Human Resource Strategy Review

Walker believes that human resource strategy first begins with the process of defining what human resource issues are. The text shows how these strategies should be integrated into the overall mission, vision and values of organizations. Staffing, benefits, organization design and structure are all outlined as they relate to strategic planning. Walker also emphasizes the planning of human resource strategies for those issues directly related to other business strategies that are helpful in building a competitive edge or maintaining parity with other organizations. I would recommend this text to early graduate students studying business administration.
