    APPLE BEST FIT APPROACH

     According to Porter (1986), organisations pursue a differentiation strategy through


    performing its activities in the value chain in a unique manner relative to their
    competitors. Product innovation positions a company’s products in a unique way that
    creates better value for customers enabling organisations to demand a premium price.

     Schuler’s Employee Behaviour model highlights 3 strategies- accumulation, utilisation and


    facilitation that businesses could adopt in order to reinforce appropriate
    employee behaviour to match the company’s competitive strategy namely:
    accumulation, utilisation and facilitation (Schuler, 1987).

     Apple employs a facilitation strategy designed to support its differentiation business


    strategy creating a “best fit”.

     Facilitation Strategy is characterized by reward policies that offer egalitarian pay and
    numerous incentives, extensive training & career development policies and employee
    relations policies ensuring high employee participation, cooperative labour management
    relations and job security (Gunnigle, Heraty and Morley, 2011b, p. 52) .

     Egalitarian Pay - Salaries at Apple are competitive, being rated the third highest
    paying organisation in US above Google and Microsoft. The median pay at Apple was
    $121 000 per annum in 2018 (Stebbins, 2018).

     Employee participation - Inclusion and diversity are now an important part of Apple’s HR
    agenda focused on creating a more inclusive organizational culture (Pratap, 2017). Female
    representation in leadership positions is 29% and female numbers under 30 has increased
    by 5% since 2014. Apple is one of the best employers for LGBTI equality by the Human
    Rights Campaign as well as receiving a perfect score in the Corporate Equality Index for 15
    consecutive years.
