Staffing to Support Business Strategy

Exploring the relationship between strategy, advantage, and staffing, this guide shows that a firm's talent philosophy and business creed determine its employment needs and explains that a company's choice and execution of hires directly relates to its overall business sense and competitive edge. Examining nine strategic staffing decisions all firms must make, this essential reference illustrates the importance of people in the quality of a company's technology and products.

Jean M. Phillips and Stanley M. Gully have their doctorates in human resources and are professors of human resource management at Rutgers University. They are the coauthors of Strategic Staffing. They both live in Annandale, New Jersey.
