Why is HR critical to firm performance?
85% of all firms in the US are service firms.

Low quality HR leads to low quality customer
service.

management translates into competitive

What is unique about Human Resource Management?
HR is multidisciplinary: It applies the
disciplines of Economics (wages, markets,
resources), Psychology (motivation,
satisfaction), Sociology (organization
structure, culture) and Law (min. wage, labor
contracts, EEOC)
HR is embedded within the work of all
managers, and most individual contributors
due to the need of managing people
(subordinates, peers and superiors) as well as
teams to get things done.
