STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR GLOBAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

ABAGAIL MCWILLIAMS, DAVID D. VAN FLEET, AND PATRICK M. WRIGHT


Abstract

This article extends the literature on the role of human resources in global competitiveness by focusing on the ability of transnational firms to create a sustainable competitive advantage through the strategic management of their work force. We focus on the ability of managers to strategically draw from multiple human resource labor pools, creating a competitive advantage for transnational firms vis-a-vis domestic and multinational firms. A model, which extends the resource-based view of the firm, is developed.
