Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) counted the majority of economic entities, and human resource management (HRM) has continuously been proved to be one of the essential corporate strategies for hundreds of years. Interestingly, they don’t seem to integrate tightly. The possible explanations might be the objective resource shortage and subjective unwillingness. This paper provides a systematic analysis of the subjective and objective reasons for SMEs’ lack of attention to HRM, as well as the potential benefits of strategic HRM, and offers corresponding recommendations. The paper argues that SMEs should incorporate the management concept and practices of strategic HRM into their own organizational management systems. Also, since SMEs may have difficulty in overcoming relatively poor social networks, it is suggested that governments and human resource agencies can help establish links between SMEs and strategic human resource specialists.
