Abstract

This chapter explores the strategic dimensions of human resource management (HRM). It begins by outlining what is meant by the term 'business strategy'. Then, it enumerates the different ways organizations develop their business strategies. It also presents tThree influential models that seek alignment between strategic goals and people management activities such as the best-fit, best-practice, and resource-based view (RBV) models are considered. The chapter assesses the evidence as to the extent to which these forms of alignment are evident, evaluating the relationship that such modes of practice have with the HRM function. Finally, it discusses what empirical studies suggest is occurring in relation to organizational performance.
