Apples success is intrinsically linked to the founders
vision that technology, marketing and sales aloneare not sufficient to deliver corporate success. Akey factor is to have people who believe verystrongly in the values of the company and whoidentify it with as creators and innovators the adcampaign Think different featuring Picasso,Einstein, Gandhi was described by Steve Jobs asa way for the company to remember who theheroes are and who Apple is.

RECRUITMENT STRATEGY
Apple recruiters have come up with a new strategyfor hiring new employees -- just give friendly retailemployees at other companies cards with the words"You're amazing. We should talk." on the front of
them.
On the back, the cards detail how the employee atXYZ company can become an employee for an AppleStore. This definitely helps with the hard work of
hiring new Apple employees to fill the nearly 2,400positions nationwide caused by the nearly 35-40 newstores opened each year.

Bisociation, arguably the most fundamental and pervasive creative techniqueof all, is the process of a product that results from combining two apparentlyopposite ideas to create a third useful or insightful hybrid of the two, in a kindof creative dialectic.
The iPhone is a hybrid of phone, camera and computereach
originally conceived as a device utterly incompatible with anddis arate from the other two.

THE APPLE BISOCIATIVE APPROACH TO
RECRUITING
Apples use ofbisociation is further manifested in SteveJobs original eureka epiphany that transformed the
opposition of then-extant powerful corporate mainframecomputing vs. personal and then only imagined
advanced home computing into the desktop Apple Mac.
Likewise, the conventional opposition of macro andmicro managementusually not undertaken by thesame person, got bisociated through the hands-on style
of Jobs, so that both the big picture and the tiniestdesign details were within his personal grasp andcontrol.
Jobs personally did all the recruiting for his team. He
never delegated that to anybody else.

THE APPLE BISOCIATIVE APPROACH TO
RECRUITING
Once I arrived I was greeted by Apple employees and Ifilled out a piece of paper pertaining to the job likeavailability and what products I have owned orcurrently own. Once everyone had arrived we wereloudly invited into another room where all theemployees heading the seminar cheered and clapped.We got seated and everyone introduced themselves,everyone. Next we watched a few videos whichshowed the history and atmosphere of Apple retail.
After each videothe group was asked by an employeewhat we thought about the video or did anything stickout? Once the videos were completed we split up intogroups and an Apple employee took us to a differentpart of the room and we answered individual
questions. These questions were presented on aniPad

MUCH DEEPER THAN RAH-RAH
unique individual and team player: applauding the candidates as a groupwhen they enter the seminar, yet requiring self-introductions on an individualbasis after that.
product user and developer: Getting the applicant to use the tools (s)he will beexpected to improve. Giving the job candidates iPads to use during interviews isa perfect way to do this.
customer and job applicant: Again, the iPad given to candidates can identifythem as current customers or motivate them to become future customers. corporate product/service tester and tested applicant: Asking candidates
what they think of the video is a clever way to collect feedback about the video,for the purpose of evaluating and improving it, as well a method of gleaninguseful feedback about the candidates.
competitor and cooperator: Another applicant reported the following
experienceThe second interview felt more like an interview but it was done ingroups, I was interviewing with two other people. We entered a room and theyasked us a question that we all had to answer.This is a variation on thepsychological game called Lets-You-and-Him-Fight, inasmuch as irrespectiveof however collegial other aspects of the interviewing format may seem, thecandidate responses in this situation are in direct audible and visible competition

JOBS ROLE
grow vs. not growJobs hire-retire-fire core teamstrategy. It may seem paradoxical for a company to growwithout some growth in the core-staff numbers, but,Steve had a rule that there could never be more than onehundred people on the Mac team. So if you wanted to add
someone you had to take someone out.
And the thinking was a typical Steve Jobs observation: Icant remember more than a hundred first names so I onlywant to be around people that I know personally. So if itgets bigger than a hundred people, it will force us to go toa different organization structure where I cant work thatway. The way I like to work is where I touch everything.

COMPANY CULTURE AT APPLE
Design is everything. Everything!
Traditional companies dont have a design culture.Sure, they have designers, but design isnt the #1priority from the very top of the organization to thevery bottom. For Apple, design is everything.
Design reports to the CEO
Apple is probably the only company where designreports directly to the CEO. If design is the mostimportant element of a product, why wouldnt theCEO want to take part? Jobs is asystems thinkerand designer.

COMPANY CULTURE AT APPLE
They do not market researchTheres no place for market research at Apple. Thepeople at Apple have good taste. They know whatsgood, and theyll stick to their convictions. The
responsibility is on them, not the will of the people.
If its not perfect, it doesnt go outNear perfect is not good enough for Apple. They
shoot for perfection. Their policy is that if its notperfect, itdoesnt go out to the public. They work hardfor perfection, while other companies believe ingetting it out there and fixing it later.

HR AT APPLE HR to be much more involved in business
decisions, rather than just being caught up inpersonnel policies
HR looks for great ways to solve or enhanceemployees' education, knowledge ormanagement's interaction with employees.
A flatter kind of organization with much fewer
levels of management. Communication isstronger for that reason
Best Retention rate in the silicon valley

PROBLEMS FACED BY APPLE High input costs involved when trying to come up with
newer technologies. Since the technology space is changing so fast there
is a fear of the product failing.
The old customers feel cheated since Apple comesup with upgraded products far too quickly.
Lot of duplicity and fake products in the market. Creativity or innovation is always associated with
Steve Jobs, so difficult to know whether Apple will beable to sustain the same growth model. Apple products are expensive and it gets difficult to
recover the cost in case a new product fails.

emphasis on fun, and a place where people arehappy to go to work.
There are no cubicles, they have an open spacewhere everyone can sit and chat.
Facebook values which include focus on impact, bebold, move fast and break things are painted onthe walls and anything else employees want.
