Abstract
This chapter shows, step by step, how a human resources strategy should be developed. The starting point is the corporate strategy, the corporate purpose, the competitive advantage and the desired understanding of leadership and organization. Only then it does deal with HR in a more narrow sense. What are the critical, HR-relevant challenges? What are critical target functions in the company? Which HR version is appropriate? What are key HR topics and how should they be aligned strategically and in the light of the desired understanding of leadership and organization? A special aspect is the question of how an HR strategy can be developed in an international context.
