@fireeyesedits: Steve jobs 1991 next business presentation is more valuable than anything #stevejobs

Bruce Van Deventer :

The point of this video is that you can be famous as a business genius and also be a total failure.

KnightWolf :

For the genius he was, watching this is so painful because not only did they lose the whole market, but Next didn’t even make a dent. Best outcome was what we got, Next sold for 400m to Apple, and we got Steve Jobs CEO back and OSX the variant of Next OS. Just the old videos of Next make me cringe lol 👍❌

Jobs was incredibly easily in many markets, but his high standard for perfection pretty much prevented him from attaining any market dominance until the 2000s. It wasn’t until the 2000s that Jobs perfection premium came down from being 10x the cost of the competition to 1.5-3x. NeXT was wildly overpriced but it was great software/hardware and is the basis for macOS today

And that’s why it’s called the MacBook Pro

Obviously an internal video memo, “My name is Steve Jobs if you don’t know who I am”. Hahaha. Not sure if that’s gold or pure pompousness. 🤣

1991, Steve Jobs miscalculated the Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy for NeXT, leading to its failure as a hardware company. While Jobs successfully anticipated that a new enterprise "professional half" of the market needed high-powered workstations, his strategic errors prevented NeXT from capturing it.The primary reasons Jobs and NeXT struggled in 1991 include:1. Severe Over-Engineering and High CostsJobs insisted on perfection, resulting in a beautifully designed, sleek black magnesium cube. However, this extreme focus on aesthetics and hardware features drove the price up to $10,000 per machine. This massive price point completely alienated individual users, students, and academic institutions—the very crowd Jobs originally intended to target.2. Misjudging the CompetitionJobs focused heavily on competing against dominant workstation giants like Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). While fighting these hardware titans, he completely missed the massive, rapid rise of standard PCs running Microsoft Windows, which were rapidly becoming cheaper, more powerful, and dominant in the professional corporate world.
