TEXT D
If Sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills, American
firms have a problem. Human management is not traditionally seen as a central to
the
competitive
survival
of
the
firm
in
the
United
States.
Skill
Acquisition
is
considered as individual responsibility. Labor is simply another force of production
to be hired/rented at the lowest possible cost, which is a must as one buys raw
material or equipment.
The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen
in
the corporate pecking order. In
an American firm the chief financial officer is
almost
always
second
in
command.
The
post
of
head
of
human
resource
management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.
