Abstract: This paper argues that as firms compete in an increasingly knowledge-intensive environment in the 21st century, they will need to structure their HR processes and practices to support their internal knowledge assets. Using a resource-based view of the firm, this paper categorises HR policies into a framework that is based on the knowledge requirements and dimensions of the core capabilities of the firm. This framework explains how outsourcing, training and development, teambuilding, and research and development initiatives are mapped for different firms that have different knowledge, skills and ability, as well as tacit and explicit knowledge requirements.
