In this paper, the dilemmas facing HRM on how to establish itself as a distinct area and yet avoid a particular disciplinary allegiance and level of analysis are assessed. HRM is seen, like business strategy, as a meeting ground between established disciplines.

The importance of developing pluralistic HRM research is re-affirmed. HRM as a pluralistic forum |
