Abstract

Despite being subject to the same range of pressures commonly associated with globalisation, there remains considerable diversity in the manner in which firms - and countries - manage their human resources. This can be ascribed to variations in accumulation regimes and modes of regulation, themselves products of specific historical experiences (see Grahl and Teague, 2000: 160-178). In this chapter we explore the context within which the South African human resource management (HRM) system operates, and the implications thereof in terms of actual HR managerial practice within the firm.
