HRM, the way it is set up and conceived in our managerial tradition, is
ill prepared for the many things that have been happening in the wolrd of
business. It has been hit, among other things, by: cultural diversity;
the human implications (the real ones) of TQM/CQI, reengineering, OL,
self-managed teams, etc.; globalization, ... There will be many
situations where I think that HRM people might even be resistors to
organizational changes because they have been cought off guard.
