Modify the redefined: strategic human resource development maturity at a crossroads
This integrative literature review reports on strategic human resource development (SHRD) models that examine the strategic embeddedness of HRD (SHRD maturity) in organizations. A review and critique of all existing SHRD models is provided, exemplifying their limitations and building upon their strengths to inform a modified SHRD framework. The latter suggests an enhanced set of strategic components to assess SHRD maturity. This paper further outlines how SHRD aspirations can be practiced within complex, dynamic, and continually changing business and economic environments. The SHRD literature is advanced by new insights on how HRD scholars and practitioners could assess and enhance the maturity of their HRD interventions in the context of constantly changing (dynamic) environments. The modified SHRD framework further contributes to the academic literature with its enhanced set of strategic characteristics, as well as with its SHRD pointers, all of which can offer a better evaluation of SHRD maturity during periods of business and economic complexity and uncertainty
Network capitalism and the role of strategy, contracts and performance expectations for Asia-Pacific innovation partnerships
© Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2018. With the growth of emerging economies in Asia-Pacific over the last three decades collaboration with the aim of innovation between firms within and with partners outside the region have developed substantially. Not always have such partnerships fulfilled their anticipated strategic objectives. The literature suggests that the nature of market arrangements and the role of government within that system play a role, but also innate contracting practices and governance of innovation partnerships are related. Yet, our understanding about the specific relationships between these factors and the emerging partnership innovation culture that facilitates joint business activities in an Asia-Pacific context remains vague. In this conceptual chapter we suggest how characteristics of so called network capitalism in conjunction with the nature of contractual agreements between partners, the alignment of their innovation objectives and the ambiguity inherent in their mutual contributions to the partnership can be interpreted as indicators of joint innovation culture. However, while innovation partnerships generally may result to be bureaucratic, market, clan, or adhocracy, we discuss how in an Asia Pacific context, innovation partnerships are limited by the extent of codification and diffusion of information and the social embeddedness of economic transactions
