Debate about HRM and its context:
-The best fit school: HRM more effective when aligned with internal and external context.
-The best practise school: universalistic perspective: one best way to do things in every company. An
example of this is Pfeffer’s 7 best practices:
1. Selective recruitment and selection. 2. Extensive training. 3. Performance related pay. 4.
Teamworking. 5. Information sharing and communication. 6. Reduction of status differences.
7. Employment security.
When taking into account environment you think about purpose, the why. Mission is how to
accomplish and vision is your efforts. Therefore environment influence the strategy and thus HRM.
