Pixar merged with The [[Walt Disney Company]] in 2006, and Jobs now serves on Disney's board of directors.  Jobs is one the very few persons who has been successful with running a company that takes a horizontal diversification approach (selling and marketing a variety of products that would appeal to their original consumer base). He is also one of the [[adoption success stories]].
