Alignment of Information Technology and Human Resources Strategies

Abstract

Increased productivity within modern organizations over the past two decades has largely been generated by more effective use of information technology. However, the increase in technological capability has necessitated a wide range of organisational changes. These changes to process and work structure have implications for the recruitment, remuneration, reward, skill levels and general management of people. Therefore some of the greatest challenges have been associated with integrating and aligning information systems with the appropriate human resources management strategies.
