…CONCEPT OF STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
• The development and usage of the word suggests that it is composed of stratos (army) and agein (to lead).

…CONCEPT OF STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Wheelen and Hunger (1995, p. 3) define strategic management as ‘that set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long-run performance of a corporation’.
Hill and Jones (2001, p. 4) took a similar view when they defined strategy as ‘an action a company takes to attain superior performance’.
