Lenovo’s Yang Says Jobs’s Achievements ‘Unmatched in Our Time’
Yang Yuanqing, chief executive officer of Lenovo Group Ltd. (992), comments on the death of Apple Inc. (AAPL) Chairman Steve Jobs.
Jobs ensured Apple’s competitors are “pushed even harder,” Yang said today in an e-mailed statement distributed by Lenovo, China’s biggest maker of personal-computers.
“Today the world lost one of its greatest innovators and visionaries with the passing of Steve Jobs. His achievements are unmatched in our time.
‘‘Steve led this industry like a beacon for the past decade. As a competitor, he helped ensure all of us pushed even harder, and I am confident his legacy will continue to energize the industry for many years to come.
‘‘We admired his spirit, his creativity and his passion. He not only changed the technology industry, he changed the world and made it better.
‘‘While we will all feel this enormous loss, I am confident that this industry will take to heart the lessons Steve taught us about innovation.’’
