STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTOVERVIEW This case provides an excellent example of the linkage between organization strategy and humanresources processes. When an organization's strategy shifts, successful implementation requires thatnew employee behaviors be rewarded and some old behaviors be either ignored or sanctioned. Inaddition, it may require the development of a whole new organization culture. The implications foremployees who have adapted to and been successful in the previous culture are ominous. Resistance toproposed strategic initiatives is common under these circumstances. Most organizations fail to plan human resource changes when new strategic initiatives aredeveloped. They often fail to understand the existence of such linkages, much less to identify andimplement the appropriate human resources strategies. In the present case, Dean Blake has explicitlyrecognized and proposed human resource changes which are needed to implement his strategy for theCollege. Clearly,…
