One of the strangest research trips I ever went on was to the Kannon Do Zen Center in Mountain View, California. It came at the end of a long day at Apple trying to understand what made the company tick. My office at the time was a stationery closet on the fourth floor of One Infinite Loop, Apple’s corporate headquarters, a makeshift space an iPhone’s throw from the senior executives including Steve Jobs.
我經(jīng)歷過的最奇特的一次考察之旅,是去加州山景城(Mountain View)的觀音禪修中心(Kannon Do Zen Center)。那天去該中心之前,我整個白天都是在蘋果公司(Apple)度過的,目的是弄清楚這家公司的經(jīng)營之道。當(dāng)時,我的臨時辦公據(jù)點就是蘋果總部“1 Infinite Loop”4層的一個文具柜,包括史蒂夫?喬布斯(Steve Jobs)在內(nèi)的蘋果高管就在距我?guī)撞街b的地方辦公。
