An Agile and Collaborative Framework for Effective Governance to Enhance Management in Large-Scale Enterprise Business Systems: The Case of Apple Inc

Abstract

The struggle of multinational organizations has long been on the mind of researchers studying the multinational operations of large scale enterprise systems. To counter the struggle, several approaches have been suggested, focused on aligning business strategy with the allocation of resources. However, existing governance issues have led enterprises to employ quick ad-hoc strategies. Through this paper, we emphasize on the need for an agile and collaborative approach to effective governance in order to enhance management in large-scale business systems like Apple Inc through consistent value creation. The proposed framework aligns the key elements of the enterprise system that can act as enablers for effective governance.

The Mediating Impact of IT Capabilities on the Association between Dynamic Capabilities and Organizational Agility: The Case of the Jordanian IT Sector

“…In recent 20 years, modern business organizations are experiencing a highly turbulent environment, where their operations and performance are strongly shaped by a wide range of factors, including technological advancements, complementary obligations, time-to-market pressures, and intense competition (Bondzi-Simpson and Agomor, 2021;Bruque-Camara et al, 2016;Harsch & Festing, 2020). This aggravating environment has elevated pressure on business organizations to continuously adjust and predestine their strategies and operational systems in ways that promote effectiveness and efficiency (Calleja et al, 2018;Chikhale & Mansouri, 2015). Under such circumstances, the most crucial and essential strategy is that organizations should develop their capabilities to willingly sense and respond to external modifications and be agile (Kushwaha et al, 2021;Vaishnavi & Suresh, 2020).…”

Innovation driven ecosystem for quality skill development in India

It has the potential to integrate innovation and skill ecosystem, if both these ecosystems are integrated then India can become a global manufacturing and skills hub of the global economy.…”

Identifying critical factors for agility in innovation ecosystems: an exploratory study in the agriculture sector

“…Shin et al (2015), state that in organizations, strategic agility positively influences internal alignment or "strategic consensus". Chikhale & Mansouri (2015) point out the importance of building consensus and trust, by identifying stakeholder groups and developing action plans.…”

“…After the vision, there is the coordination of platforms, as observed by Argyropoulou et al (2019), who defended the importance of an agile entity that manages a variety of scientific fields and coordinates various financing mechanisms. Chikhale & Mansouri (2015) present similar ideas but focus on the case of Apple.…”

“…The frequency of interaction between those involved in managing a range of scientific fields in the network was identified, with the practice of constant dialogues on sector policies (with policymakers). The proximity between these actors, through the coordination of platforms, is a movement that has been discussed in cases such as Apple (Chikhale & Mansouri, 2015) and European platforms (Argyropoulou et al, 2019) which can contribute to agility at Embrapa.…”
