According to the Journal of International Social Research by Haslinda (2009), since the 1980s, the US industry of manufacturing underwent a recession which caused the popularity and importance of human resource development (HRD) to rapidly escalate among business organizations, in a desperate bid to overcome their time of intense difficulty. Meanwhile, the human resource management (HRM) shared many differences as well as similarities with the HRD which were both vital for organizations to clarify and understand. This essay will argue that the main areas of differences between HRM and HRD involve within their function, strategy, skills and training, but despite their differences HRM and HRD should be considered as one academic discipline due to how their roles and responsibilities are interrelated to each other. In this essay, the term ‘development’ will be understood as a process that is necessary for any sort of advancement, additionally, the term ‘management’ will be understood as a condition to control. First, this essay will acknowledge why the fundamental differences between HRM and HRD can cause an individual to consider them as two separate academic disciplines, however, it will immediately become clear why this perspective is flawed through a variety of reasons. The subsequent paragraphs will reinforce this argument by explaining how HRM and HRD are two interrelated concepts under the same field of study and is a single academic discipline, rather than as two

Human resource department is the field that takes control of training and overseeing employees.

Capitalism is an economic system in a society in which private owners control industry and trade within a country, rather than the state. Both Karl Marx and Max Weber, have written theories on how this system develops in countries and creates a nation state that is characterised by production and wealth. Marx’s theory takes more of a top-down approach, suggesting that people have little power in how their society is run. On the other hand, Weber’s bottom-up approach demonstrates how people have the ability to initiate capitalism and change their society. Marx’s theory of historical materialism is based on a 5-stage system inevitable of any society, Weber’s theory of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism states that it was a much smaller group within a feudal society whose religiosity inadvertently kick-started capitalism. Although both these theories look at how capitalism develops within a society, Marx’s macro-scale theory is more applicable to every society, unlike Weber’s micro-scale approach that focuses on one group within society and their ‘spirit of capitalism’. Naturally, the theories vary due to the time of writing and the economic or political situation. Marx wrote of historical materialism during a German economic crisis, whereas Weber wrote his theory a generation after, seeing the economy develop and stabilise. This impacted the message they were portraying and influenced two opposing theories.

Leif Edvinsson, Swedish Intellectual and Businessman once said, “The only vital value an enterprise has is the experience, skills, innovate-ness and insights of its people”. The foundation that every successful organization or business is built upon are the people it employees. The talent, skills, experience and worldviews an organization’s employees bring to the table are just as important as the cash, valuables and intellectual property that an organization utilizes to generate income. Without people that have the necessary skill sets and knowledge to make an organization’s capital work, the organization will fail.
