Multivector strategy vs quantum strategy by Apple Inc

Ledenyov, Dimitri O. and Ledenyov, Viktor O. (2015): Multivector strategy vs quantum strategy by Apple Inc.

Abstract

We propose that the quantum strategy can be considered as a most effective winning virtuous organizational strategy, allowing the board of directors to build a prosperous organization with the optimal business model in the economies of the scale and scopes at the time of the great opportunities and unexpected challenges by the globalization. We provide a concise definition on the quantum strategy: The organizational strategy, which can be derived with the use of the quantum strategy search algorithm by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the modern organization at the time of the global integration. We demonstrate that the quantum strategy search algorithm applies the quantum logic (the probabilistic logic) on the top of the inductive, deductive and abductive logics (the value based logics), aiming to create the most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the modern organization in the information century. We highlight the main existing differences between the multivector strategy (the multiple different strategies implementation at the selected time period) and the quantum strategy (the most effective optimal winning virtuous organizational strategy implementation at the selected time period), considering the real-life case study on the strategy formulation and execution by the interlocking interconnecting directors in the board of directors in the Apple Inc. We express a research opinion that the quantum strategy can be clearly defined/distinguished in line with the generally accepted scientific definitions/meanings/ principles in the quantum mechanics science. We think that the prosperous organizations will create and implement the quantum strategies to increase their valuations and outperform the competitors in the economies of the scales and scopes at the time of globalization.
