The Four (Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google) have generated unprecedented wealth and inspired innovation over the last 20 years. They have created hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs and their products and services are used by billions worldwide. Each company appeals to different human instincts - Google to the brain, Amazon to acquisition, Facebook to emotion, and Apple to lust/status. Their market capitalizations now exceed the GDP of many countries. If invested in at their IPOs, $1000 would be worth millions today. They have all become enormously influential global companies.

The Four
“The big four, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google, have generated
unprecedented wealth and inspiration. Over the last twenty years, four
technology giants have inspired more joy, connections, prosperity, and
discovery than any entity in history. Along the way, Apple, Amazon,
Facebook, and Google have created hundreds of thousands of high-paying
jobs. The Four are responsible for an array of products and services that are
entwined into the daily lives of billions of people. They’ve put a
supercomputer in your pocket, are bringing the internet into developing
countries, and are mapping the Earth’s land mass and oceans. The Four
have generated unprecedented wealth ($2.3 trillion) that, via stock
ownership, has helped millions of families across the planet build economic
security. In sum, they make the world a better place. The above is true, and
this narrative is espoused, repeatedly, across thousands of media outlets
and gatherings of the innovation class (universities, conferences,
congressional hearings, boardrooms). However, consider another view.
(The Four, Scot Galloway)

Ben Horowitz, Peter Thiel, Eric Schmidt, Salim Ismaiel, and others
argue that extraordinary business success requires scaling at low
cost, achieved by leveraging cloud computing, virtualization, and
network effects to achieve a 10X productivity improvement over the
competition. But that explanation ignores a deeper dimension that
has nothing to do with technology. From the perspective pf
evolutionary psychology, all successful business appeal to one of
there areas of the body - the Brain, the Heart or the Genitals. Each is
tasked with a different aspect of survival. For anyone leading a
company, knowing which realm you play in-that is, which organ
inspire - dictates business strategy and outcomes. We are irrational
and generous when we are under the influence.
Google speaks to brain; Amazon is a link between the brain and our
acquisitive fingers or hunter-gather instincts to acquire more stuff;
Facebook appeals to our hearts and emotions while the lust of Apple-
branded goods has given the company its cult-like status.

AppleSampleInterviewQuestions
Advanced Human Resource Management Course Project: Recrutment, Selection and Placement
Some Interview Questions at Apple:
• I want to do cow counts in the U.S. What is your approach?
One approach would be to ask if the interviewer has recently had a mental health checkup. But
this question--asked of a technical project manager candidate--is designed to see how you
might organize a difficult project. One not-good answer: "I'd look it up on Wikipedia." My
suggestion: "Contact a cow-counter."
• Are you smart?
How many Americans would leap instinctively to the reply: "Hell, yeah." This question reminds
me of the (probably apocryphal) Cambridge University essay question: "Define courage." One
candidate allegedly wrote: "This is" and walked out. Are you smart? The smart thing might be
to answer: "Dunno. You tell me, smartass."
• What's the most creative way you can break a clock?
I feel sure that this one stimulates florid responses. I feel sure that some bright spark might
offer: "You tell a police officer your name is Ahmed and you've made a clock." There's a
problem inherent in this question, however: Who decides what is creative? I know that Apple
fancies itself as the most creative company in the world. But in doing so, Cupertino makes the
assumption that what it says is creative truly is. Is creativity to be judged today? Or do we leave
it to those who come afterward to judge what we have wrought? You know whom I mean:
Millennials.
