli’s customizing its cereal food? Why or why not?
❖However, the company neglected robust processes of mass customization. Whenever a report on customers’ favor was published, the manufacturing capacity was insufficient. For lack of human labor mixing muesli from about 65 different categories of options by hand, the company had to turn down prospective customers by setting a daily order limit.
❖Q2. What does “heavily unionized workforce” mean? What changes have been brought about by the deals BMW struck with its workforce?
❖1) A union is a group of workers who have come together to make collective decisions about their work and their working conditions. Heavily unionized workforce means that a relatively high proportion of employees belong to a union.
❖2) A number of challenges can arise for a company to manage a heavily unionized workforce, especially because of lack of flexibility. Union workers often work set hours, and they must take a certain number of breaks during the day, no matter how heavy or how light the workload. Deals BMW struck with its workforce enabled it to bring in new ways of working and manage its workforce more or less in accordance with production demands.
