As a manager, you must align organizational activities and personnel with strategic objectives. Your skill in human resource management goes beyond attracting talent to the right roles in the organization. You will develop and maintain competitive advantage by evaluating human capital resources, assessing the impact of expansion, mergers, and acquisitions on personnel and strategic direction, and maximizing competitive advantage through cost leadership, differentiation, and focus on key strategic objectives.
In this assessment, you will begin to identify the internal environment and human capital assets as they relate to your strategic objectives.
