A chapter in Strategic Human Resource Development, 2013, pp 3-22 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract “Strategic” is a modern term. It is a term used to excess in keynotes and speeches by management practitioners. Managers speak about strategic planning processes, the need for business area strategies, and some even aim to emulate the strategies of mice (Johnson, 2000). In the vocabulary of almost any executive manager we come across, strategy will be, to a lesser or greater extent, a common feature. Googling “strategy” will produce an amazing 971,000,000 results. HR development is not immune to this catchall term—as the title of this book readily reveals. In this first chapter, we will introduce the current discourse on strategic HR development and the concept for later chapters of this book.
