A Proposal of HR System's Visualization Based on Harvard Model, Life Cycle, and Organization Strategy and Management Type

Rapid economic changes have recently been requesting human resource departments in Japanese firms to transform their roles and services. [1] No paper refers a method to map the themes they talk about and to discuss these issues explicitly by using the Harvard Model and Organization Strategy and Management Type. In this paper, we propose a method using the Harvard Model and Organization Strategy and Management Type. The method is divided into Visualization Map of HR Systems based on Life Cycle and Organization Strategy and Management Type. We asked employees of Human Resource Departments to use worksheets of "visualization map of HR systems based on life cycle" and "Organization Strategy and Management Type". Then, we evaluated the two points on whether they thought the HR System of their company was appropriate and whether they could write down and explain the HR System to other people. As a result, we confirmed that we achieved the goal of identifying issues of the firm and facilitating discussions with management and HR employees of other companies. In addition, this method could play a role in a training program for people who have a little experience as employees of Human Resource Departments.
