Discussion Questions
1. Compare and contrast planned and emergent approach.
2. Discuss how HRM is related to each of these approaches.
1. It is possible to distinguish between "planned strategy" (the intended strategy determined by a formal strategic planning process) and "emerging strategy" (the strategy that actually happens as a business responds to changes in its external environment). If only business strategy was as simple as writing and executing a business plan to achieve the strategic goals. If all strategy could be planned carefully, then all companies would surely succeed.
Many of your business management and strategy studies focus on classic planned business strategy models, tools and theories. The planned strategy is based on a formal process of setting corporate goals and developing a coherent business strategy with the available resources to achieve those goals. Therefore, the planned strategy is the formal process of business planning outlined in all business textbooks. A pattern of action that develops over time in an organization in the absence of a specific mission and objectives, or in the absence of a mission and objectives. "Mintzberg concluded that" strategy arises over time as goals clash with and accommodate evolving reality.
2. According to this perspective, companies vary in the way they are integrated in the social and economic structures. The four strategic approaches identified differ significantly in their implications for management advice. Understanding that the formulation of a strategy does not always take place in a rational-planned manner, due to complexities in both the external and internal environment, is important for our understanding of the strategic management of human resources.
State intervention in France and Germany, for example, has shaped HRM differently from the United States and the United Kingdom. A key theme of the systemic approach is that' decision makers are not isolated, calculating individuals engaging in purely economic transactions,' but are members of a' rooted in a deeply interwoven social network ' culture. In fact, therefore, organizations and the choices of their members are embedded in a social relationship network
