Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
Think of a firm you do business with that is facing dramatic changes in order to survive.
(Retailers such as Target and Macy’s, which are facing stiff competition from online retailers are
an example.) How do you think the firm’s personnel can help it adapt? What role will the
company’s HR staff play in helping with that goal?
Which of these activities would you like to engage in your career:
• Establishing the strategic direction your firm should take
• Attracting top-notch people to come to work for you and your firm
• Determining the right people to hire so your team and company are a success
• Helping and coaching people so they become top-notch performers
If you answered yes to these questions, a job managing people might be a rewarding career for
you and an excellent reason why you should study human resources management
