This paper will provide the annotated bibliography for the
professional challenge paper for the completion of MBA 6241
Section 101. This will be the initial research for the challenge
and action plan. This annotated bibliography will provide
sources, highlight practitioners, and conference proceedings in
relation to the professional challenges.

1. Clardy, A. (2008). Policies for Managing the Training and
Development Function: Lessons
From the Federal Government. Public Personnel Management,
37(1), 27-54. Retrieved from Business Source Complete
database.
The administration of employee training resources is guided, in
part, by laws and regulations. This is exemplified in the case
studied here of federal employee training. After reviewing the
literature on the use of human resources development(HRD)
policies, the policy that guides the administration and delivery
of training to the federal work force is described in terms of
role requirements for various members of the HRD federal
workforce, as well as in terms of specific policies across a
variety of HRD practice areas. The practical effects and
implications of using policy for HRD practice are considered. A
generic list of HRD policies applicable to any employment
setting, derived from the federal examples is provided. Future
research directions are identified.

Business Source Complete database.
Mary E. Graham explains in this article that it is possible to
master the competencies of Human Resource Management and
still underperform. According to the author, “This disconnect
may occur because current competency work reflects the
perspective of top management clients of human resources to
the neglect of the employee perspective. In addition,
competencies have become linked so tightly to firm outcomes
that normative influences in competency development are lost.
1 the author makes a great correlation between upper
management and the employee prespective.

Complete database.
Authors Alvaro Lopez-Cabrales, Ana Perez Luno, and Ramon
Valle Cabrera, test how human resource management HRM,
practices influence the development of employees knowledge
innovation, capabilities and a firms performance. According to
the authors, “Results confirm that HRM practices are not
directly associated with innovation unless they take into
account employees’ knowledge. Specifically the analyses
establish a mediating role for the uniqueness of knowledge
between collaborative HRM practices and innovative activity, a
positive contribution of innovations to the company’s profit.

International Journal of Human Resource Management, 20(3),
515-527. doi:10.1080/09585190802707276
Janet Marler discusses whether e-HRM makes the HR function
more strategic. A model of e-HRM strategy formulation is
developed and the efficacy of the HR function becoming more
strategic is discussed in this paper. Based on this model, a
primarily administrative HR function is unlikely to become
more strategic with the addition of e-HRM. In contexts where e-
HRM goals are likely to be strategic, however, the tendency for
HR managers to copy best practices, be overly skeptical poses
serious challenges. Implications and avenues for future research
are discussed.

with the addition of e-HRM.

Authors Dana Minbaeva, Nicolai Foss, and Scott Snell highlight
the knowledge perspective that has emerged in management and
research in the last two decades. The authors also demonstrate
the potential and current relations regarding human resource
management. The authors notes that Because HRM is
fundamentally concerned with managing human capital, it
focuses on all firms’ basic knowledge asset.

Achievements, Methodological Issues
and Prospects. Journal of Management Studies, pp. 129-142.
doi:10.1111/j.1467-6486.2008.00809.x.
Jaap Paauwe published his normative framework describing the
essence of HRM. Paauwe presented HRM as a new approach to
personnel management, emphasizing its strategic contribution,
its closer alignment to business, the involvement of line
management, and focusing on HRM outcomes like commitment,
flexibility and quality. The achievement of these human
resource outcomes was, in turn, expected to contribute to a
range of positive organizational outcomes, including high job
performance, low turnover, low absence and high cost-
effectiveness through the full utilization of employees, now re-
labeled as human resources. It is not difficult to understand the
wide appeal that the notion of HRM had (and still has) to
academics and practitioners alike. It led to the renaming of
chairs/departments within universities and to changed job titles
in the business community. Many academics on both sides of
the Atlantic have become active in this field, with a special
focus on the relationship between HRM and Performance.
Within this rapidly expanding field of study, the HRM–
Performance relationship has been approached from a variety of
perspectives rooted in organizational behavior, sociology,
economics, industrial relations and organizational psychology,
with a particular emphasis placed on the impact of various
combinations of human resource practices on a range of
performance outcomes at the individual and organizational level
of analysis.
7. Ranft, A., Ferris, G., & Perryman, A. (2007). Dealing with
celebrity and accountability in the
top job. Human Resource Management, 46(4), 671-682.
Retrieved from Business Source Complete database.
Annette Ranft explains in her article that today, human
resource executives assume prominent leadership roles in their
firms and play important roles in the strategy process. Along
with the expansion and evolution of the HR function, the
responsibilities of coordination, control, and accountability for
organizations and their leaders, particularly the CEO, remain.
Forming strong relationships with CEOs thus is viewed as one
way to encourage HR’s prominence in the firm’s overall
success, particularly its financial health. In recent years, CEOs’
presence in the mass media has surged as well, with some CEOs
achieving celebrity status. Celebrity status has the potential to
increase CEO discretion, decrease CEO accountability, and
expand firm resources. As such, achieving celebrity status can
affect the relationship between CEOs and HR executives in
regard to accountability. In this article, we discuss
accountability as a key job demand and address some of the
complexities and dynamics of CEO accountability.

strategic capabilities for any organization. Each key note
speaker brings their expertise to the filed Human Resource
