The Resource-Based View and Its Use in Strategic Human Resource Management Research: The Elegant and Inglorious

摘要

Barney’s elaboration on the resource-based view had a major impact on research in strategic human resource management (SHRM) and beyond. In this article, I reflect on its influence and use in SHRM research and analyze the strengths and limitations of the original work. I also review various spinoffs and expansions of the original work as well as trends in empirical SHRM research.
