No input from the HRM function to the company's strategic plan. • One-Way Linkage — The strategic business planning function develops the plan and then informs the HRM function of the plan. HRM helps with implementation. • Two-Way Linkage — HR issues considered during the strategy formulation process.

HR is an integral member of the strategic planning team.
