UMikhal Marek I-Apple ayivilaphi ngisho nangonyaka omusha futhi iyaqhubeka nokuqasha ngokushesha ama-reinforcements ukuze ithuthukise izintshisekelo zayo zebhizinisi. Owokuqala kwezengezo ezintsha eqenjini nguJohn Solomon. Le ndoda isisebenzele inkampani yaseMelika i-HP iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-20 edlule, ingomunye wamalungu abaphathi bophiko lwamaphrinta. Ochwepheshe bacabanga ukuthi i-Apple, ngenxa yokuxhumana kwayo, kufanele isize ikakhulukazi ngokudayiselwa kwemikhiqizo ezinkampanini ezinkulu nezikhungo zikahulumeni. Eminye imithombo ithi uSolomoni angadlala indima ebalulekile ekuthengisweni kwamazwe ngamazwe kwe-Apple Watch, ikakhulukazi esifundeni sase-Asia-Pacific, esawela ngaphansi kwegama lakhe ngesikhathi sobuholi be-HP. Kodwa lokhu okungenzeka kuncane kakhulu okungenzeka.
UJohn Solomon yena unqabile ukuphawula ngezinsolo zokushintshwa kwendawo, kodwa okhulumela i-HP ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uSolomon usewushiyile umsebenzi wakhe njengamanje. Ngakolunye uhlangothi umkhulumeli ka-Apple ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ubeqashwe eCupertino, kodwa wenqaba ukunikeza imininingwane eyengeziwe mayelana nesikhundla sakhe noma indima yakhe enkampanini.
Uma wonke amahemuhemu eqinisekisiwe, uSolomoni angaba ngempela umuntu obalulekile we-Apple ukuze izinze emkhakheni wezinkampani, lapho i-Apple ingazange ibe nempumelelo enkulu esikhathini esidlule. Kuze kube muva nje, ngaphezu kwalokho, ushiye ubudlelwano bebhizinisi namakhasimende ezinkampani kubathengisi abahlukahlukene. Kwakungonyaka odlule kuphela lapho u-Apple anquma khona ukuzithathela lesi simo futhi waqala ukuqasha abasebenzi abasha ngokuqondile ukuze baqinisekise ukuthintana okuqondile kwenkampani namakhasimende ezinkampani.
Kuphinde kube yisinyathelo esibalulekile kule ndawo ku-Apple ukungena ebudlelwaneni ne-IBM. Ngokusekelwe ekusebenzisaneni phakathi kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili, isivele yasungulwa iqoqo lokuqala lezicelo emkhakheni wezinkampani kanye nezinkampani zinezifiso ezinkulu zokukhangisa imikhiqizo yazo ezinkampanini zezindiza, ezinkampanini zomshwalense, ezikhungweni zezokwelapha noma ezitolo ezidayisayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-IBM izophinde inikezwe umsebenzi wokuthengisa kabusha amadivayisi e-iOS kumakhasimende ayo ezinkampani.
Kodwa-ke, ukuthengwa kwabasebenzi abasha be-Apple akugcini lapha. U-Apple usanda kuthola ukuqiniswa okubalulekile okuthathu, kanti ngenkathi uJohn Solomon engacatshangelwa ngendima yakhe enkampanini, lezi ezinye izinto ezintathu ezitholwayo kuwumzamo osobala we-Apple wokuqinisa iqembu elizungeze i-Apple Watch nokuthengisa kwabo. Sikhuluma ngowayeyilungu labaphathi benkampani yemfashini uLouis Vuitton namadoda amabili embonini yezokwelapha.
Owokuqala kulaba abathathu nguJacob Jordan, owafika eCupertino ngo-Okthoba esuka esikhundleni sokuba yinhloko yemfashini yabesilisa eLouis Vuitton. Kwa-Apple, iJordani manje iyinhloko yezokuthengisa emnyangweni wamaphrojekthi akhethekile, okuhlanganisa ne-Apple Watch. Ngemuva kuka-Angela Ahrendts ngakho-ke okunye ukutholwa okuvela embonini yezingubo.
Omunye owengeziwe kuleli thimba uDkt. Stephen H. Friend, umsunguli kanye nomongameli wenhlangano yocwaningo engenzi nzuzo i-Sage Bionetworks, eyakha inkundla yokwabelana nokuhlaziya idatha yezokwelapha. Imisebenzi ye-Sage Bionetworks ihlanganisa inkundla ye-Synapse, inkampani eyichaza njengethuluzi lokusebenzisana elivumela ososayensi ukuthi bafinyelele, bahlaziye futhi babelane ngedatha. Okungafanele kushaywe indiva ithuluzi le-BRIDGE, elinikeza iziguli ikhono lokwabelana ngedatha ehlobene nocwaningo nabacwaningi ngefomu lewebhu.
Okokugcina, udokotela uDan Riskin, umsunguli nomqondisi wenkampani yezempilo iVanguard Medical Technologies futhi onguprofesa osebenza eNyuvesi yaseStanford onguchwepheshe bezokuhlinza, ufanele ukunakwa. Le ndoda enokuhlangenwe nakho kweminyaka eminingi emkhakheni wayo futhi iyisiqiniseko se-Apple futhi ngasikhathi sinye obunye ubufakazi bokuthi i-Apple izogcizelela kakhulu imisebenzi yezempilo nokuqina ku-Watch yayo.
I-Apple Watch - kungani iyinhle ngempela? Ukukala ukushaya kwenhliziyo yami? Ukufunda umlayezo wokuthi nginomlayezo we-Facebook? Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 ngisebenzisa imikhiqizo ye-Apple, kodwa okwenzeka kamuva nje kubi - umklamo omubi we-iOS ne-OS X, kanye nokuntuleka kokusebenza.
