Management That Changed the World: A Review of How the Tech Giants Do It

Mark Herbert Cabuang | Oscar Porras | Mario Jacinto Robles | Ruel Maningas

Discipline: management studies

 

Abstract:

This paper intends to review the management practices in huge technology-centric companies. Specifically, the study looked into Apple Inc., Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and other similar organizations. Following the fundamental management functions, the researchers examined how these organizations translate and implement the different aspects of management. As globalization makes the world smaller, they infer how these global companies spread their practices into different countries and locales. The technology industry is fast-paced and exciting, thus this study investigated what make these companies successful and become the leaders in their industry. What the researchers found is surprisingly familiar. The business fundamentals remain, just with added new approaches to adapt to the accelerated requirements of today. Though it would be easy to assume that technology is the heart of how these giants run their business, it is still just secondary to human resources. The human element is still at the root of these tech giant’s successes.
