Abstract
This study evaluates the extent to which involvement of the HR function in strategic planning predicts organisation performance according to development strategy type. Data were obtained from 639 organisations relating to three of the types of development strategy defined by Miles and Snow. The results indicate that the degree of involvement of the HR function in strategic decision-making is similar, whatever the intended strategy. They also show that for organisations following a prospector strategy, HR function involvement is positively linked to productivity/efficiency, to competitive position and to client acquisition and growth.
