A Glance Into The Steve Jobs Empire With An IntellectSpace Knowledge Map

This past year has been a good one for technology giant Apple Inc, which saw consumers scrambling for iPhones, iPods, MacBooks and all the trendy accessories that hipsters couldn’t do without. Another growing factor into the company’s success is now its physical retail stores devoted to everything Apple, from which 20 percent of revenues are derived. The physical design and details of the stores combined with the unique approach to customer service is said to be what draws first-time customers in and brings them back time and again (see article by Katie Hafner in The New York Times).

In analyzing the mass appeal and success of Apple, we must look directly to the company’s Co-Founder and CEO, Steven P Jobs. NewsVisual created an IntellectSpace Knowledge Map of the notable past and present connections of Jobs, who likely had no idea more than three decades ago when he co-founded Apple, the global presence the company would eventually achieve.
