Abstract

Spotlights Hewlett‐Packard (HP), the US company venerated as a leader in getting the best from its people. Looks at HP's beginnings and how they have coped with business life from its policy to give line managers fair chances to do their best in all spheres of the company. Shows how human resources used four broadly defined areas: routine process matters; routine people matters; strategic/long‐term process matters; and strategic/long‐term people matters. Depicts a situation where human resources was imbued into the culture of the organization to the betterment of the human resource function.
