Abstract
The McKinsey 7S model proposes seven key points, including: Strategy, structure, systems, staff, skills, style, and shared values, the last of which is central to the rest. An analysis of case study how this model can be applied to assess a company’s competitive and strategic position. Briefly, Google and Microsoft are American worldwide technology corporations, doing almost the same business sectors that relate to the Internet and Technology. Based on the research results from Google LLC and Microsoft Corporation, all the seven factors in the McKinsey 7S model clearly are aligned and critical for these company’s success. there is a significant emphasis on the human resources, especially in the Shared Value, that strongly interconnect and support each other. Thus, the 7S analysis is useful in highlighting a company’s strengths and challenges to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in human resource management and organisation behaviour.
