| The Idea of Strategic HRM No definitive, robust theory. No agreement on meaning, factors, outcomes. how is SHRM linked with organisational performance? difficult to establish firm relationships given intervening factors: structure, culture & wider environment various typologies of business and associated HR strategies Empirical studies tend to use large-scale questionnaire surveys (Storey) case-studies on SHRM. Theoretical &empirical gaps between rhetoric and real experience - downsizing and redundancies etc. |
