Strategic Management is about winning, through understanding opportunities and threats emerging in the environment, an organisation’s strengths and weaknesses and effectively positioning the organisation for competitive advantage in changing times.  Human Resource Management is the process of attracting, developing and maintaining a quality workforce to support the organisation’s mission, objectives and strategies.
As it looks ahead, TATI is focusing on strategic issues as the basis for its future success.  How might Ethan Williams, Director of TATI, use frameworks in the human resources and strategic management processes in planning for TATI’s future success and what do they need to consider in establishing their competitive advantage?



The book
The assignment on chapter 8,11
It is a good idea to use it





You should:
•    Define the Human Resource Management Process
•    Define the Strategic Management Process
•    Define Competitive Advantage
•    Apply frameworks/theories from both processes to TATI; keep in mind that TATI is working towards achieving a sustainable competitive advantage
•    Include recommendations at the end of your assignment – these should be supported by your earlier discussion/application and not just random recommendations – relate to achieving competitive advantage



Possible Structure:
•    Introduction
•    Define the Human Resource Management Process; Define the Strategic Management Process; Define Competitive Advantage
•    A paragraph for each framework/theory you apply from the two processes – use headings – ensure you discuss several frameworks from both processes – define then apply. Note – for HRM process you may have a paragraph for each main step (attracting, developing, maintaining)
•    Recommendations
•    Conclusion
