Introduction
With the ramified economic changes, every organization is inclined towards
strengthen the business outcomes by integrating the business strategies and program. The
company chosen for the essay is Apple incorporation to demonstrate integrity in achieving their
success, using evidence and examples of their business practices. Apple is a company which is
found highly acclaimed to be a quality brand. Apple is considered to be the tech company for
the iPhone and other stylish products (Kirk, 2015).
Thesis statement- The effectiveness of the human resources management is to strengthen the
core competency of company in market.
Issue- 1 Use of HRM in busienss value chain activates
In this essay key issues and arguments on the use of the HRM in the busienss value
chain activities will be discussed. After that on the basis of my own point of views and
perception, I have developed strengthen argument to support the effectiveness of the HRM in
better busienss functioning.
Counter argument for this issue
This support of HRM in Apple Company is developed with a view to make
employees and other KMP to feel free to contribute their innovative ideas is the key success
of the effective business. The use of the human resources management in its value chain
activities program is key pillar for creating core competency in market (Chillas, Marks and
Galloway, 2015). Normally the products launched by the company are found to be user-
friendly in nature as all the employees in the organization have the freedom to give their ideas
and decide which contribute to producing the best product. This is the only reason that the
company like Apple incorporation do not give much importance to the qualified people
instead of that they support the quality and innovative employees who can give their immense
creative ideas to the organization. Apple is considered to be one of the valuable brands
according to the inter-brand, which brought in $171 billion in revenues in the year 2013. The
selling by the company tells its secrets of success in the market (Ferguson, Collison, Power
and Stevenson, 2011). If company fails to integrate its HRM in relation to its busienss growth
then it might result to business destruction in long run.

Main argument
If company uses effective HRM in its busienss then it will show the integrity of the
employees and also helps in keeping them motivated. This is the reason the company
supports the initiates from the employees so that the company can able to satisfy the
maximum of their clients. I believe that by integrating the HRM, it will help employees
working at the worlds best company to know that they are most privileged ones as whatever
the job they are doing are likely to be the part of something great (Clarke and Boersma,
2017).
Issue- 2 Promotion of the HRM program in consistent
with the business growth
Nowadays companies are promoting the HRM programme in their organization in
order to have more expert personnel in their company. The motive behind giving such leisure
to their employees is to have their loyalty to the company so that the process of retrenchment
and switching the company can be reduced in the organization. In doing the course or the
degree programme, employees get stuck to the company and will have to work in the
company usually more than the time they expect Macworld, 2015). This will be add-on
advantage to the company as their turnover cost has been reduced by introducing this degree
programme in the company itself.
Counter argument of this issue
The proper HRM management program should be integrated at each and every branch level.
This will save the time of the company as well as the time of employees too. The issue is
related to cost and benefits associated with the HRM program adoption in business. The cost
involvement of employees also gets lower which give them the feel of loyalty and to do
something good feel for the organization, which is needed by the companies nowadays
(Fortune, 2015).
Main argument for this issue
The essay discusses the issue relates to the Apple contribution in developing the qualified
personnel in its HRM work program. Apple Inc. should indulge in promoting the degree
programme in the organization so that the employees should have the knowledge and degrees
to for their better future. My argument is stronger than counter argument because it will allow
company to strengthen its sustainbitiy. For this, company should start a campaign within the
