Strategizing Strategic Human Resource Management

Abstract

The trend toward approaching human resource management practice from a strategic perspective has slowly continued to increase in popularity in organizations.  Human resource management education continues to attempt to develop courses and meaningful learning experiences that allow students to understand the nature of strategic HR, largely in tandem with continued criticism over the relevance of management education in general.  This article presents a field-based learning experience that allows students to investigate and analyze an organization’s HR practices and policies from an integrated and strategic perspective.
