Abstract
This study aims to determine how human resource management strategies have influenced Huawei’s development. The study employs theoretical analysis and a case study approach to test several propositions. The results show that taking special measures in terms of recruitment, training, compensation and incentives, career support, HRBP, and organizational culture, have as much a positive impact on competitive advantage, employee motivation, and reinforcement of the internal labor market, as systematic and effective human resource systems. Study limitations and topics for future research are also discussed.
