Human Resource (HR)has metamorphosed into a new realm where people are the only resource any firm can leverage for competitive advantage. Other resources like finance, machines, locations, and even the markets remain homogenous and therefore available to all and sundry. What is not available to all is differentiated talent.
We come from a background where companies could hire people to perform specific activities but in the new realm, firms have defined their visions and missions and require specific talents for specific outcomes.
