"Research into the links between HR and performance has assumed that managers have a high degree of strategic choice in this area. We argue this choice is constrained by members of the network within which the firm operates. Two contrasting firms are examined to discuss how and why strategic choice varies by reference to the resource dependency theory. This discussion leads us to conclude that the links between HR and performance can be understood only in the context of the characteristics of network relationships."
