| Abstract: | Few empirical studies have been done to date regarding how human resource (HR) planning should be linked to strategy. An extensive in-depth study of four large, complex, and very successful companies supports the widespread belief that HR management can be a powerful tool to enhance competitiveness when policies and practices are driven by a firm's strategy and by the key environmental factors is faces. It is shown how the areas of selection, appraisal, reward, and development are handled by these firms. Based on middle managers' perceptions, a contingency framework is presented which offers guidelines as to how certain HR management practices should be implemented to gain competitive advantage. |
