Answer to Question 1

Answer: Strategic planning is an ongoing process that is constantly changing in order to find a competitive advantage. Strategic planning attempts to position the organization in terms of the external environment. Companies always need to look for ways to stay competitive, gain market share, and be the first to innovate a new product or service.

Today, HR professions are increasingly taking on the role of being a strategic partner with upper management. In this role, HR professionals are able to focus on matters that are truly important to the company as a whole. They can help the CEO and CFO understand the role human capital plays in the organization and the way it combines with business processes to expand or shrink shareholder value. HR professionals are integrating the goals of HR with the goals of the organization and focusing on expanding its strategic and high-level corporate participation with an emphasis on adding value.
