Explanation:

Organizational strategy refers to the overall positioning and competitive approach of an organization in the marketplace. Strategic management is the deliberate effort to align the organization’s long-term direction with organizational strategy. Good strategic management integrates organizational functions into a strategic plan so that all organizational units operate in a coordinated fashion in support of the overall strategy.

Strategic human resource management (SHRM), then, is the process by which an organization’s management integrates its human resource plans and programs with the strategic plan of the organization. SHRM stands in contrast to traditional human resource management (HRM), which contributes to an organization at the operational level. For example, the traditional human resource (HR) concern of selecting job applicants who display skills that are predictive of good job performance may only be implicitly related to the strategic objectives of the organization.
