In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple as CEO with the unenviable task of turning around the company he had founded. One night, Jobs discovered a scruffy British designer toiling away at Apple's corporate headquarters, surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. It was then that Jobs realized he had found a talent who could reverse the company's long decline.
英語のハードカバーなのですが、11月14日にAppleのジョナサン・アイブの本が出るようです。
どんな内容なのかはわからないのですが、
Based on interviews with Jony Ive's former colleagues and Kahney's own familiarity with the world of Apple, this book gives insight into how Jony Ive (now senior vice president of design) has redefined the ways in which we work, entertain, and communicate with one another.
ということでインタビューを通じてジョニーがデザインをどう再定義したのか、などにせまっていくようです。
いくつかレビューがあって、
"Those searching for a telling portrait of Jobs's management style and its impact on Apple will not be left wanting." --Publishers Weekly
"Enjoyable, well-written, very informative, and, most important, up to date . . . a unique approach, about [Jobs], from someone as steeped in Apple's culture and history as Kahney." --CNet
ということで、ジョニーを通じてスティーブのマネージメントスタイルやAppleのカルチャーなどを知ることができるようです。
Appleファンの方は是非どうぞ。
