Human Resource Management (HRM) should never be a driver in determining business strategy, but a case could be made that HR policies or constraints could hinder strategy, but only long enough to change the HR policy. Suppose HR has a policy to only hire applicants who are college graduates (they are an engineering firm). Management decides to embark on a new strategy of constructing some of the units they have designed. The HR policy would work for the construction manager, but not for the welders, pipefitters, electricians, painters, insulators, etc. that they wold need to complete such projects.
