Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: 2,3, University of Western Sydney (School of Management), course: Human Resource Strategy, 25 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: During recent years an efficient Human Resource Management (HRM) has become more and more important for companies to achieve and sustain both competitiveness and economic success.

Initially this work is going to introduce and define different organizational strategies a
