C) a process that does not add value to organisations
D) a means of evaluating the effectiveness of HR practices in an organisation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lundy and Cowling's (1996) view strategic HRM as a decision-making process that involves aligning HR practices with organisational goals and objectives. Thus, choice A is the best answer as it reflects their perspective on strategic HRM. Choices B and C are incorrect as Lundy and Cowling (1996) argue that strategic HRM is necessary and adds value to organisations. Choice D is partly correct as evaluating the effectiveness of HR practices is one aspect of strategic HRM, but it does not fully capture Lundy and Cowling's (1996) model.
