Abstract

There is growing study on the techniques and policies used by organisation to deal with the twin challenges of diversity faultlines and team tax autonomy to enhance social integration and decision quality which are indispensable factors in modern competitive advantage. This study explores and discusses the key attributes of characteristics of diversity faultlines and team task autonomy within the international business environment. The case of how Apple Company is examined in detail. From the experiences of Apple it is possible to argue that while an organisation may not be able to completely deal with the challenge of diversity faultlines, it can mitigate the effect of it with the appropriate response strategies. Six of them have been highlighted and these are task autonomy, establishing superordinate (shared) team identity, intergroup teams, intra-team communication leadership style, decision making norms, openness to change.
