Since Steve Jobs resigned as chief executive of Apple, much ha
37、s been said about him as a peerless business leader who has created immense wealth for shareholders, and guided the design of hit products that are transforming entire industries, like music and mobile communications.B. All true, but lets think different, to borrow the Apple marketing slogan of year
38、s back. Lets look at Mr. Jobs as a role model.C. Above all, he is an innovator (创新者). His creative force is seen in products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and in new business models for pricing and distributing music and mobile software online. Studies of innovation come to the same conclusion
39、: you cant engineer innovation, but you can increase the odds of it occurring. And Mr. Jobs career can be viewed as a consistent pursuit of improving those odds, both for himself and the companies he has led. Mr. Jobs, of course, has enjoyed singular success. But innovation, broadly defined, is the
40、crucial ingredient in all economic progress-higher growth for nations, more competitive products for companies, and more prosperous careem for individuals. And Mr. Jobs, many experts say, exemplifies what works in the innovation game.D. “We can look at and learn from Steve Jobs what the essence of A
41、merican innovation is,“ says John Kao, an innovation consultant to corporations and governments. Many other nations, Mr. John Kao notes, axe now ahead of the United States in producing what are considered the raw materials of innovation. These include government financing for scientific research, na
42、tional policies to support emerging industries, educational achievement, engineers and scientists graduated, even the speeds of Internet broadband service.E. Yet what other nations typically lack, Mr. Kao adds, is a social environment that encourages diversity, experimentation, risk-taking, and comb
43、ining skills from many fields into products that he calls “recombinant mash-ups (打碎重组 ),“ like the iPhone, which redefined the smartphone category. “The culture of other countries doesnt support the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs exemplifies, as America does,“ Mr. John Kao says.F.

Formal education matters, career counselors say, but real- life experience is often even more valuable.10G. An adopted child, growing up in Silicon Valley, Mr. Jobs displayed
45、 those traits early on. He wasfascinated by electronics as a child, building Heathkit do-it-yourself projects, like radios. Mr. Jobs dropped out of Reed College after only a semester and traveled around India in search of spiritual enlightenment, before returning to Silicon Valley to found Apple wit
46、h his friend, Stephen Wozniak, an engineering wizard (奇才). Mr. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985, went off and founded two other companies, Next and Pixar, before returning to Apple in 1996 and becoming chiefexecutive in 1997.H. His path was unique, but innovation experts say the pattern of explo
47、ration is not unusual. “Its often people like Steve Jobs who can draw from a deep reservoir of diverse experiences that often generate breakthrough ideas and insights,“ says Hal Gregersen, a professor at the European Institute of Business Administration.I. Mr. Gregersen is a co-author of a new book,
48、 The Innovators DNA, which is based on an eight-year study of 5,000 entrepreneurs (创业者. and executives worldwide. His two collaborators and co- authors are Jeff Dyer, a professor at Brigham Young University, and Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School, whose 1997 book The Inn

The academics identify five traits that are common to the disruptive innovators: questioning, experimenting, observing, associating and networking. Their bundle of characteristics echoes the ceaseless curiosity and willingness to take risks noted by other experts. Networking, Mr. Hal Gregersen explains, is less about career-building relationships than a
