- Description
- This paper, titled "The New Corporate Heroes" by David B. Norman discusses the evolving role of human resource management within corporate organizations, highlighting the shift from traditional personnel management to a more strategic, influential position in companies. It references a 1976 Fortune article, emphasizing the profitability of appointing high-caliber executives to oversee human resources. The paper notes the increasing prestige and power of chief personnel executives, often reporting directly to the CEO and, in some cases, ascending to CEO themselves. It underscores the growing recognition of the personnel function's importance to organizational profitability, evidenced by rising salaries for top HR positions and the impact of changing economic conditions, legislation, and the acknowledgment of the value of people to an organization.
