AMT case
1 Introduction The AMT case offers here the example of an implementation of a method called Strategic Human Resource Management or SHRM. ... The AMT shows a relatively poor implementation of the SHRM approach. This case study goes into the details of SHRM by first stressing its strengths and weaknesses. In a second step we will go into the specificities of AMT and show to what extent (and how) this implementation of SHRM was relatively unsuccessful. ... In that case, the whole process can easily be very unsuccessful and frustrating; we will therefore detail the traps that should be avoided. ... 3 Possible reasons of the limited success of SHRM in AMT This part focuses on the AMT case in order to show the lessons that can be learned. The list of weaknesses of the SHRM method listed above explains part of the limited success in the AMT organization. ... But further analysis shows that the SHRM implementation led to a limited success at different levels within AMT: Organization level : · Strategy : o AMT is organized in relatively autonomous divisions, which might have been a hurdle to a smooth SHRM implementation process. ... o All Divisions of AMT have not followed the process of implementation. ... The SHRM process clearly didnt solve all problems in AMT for all reasons listed above. ... A good example of a very successful implementation of SHRM/OFP is the Mattel Canada Case. ... On the other hand, its relative complexity/subtlety can easily lead to misinterpretations of the methods; AMT is a good example of a frustrating result, due to a poor implementation of SHRM. ...
