Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to analyse how strategic human resource management can create a sustainable competitive advantage if it achieves two essential goals: organisational flexibility (both resource and coordination flexibility) and fit (both external and internal). The achievement of these goals at the same time allows the origination of a dynamic fit, able to create a firm that renews itself, and at the same time, it is given a fast response ability to environmental requests. With the aim of testing these matters, the work is organised in three main sections.

Keywords: competitiveness; external fit; internal fit; human capital; human resource management; strategic HRM; organisational flexibility; organisational strategy; organisational resources; competitive advantage. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
