Abstract

The struggle of multinational organizations has long been on the mind of researchers studying the multinational operations of large scale enterprise systems. To counter the struggle, several approaches have been suggested, focused on aligning business strategy with the allocation of resources. However, existing governance issues have led enterprises to employ quick ad-hoc strategies. Through this paper, we emphasize on the need for an agile and collaborative approach to effective governance in order to enhance management in large-scale business systems like Apple Inc through consistent value creation. The proposed framework aligns the key elements of the enterprise system that can act as enablers for effective governance.
