As businesses grow, all sorts of things that once were done on the fly - including creating new products - have a way of becoming bureaucratized.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Businesses increasingly have to differentiate themselves around their people, as much as their product, because thing are so replicable now.
In any business, you have to evolve.
There's a few in our history, where the person who creates it becomes almost the product itself. Jobs is one of those.
I came up with the idea that I wanted to develop products because I saw services businesses being a dead end long term.
We often hear people talk about the concept of 'uberization,' where a new technology completely turns an industry on its head and forces us to rethink the way things have always been done. No industry will remain untouched by these forces.
From the beginning of time, business has cozied up to government and gotten restrictions on competition and subsidies and stuff.
Even when early innovations start to succeed, it is not uncommon to see growing businesses sabotaged for threatening the status quo.
Bureaucracies tend to grow and to brag about their growth based on how many individuals they have and how much money they spend.
I believe businesses don't grow or develop in terms of a blueprint. There is a huge element of opportunism involved.
Business is constantly changing, constantly evolving.
