  9. Advantages: Can help reduce uncertainty Integration of HR policies and practices Can build flexibility Disadvantages: Difficult to forecast in turbulent times Plans are inaccurate due to lack of personnel data and/or clear business plan Advantages and disadvantages of HRP

  10. Planning seen as too problematic in changing environment Low organisational priority + weak HR function = inadequate resources Preference for pragmatism Research is over-theoretical and fails to recognise much HRP activity Explanation for lack of empirical evidence of HRP

  11. Planning is critical to strategy because it identifies: Gaps in capabilities that would prevent successful implementation Surpluses in capabilities that suggest opportunities for improving efficiencies and responsiveness Poor utilisation of highly valued organisational resources Lam & Schaubroeck, 1998: 5 HRP and Strategic HRM
