识别了公司制定人力资源战略时需考虑的因素，并以卡特彼勒和图形控制公司为例，描述了战略的实施与监控过程。
Abstract Business strategy is based upon a knowledge of markets and needs, an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, and an awareness of the political, social, and cultural factors that shape strategy implementation. Miles, et al., 1978; Porter, 1980; Tichy, 1983. As managers adopt a strategic perspective toward human resources, they need to be sensitive to their labor market and employee's attitudes and needs, to the profile of jobs in their companies and jobholder's training and skills, and to key factors that will affect strategic management in their own firms. This paper identifies the factors companies need to consider when formulating human resource strategy and describes the implementation and monitoring of such strategies in two U. S. corporations: Caterpillar and Graphic Controls.
