If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills, American firms have a problem Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired--rented at the lowest possible cost--much as one buys raw materials or equipment.
The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy. 【B1】______ . The post of head of human resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. 【B2】______ . By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central--usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firms hierarchy.
While American firms often talk about the vast mounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms. 【B3】______ And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result, 【B4】______ . If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated. 【B5】______ , and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. 【B6】______ , the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
A. the money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees
B. in an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command
C. the executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO)
D. if there is no human resource department
E. if the bottom half cannot effectively staff the processes that have to be operated
F. more time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity
G. problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive
H. the head of human resource will achieve a rise to higher position
【B3】______
