Apple\'s Make vs. Buy Decision
Of the many approaches and techniques Apple could use for recruiting and talent acquisition, by far the most effective are the following three key success factors. First, determining the level of cultural congruence new potential employees have with the organizational climate is critical, followed by the depth of prospect's experiences in specific technical areas where Apple needs expertise to continually create new products. A third is the extent to which a potential new employee can quickly contribute to the unique Apple new product development process (Tariq, Ishrat, Khan, 2011). These three areas are the most important for the success of a new employee. Finding potential employees that meet these three criterion is exceptionally difficult as their combination fo cultural agility and technical skill make them highly sought after in new product development teams (Lynn, 1998). This type of employee is not specifically motivated to join one company over another based on the traditional recruiting advertising, public relations and promotional strategies used by the majority fo Apple's competitors globally. Instead, this is the type of employee who is motivated by autonomy, mastery and purpose in their work and the opportunity to accomplish a visionary product or idea. That vision or mission that many Apple employees share is what also makes their new product development process so effective, quick to respond to the market, and exceptionally high quality in products produced (Tariq, Ishrat, Khan, 2011).
