“Strategies Applied in Organization in Big Chinese Society”

l Introduction

        The main role of the Human Resource Management has been widely documented and established by practitioners and even business commentators in the same way. Storey (1998) wrote about the hypothetical view, stating that its contributions has been multiplied obviously from the kind of importance now being given in conventional business strategy course to several other concepts such as core competences, intangible assets, intellectual capital, organizational competence and even knowledge management. The whole idea of the resource that was based from the vision of the firm certainly agreed dominance to the responsibility of people who are the basically the ultimate source of distinctive and difficult capabilities. Likewise, the competitive advantage that is to be derived from learning also places the Human Resource Management at the midpoint period.

There are several businesses that focus on corporate strategies that are now regularly covering ideas that defined in general terms, Human Resource lessons that are needed in order to search their full meaning that includes their dimensions and even difficulties.  From a professional outlook of Storey (1995), there is recently an abundance of hard proof that points to the importance of several Human Resource Management interventions.

        In this study, the importance of strategies applied in an organization towards the human resource is to be assessed whether it could create and sustain a competitive advantage for an organization and to evaluate its effect to its major human resource functions, such as recruitment, selection, development and training, performance evaluation, remuneration and labor relations.

ll Literature Review

The existence of Human Resource Management is very important to allow the organization in having a systematic and competent performance.  However, the strategies applied in the organization directly affect major human resource functions. This could only be possible if the personnel have been informed of several skill priorities and other necessities that could help the organization grow and prosper.

The Human Resource Management plays a vital role in business management and evaluation of careful concentration by almost all kinds of managers within the organization not considering of their differences in functional responsibilities. The different strategies to be applied are very important in determining the different approach to be used in handling the organization. It also affects the most important human resource functions and activities.

In today’s world, technology has played an important role in the success of every organization. Technology is always and has been a crucial part in the development process. Advancing technology allows increases in production and output so that a society, or at least some members of the society, can elevate its standard of living.  Technology and organization is always link with each other (Inkeles & Smith, 1974). By means of globalization, the use of modern technologies around the globe has elevated highly, but disproportionately. Technological improvement, technological implementation, and technological exclusion are very needed for the organization to be at the competitive edge. Technology is not just a piece of equipment but it means the entire body of methods and materials used for achieving objectives. It has a big impact on the company’s continued growth and development. According to Martinsons (n.d.), information technology (IT) in Hong Kong and mainland China has comparable characteristics, but basically vary from the nature of IT application in the United States and Canada. Businesses in Hong Kong and mainland China make sensible use of electronic databases and analytic software applications than their North American counterparts but greater use of private telecommunication technologies.

         Businesses in Hong Kong and mainland China’s also send more of their electronic mail messages to external addressees while intra-organizational information broadcasts are quite odd. These distinctions can not be explained by the different organizational demographics. In addition, like North America, Hong Kong has a high overall level of computerization, institutions that support IT modernization and more than a few large firms.

        While on the other hand, several people believed that China has made immense profitable progress over the last two decades but even with that many are in still in doubt if China can find solutions to the great difficulties and challenges it is facing. In the State of the Union Address of President George Bush in 1999, he proudly stated that “Today, America is the most dynamic, competitive, job-creating economy in history.” And it’s been found out that management education and training has played a vital role in the promotion of the development of the American economy (Wang, 2004). In a changing and demanding economy, the experience of management education and training is a very important tool for facing and handling the difficulties and challenges of companies. The different strategies to be applied in every organization would be useless if managers that are thought of as an engine of economic development of an organization are not competitive enough to handle challenges and difficulties in every organization.         It’s been said that having a good management team plus having the right strategic positioning will determine the company’s success. According to Williams (2002), that companies should learn how to play the human resources game very seriously.

According to Wang (2004), the digitalization of technology and the globalization of the economy, businesses have begun to reorganize in order to enhance their ability to compete. Likewise, industry shifting and modernization, labor force reorganization, competitive rules reforming corporate organization redesigning, etc., all of these were just phrases that professors liked to casually exchange words now these terms are becoming the reality.

For example, the application of the Knowledge-based Economy would definitely be a helpful factor in China’s economic growth. “Knowledge-based economy” is derived from the full recognition of the role of knowledge and technology in economic growth. It is defined as the economy, which is directly based on the production, distribution, and use of knowledge and information... (OECD, 1996).  The present Chinese strategy for economic reconstruction is implemented in two ways: One strategy is to adjust economic productivity.  The current macro-policy for adjusting the economic productivity structure is to even out and reinforce agriculture, impose and develop industry, and encourage and promote services. The second strategy is to regulate the constitution of economic ownership (Wang, 2004).

There are thousands of managers in China, but most of the Chinese believe that there are not enough qualified managers in China’s business community. For once, a high ranking PRC government official complained in his government report: “Many enterprises are poorly run, mainly because of faulty leadership” (Li Peng, 1998).

On the other hand, the Chinese business world is very different from that of the western business world. Chinese has some values and practices that are being practiced by the Chinese’s even along business lines and negotiations (Mille, 2004).  It’s been expected that cultural difference in business negotiations will increase ...
