“UBS‘s Steve Milunovich today weighs in on the recently released biography of Apple’s late co-founder, chairman and CEO, Steve Jobs, Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart Into a Visionary Leader, by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, and finds that it ‘better covers and understands Jobs’ work’ than did the prior biography, by Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs,” Tiernan Ray reports for Barron’s.
“Milunovich finds lessons for Apple investors,” Ray reports. “Among the insights he glans are that ‘Tim Cook has been the right choice,’ for CEO.”
“Second, Milunovich concludes that Jobs’s genius for the consumer put the company in a position to capitalize on consumer tech for years to come,” Ray reports. “Specifically, Apple has room to move into the Internet of Things, more broadly, such as home automation… Milunovich also thinks Apple’s forthcoming corporate headquarters building, a donut-shaped colossus sometimes referred to as a spaceship, was not a sign of peaking, but of Jobs’s legacy.”
