Sheet.
（答案请写在答题纸上）
Reaping the Rewards of
Risk-Taking
A)
Since Steve
Jobs resigned as chief executive of Apple, much
has 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 let's think different, to
borrow the Apple marketing slogan of years back.
Let's look at Mr. Jobs as a role model.
C)
Above all, he
is an innovator. 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:
you
can't
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
crucial
ingredient
in
all
economic
progress
—
higher
growth for nations, more competitive products for
companies, and
more
prosperous
careers
for
individuals.
And
Mr.
Jobs,
many
experts
say,
第

exemplifies what works in the
innovation game.
D)
is,
other nations,
Mr. John Kao notes, are now ahead of the United
States in producing
what
are
considered
the
raw
materials
of
innovation.
These
include
government
financing
for
scientific
research,
national
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 combining skills
from many
fields
into
products
that
he
calls
mash-ups
(
打碎重组
),
l
ike
the
iPhone,
which
redefined
the
smartphone
category.
culture
of
other
countries
doesn't support
the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs
exemplifies, as America does,
Mr. John
Kao says.
F)
Workers of every rank are told these
days that wide-ranging curiosity and continuous
learning
are
vital
to
thriving
in
the
modern
economy.
Formal
education
matters,
career counselors say, but real-life
experience is often even more valuable.
G)
An adopted
child, growing up in Silicon Valley, Mr. Jobs
displayed those traits early
on.
He
was
fascinated
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 with 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 chief
executive in 1997.
H)
His
path
was
unique,
but
innovation
experts
say
the
pattern
of
exploration
is
not
unusual.
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,
The Innovator's
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
Innovator's Dilemma
popularized the
concept of
(
颠覆性的
)
innovation.
J)
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
consistent
search
for
new
ideas.
Associating,
he
adds,
is
the
ability
to
make
idea-producing
connections
by
linking
concepts
from
different
disciplines.
K)
habit
for
them.
Innovative
companies,
according
to
the
authors,
typically
enjoy
higher
valuations
in
the stock
market,
which
they
call
an
premium(
溢
价
)
”
.
It
is
calculated
by
estimating
the
share
of
a
company's
value
that
cannot
be
accounted for by its current products
and cash flow. The innovation premium tries to
quantify
(
量化
)
investors'
bets
that
a
company
will
do
even
better
in
the
future
because of
innovation.
L)
Apple, by their calculations, had a 37
percent innovation premium during Mr. Jobs'
first term with the company. His
years in exile resulted in a 31 percent
innovation
discount. After his return,
Apple's fortunes improved gradually at first, and
improved
markedly starting in 2005,
yielding a 52 percent innovation premium since
then.
M)
There
is no conclusive proof, but Mr. Hal Gregersen says
it is unlikely that Mr. Jobs
could have
reshaped industries beyond computing, as he has
done in his second term
at
Apple,
without
the
experience
outside
the
company,
especially
at
Pixar
—
the
computer-animation
(
动画制作
)
studio
that
created
a
string
of
critically
and
commercially successful movies, such as
N)
Mr.
Jobs
suggested
much
the
same
thing
during
a
commencement
address
to
the
graduating
class at Stanford University in 2005.
