Strategy and Implementation for Human resource Managment

    Consider the following statement about Strategy and Human Resource Management (SHRM). The economic and
    technological context has changed very significantly over the last thirty years and this has led to some key
    adaptations in HR systems in a firm. ?How might a firm develop, interrelate and manipulate its resources –
    human and non-human – to become the best adapted, the most consistently profitable of all firms in its
    industry, despite the efforts of other firms to emulate or undermine it? This is the nub of the debate in
    strategic management around sustained competitive advantage? ( Boxall and Purcell 2011, p. 97).
    Task
    Critically analyse Fordism. Compare and contrast Fordism with Lean Manufacturing linking them to the different
    approaches to SHRM in order for a firm to achieve sustained competitive advantage through oganisational
    strategy/direction and HRM (?best fit?, ?best practice? and the Resourced Based View). You are required to
    examine the HR challenges, issues and practices associated with various directional strategies.

    Task Description Stimulus
    Consider the following statement about Strategy and Human Resource Management (SHRM). The economic and
    technological context has changed very significantly over the last thirty years and this has led to some key
    adaptations in HR systems in a firm. “How might a firm develop, interrelate and manipulate its resources –
    human and non-human – to become the best adapted, the most consistently profitable of all firms in its
    industry, despite the efforts of other firms to emulate or undermine it? This is the nub of the debate in
    strategic management around sustained competitive advantage” ( Boxall and Purcell 2011, p. 97).
    Task
    Critically analyse Fordism. Compare and contrast Fordism with Lean Manufacturing linking them to the different
    approaches to SHRM in order for a firm to achieve sustained competitive advantage through oganisational
    strategy/direction and HRM (‘best fit’, ‘best practice’ and the Resourced Based View). You are required to
    examine the HR challenges, issues and practices associated with various directional strategies.
    The following aspects should be critically analysed to reinforce your argument:
    Strategic approaches explained in chapters 3 & 4 in your prescribed text book. Work systems and changes in
    economic production (chapter 5) including the two key elements to each HR system: the kind of work
    organisation involved; and the employment practices that are used to hire and manage the people doing the
    work.
    To demonstrate your research ability and understanding of the topic, your essay should include:
    o Practical (real world) examples, with evaluation of the successes and/or failures evident in those  examples
    o Reference to relevant theories and models
    o Synthesis of research from multiple, correctly cited sources (at least fifteen (15) peer reviewed  research articles).
