Read the case study on the fictional Hartley Electronics Ltd in Farnham D (2010) Human Resource Management in Context: Strategy, Insights and Solutions, 3rd ed., London CIPD, pp229-231. You are asked to take on the role of an external consultant and to write a report to the chief executive that:

1) identifies the main human resource problems facing the company and, more importantly,

2) provides a reasoned argument justifying whether the company should adopt a ‘best practice', ‘best-fit' or resource-based view of the firm model of HR strategy to achieve a long-term solution to these HR problems.

Your report should:

• Be no longer than 3000 words maximum (excluding reference list) and include an accurate word count.

• Demonstrate critical awareness of the three theoretical perspectives outlined above from relevant literature and how the perspectives can be applied to the case study.

• Conclude with a recommendation justifying a particular course of action which should follow logically from your preceding argument.

Your report should be addressed to the chief executive and written in a style that would enable him to understand the issues, what action needs to be taken and why.
