Strategic Human Resource Management

Strategic Human Resource Management


Leaders today must juggle the tasks of monitoring current performance, managing incremental innovation, and leading revolutionary or discontinuous change efforts. A clear understanding of the drivers of performance, innovation and change is required to manage human capital in today's competitive environment.

The NUS Business School Strategic Human Resource Management Program defines the means of ensuring this delicate balance that aligns human resource strategy with the overall business strategy. As human capital moves to assume a pivotal role in helping organizations achieve competitive advantage in the knowledge-based economy, the human resource function is increasingly being called upon to assume a more strategic orientation to drive success. This re-orientation of the HR function toward corporate and business strategy has multiple impacts upon the role of every leader in the organization.
