21ST Workshop on Strategic Human Resource Management: "STRATEGIC HRM IN THE 21ST CENTURY"

The field of HRM has now evolved world-wide and perhaps matured in the western developed nations. Considering the rapid pace of globalisation, developments in emerging markets, expansion of the European Union and the growing uncertainties in the world, it is now time to examine the emerging HRM issues in the present dynamic business context. Issues such as what aspects of HRM and in what context contribute towards firms' performance; relevance of established models of HRM in different contexts; HRM systems in new sectors such as knowledge based; outsourcing of HR; and ethical issues and HRM.
