Alternative approaches to hrm
This chapter has argued that the concept (or perhaps bundle of concepts ) of hrm that has come to Europeans from the usa has two key components: organizational autonomy and strategic integration. It has also argued that these components look very different form the other side of the atlatic. This final section lf the chapter attempts to pull together these differing threads; to argue that despite differences within Europe, a European approach to hrm is discernible; and to usa that to build on available theories to propose a more internationally applicable model of hrm.
