HUMAN RESOURCES AS STRATEGIC ASSETS: AN EVOLUTIONARY RESOURCE‐BASED THEORY*
提出一种演化视角的战略人力资源观，认为真正有价值的战略资产源于缓慢形成的“社会架构”，而非高层管理政策，这种架构难以模仿，是企业繁荣的根基。
The paper proposes an evolutionary approach to strategic human resources. This means that, first of all, truly valuable strategic assets are unlikely to result directly from senior management policies. Rather, what is truly valuable is the ‘social architecture’ that results from ongoing skill formation activities, forms of spontaneous co‐operation, the tacit knowledge that accumulates as the unplanned side‐effect of intentional corporate behaviour. Thus, corporate prosperity not seldom rests in the social architecture that has emerged slowly and incrementally over time, and may even predate the tenure of current senior management. Given the low visibility of such spontaneous co‐operation, it is even more likely to be resistant to easy imitation and therefore a valuable strategic asset.
