Question

what are recommendations on the existence of an HCM section in an organisation

Answer 1

This review takes an evolutionary and chronological perspective on the development of human capital management literature. We divide this body of work into six themes that reflect the directions and trends researchers have taken over approximately seventeen years of research. During this time the field took shape, developed rich conceptual foundations and matured into a domain that has substantial influence on research activities in HC (human capital) and related management disciplines. We trace how the field has evolved to its current state, articulate many of the major findings and contributions and discuss how we believe it will evolve in the future. This approach contributes to the field of HCM by synthesizing work in this domain and by highlighting areas of research focus that have received perhaps enough attention, as well as areas of research focus that, while promising, have remained largely unexamined.
