Somehow Apple has succeeded in damping down this effect
I don’t know how Apple is organized internally but if I may be allowed to speculate, I think the way to avoid these ego issues is by moving people around constantly. If you don’t allow any team to establish a “territory” on a particular product, you may be able to get away with it.
- saagarjha 6y agoI don’t think those teams have had a major shakeup…
- xixixao 6y agoThis is not how Apple works, unlike FB or Google people stay on their teams for a long, long time. Based on my knowledge of the company, it's pretty heavily top-down led. That would be my guess on why it's able to execute against its strategy. But I am not sure it's particularly better at it than other tech giants. My guess for the main reason Apple is so successful is its strategy, not their execution of it: Sell expensive top-class products (even if that means being late to market), and establish strongly walled ecosystems between those products.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoSell expensive top-class products Yes, I'm guessing margin is everything for Apple. If they can't make 30-40% on a product then they will leave it for someone else.
- Someone 6y agoThat strategy didn’t work for manufacturers of workstations. The PC eroded their market from below. Somehow, Apple manages to prevent that from happening.
