Amaya Toman Ekuqaleni kwawo-1996 kwakuyisikhathi esihle kakhulu se-Apple. Akubona abaphathi benkampani kuphela abanyakaziswayo, kodwa nezisekelo zayo. Ekuqaleni kukaFebhuwari XNUMX, inkampani yamemezela ngokusemthethweni ukuthi uGil Amelio uzothatha ubuholi bayo ngemuva kukaMichael Spindler.
Igalari yezithombe
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Apple yayingachazwa njenganoma yini ngaphandle kwenkampani ephumelelayo nenenzuzo. Ukuthengiswa kwe-Mac bekudumaza ngokuphelele, futhi cishe zonke izinyathelo zamasu ezenziwa nguSpindler endimeni yakhe zenza isimo saba sibi kakhulu. Kamuva uSpindler wasuswa ebuholini benkampani yaseCupertino esikhundleni sakhe kwangena u-Amelio, lapho ozakwabo abaningi ababeka khona amathemba angenamkhawulo. Ngeshwa, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwaba yize.
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Apple yazama konke okusemandleni futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthola indawo emakethe futhi. Kodwa-ke, konke kuhlulekile, kuqala ngokukhishwa kwekhonsoli yegeyimu futhi kugcine ngokunikezwa kwamalayisensi okukhiqizwa kwama-clones e-Mac. USpindler ubephethe u-Apple kusukela ngoJulayi 1993, ngesikhathi ethatha izintambo kuJohn Sculley.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Njengoba sishilo esingenisweni, akuyona yonke into uSpindler ayithinta eyaphenduka inhlekelele. Esinye sezinyathelo zokuqala anquma ukuzithatha ngemva kokuthatha izintambo kwaba ukwehla okukhulu kwenani labasebenzi kanye nezinhlelo zocwaningo nentuthuko, okuyinto angazange ayicabange njengethembisayo. I-Apple yathatha isikhashana futhi intengo yesitoko yaphindeka kabili. Uphinde wengamela ukwethulwa ngempumelelo kwama-Power Mac futhi wahlela ukuhlela kabusha inkampani ukuze kwandiswe ukungena kwe-Mac.
Kodwa isikhubekiso ku-Spindler kwakuyisu elihlobene nama-clone e-Mac. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Apple yayinelayisensi ye-Mac ubuchwepheshe kubakhiqizi bezinkampani zangaphandle njenge-Power Computing noma iRadius. Wonke lo mbono wawubonakala uwumqondo omuhle ngokwembono, kodwa wagcina usuyisipiliyoni esibi. Umphumela wawo awubanga ukukhiqizwa okuphezulu kwama-Mac asekuqaleni, kodwa ukwanda kwama-clones awo ashibhile futhi, ekugcineni, ukwehla okukhulu kwenzuzo yenkampani. Igama elihle lika-Apple alizange lisizwe ukuvela kwamacala amaningana okubamba umlilo kwe-PowerBook 5300.
UGil Amelio ufike ku-Apple esesikhundleni sobuholi enedumela elenza iningi lenkampani libe namathemba amakhulu ngaye. Isibonelo, wayenolwazi lokuphatha inkampani ye-National Semiconductor. Ekuqaleni, kubukeka sengathi kuzobuyisela i-Apple ebumnyameni.
Nokho, ekugcineni, u-Amelio, owayeyilungu lebhodi labaqondisi bakwa-Apple kusukela ngo-1994, wenza uphawu olubaluleke kakhulu emlandweni ngokuthenga i-NeXT ngebhonasi ewuSteve Jobs. Ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingamakhulu amahlanu ezichithwe ekhanda lika-Apple, u-Amelio wavulela uSteve Jobs indlela.
