The paper begins by discussing what theory, research, and practice reveal about developing organizations that are both highly aligned and adaptive. A conceptual understanding of the sometimes complementary, sometimes antagonistic organizational requirements for alignment and adaptation is the first requisite, and is detailed in the next section. Next is a discussion of what is known from theory, research, and practice about changing organizations. Both these last sections use the history of Apple Computer to ground discussion. The third section evaluates current practice in developing a more competitive organization using a set of design specifications, derived from change theory, which must be met by organizational change methods that seek to develop both an aligned and an adaptive organization. The final section focuses on an analysis of Strategic Human Resource Management Profiling (SHRM), a process for realigning an organization and its human resource management policies with competitive realities developed by the authors at Becton Dickinson and Company.

The field of Human Resource Development has emerged as one of the most dynamic and multifaceted areas of business and management in recent years. Yet despite the mosaic of topics, debates and approaches, existing textbooks often overlook important emerging topics within the field, and do little justice to the variety of strands involved in the study of HRD. Human Resource Development: Theory and Practice encourages students and academics out of their comfort zones by offering the first comprehensive overview that encompasses all the constituent components of HRD, allowing the reader to clearly separate concepts within the field and provide a meaningful basis for detailed discussion and debate. This book serves as a comprehensive introductory text to the field of HRD, as well as an ideal platform for a more in-depth advanced study of the field. It is an invaluable resource for students of HRD, or any reader interested in how HRD can play a major role in oiling the gears of innovation within an organization.
