The organization which I selected for the analysis is Apple Inc. Apple is an American multinational technology company which has its headquarters in California. The company is in the business of designing, developing, as well as selling various consumer electronics. The company is also in the business of providing online services together with computer software. The organization is today regarded as one of the biggest technological companies in the world. The organization is one of the largest in the world today employing more than 137,000 people. Apple is present in almost all countries around the world today engaging with millions of consumers annually. In the world today, I believe that Apple has adopted the systems solution for its activities. The company today values the loss of resources, the ecological diversity, as well as the loss of cultural diversity (Shireman, 1999). The company has placed value in its activities and the way that it deals with people and the environment. It is important to note that it has embraced the work that is being done around the world to ensure that its activities reflect the right values during the operations. The Shireman’s systems approach can be successful for the organization that has been selected. The systems approach can be important so that the company looks like the market which it is serving. Today, it is important to note that such activities promote the wellbeing of the company. The world is more conscious of other aspects of the market as opposed to the economic value only (Shireman, 1999). It is critical to ensure that as a global company there is cultural diversity in the operations. It is also important to consider the ecological diversity in the operations as well as the loss of resources. These values should be at the core of the organization so that it is successful in a more complex world today.
