以罗克韦尔国际公司为例，描述了多元化企业如何通过公司总部和人力资源职能为下属业务单元创造价值，适合关注企业战略与HR角色结合的读者。
Abstract One of the biggest challenges facing multibusiness corporations is to add value to the businesses that they own. Diversification by itself is no longer seen as a value to share‐holders or to the businesses. This article presents a description of how a diverse corporation, Rockwell International, is trying to add value to its businesses. The corporate office and the Human Resources (HR) function are singled out for their roles in leading this effort at Rockwell. The first section of the article describes the value‐adding corporation as a type of corporation that is u combination of the classical divisionalized structure and the holding company model. Next Rockwell lnternational and its new CEO, Don Beall, are presented and discussed; the strategy used is also described. The Human Resources Strategy that complements the business strategy is then identified. Thefinal section describes the role of the human resource function itself. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
