46、y Doesn Anybody Copy Apple?Apple products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, every one knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competiti on is set by Apple and the n the race is

47、 on to climb the path of improveme nt is unq uesti on able. When Apple releases a product that defi nes a category or dramatically cha nges the structure of an in dustry, it becomes obvious what n eeds to be built. But what I won der is why every one wants to copy Apple s products but no body wants

48、to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copy ing because it s not successful; sec on dly, Apple success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evide nee for the first hypothesis.

Being valued lower than the average company in the | S&P（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it s not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copy ing Apple | if it results in b

If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化） very quickly, why should one bother?When inno vati on practiti oners are asked what makes Apple successful, the an swers regard ing the cause of this success border on the my

51、thical. The climax of this hypothesis is thechief-sorcerer ” theory of success which places one magiciaike Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells （符咒）.What about Apple own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware , software and service

52、s as unique Apple advantages. Its a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no“ move the Earth ” panic to become an integrated co

It s complex, it s subtle, but its not magic. Its a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.67. Whe n a new product
