Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

INTRODUCTION
The software industry has come a long way. And like all big events of history, it happened
part by design and part my accident. In the 70s, not many people in India understood the word
"software" and there was no separate software industry. Throughout the 70s, multinationals like IBM
and ICL (UK) were the largest providers of hardware to the industry—and it came bundled with the
operating systems and a few basic packages. Larger enterprises—including the Indian defense and
public sectors—which needed customized applications, had their own teams that did everything from
installing systems to writing software.
The information technology sector has been playing a key role in fuelling the Indian
economic performance which has been stellar without robust GDP growth India’s total IT
industry’s(including hardware) share in the global market stands at 7% in the IT segment the share is
4% while in the ITES space the share is 2%. The industry is dominated by large integrated players
consisting of both Indian and International service providers. During the year, the share of Indian
providers went up to 65-70% due to the emerging trend of monetization of captives. MNCs however
continued to make deeper inroads into the industry and strengthened their Indian delivery centers
during 2008.
Over the last few years, India has established itself as a destination of choice. While cost is
not unimportant, other factors have become increasingly vital. These include quality, customer
services, time-to-market, reliability and security features like data protection, respect for intellectual
property rights and network security. New growth areas have emerged like Knowledge Process
Outsourcing (KPO), remote infrastructure management, product engineering services and R&D
services. Growth has given rise to fresh challenges on many fronts, particularly in the areas of human
resources and infrastructure.
1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This section covers the relevant literature related to Human Resource Management, the
evolution of Human Resource management (HRM), the theoretical foundation of SHRM, the
approaches to SHRM, the role of HRM and its people, and the implementation of HR strategy.
1.1 The Evolution of HRM
There are many different perspectives, among HRM scholars when describing the route the
HRM movement has taken from the past to the present. However, it can be said that the main
discussions lie in the transition from personnel management to HRM. Schuler and Jackson (1999)
claim that the evolution of HRM can be divided into two stages only; the first from personnel
management to HRM, and the second from HRM to SHRM. Other scholars (Baird & Meshoulam,
1984; Ehrlich, 1997; Langbert & Friedman, 2002; Nankervis, Compton, & Baird, 2008; Torrington,
1989) provide other perspectives on this route of evolution, which are also useful to re-trace the
development of HRM.
Baird and Meshoulam (1984) identify the development of HRM by characterizing certain HR
activities as representing each stage of the development. These five stages allow for various HR
practices, depending on the requirements of the organization. The five stages range from basic HR,
functional growth, controlled growth, functional integration, through to cross-functional integration.
The complete stages and their characteristics can be seen in table 1.

Table 1 Five Stages of HRM
Stage Characteristics
1. Basics Focusing on paying, hiring and firing people
2. Functional Growth
• Have programs for recruitment, compensation and benefits,
affirmative action, labour relations, training and
development, etc.
• Lack line in management involvement
3. Controlled Growth
• HR programs and activities being evaluated
• HR programs are focused on the organization’s needs
• Line managers are aware of the HR programs
• Programs are often specialized and decentralized
4. Functional Integration
• HR programs are integrated
• Programs are related to problems areas rather that
specialized functions
• Involved in organizational development, productivity
improvement,
• change and planning
5. Cross- Functional Integration
• HR programs are fully integrated into the plans; and
activities of other corporate areas such as marketing,
finance, production, etc.
• Line managers become the driving force behind HR
programs
• Corporate HR function responsible for development, policy
and strategy
• A total evaluation system determines the effectiveness of
HR practices
(Source : Baird & Meshoulam, The HRS matrix: Managing the HR function strategically, 1984)
From another perspective, Torrington (1989) describes that a major shift of direction in the
HRM development is moving away from the traditional of personnel management on conciliation,
propitiation, and need to motivate employees as a potentially uncooperative cost, to seeing
employees as a benefit. The new direction of HRM is that people need less goading and supervision,
but should be given more scope and autonomy; people should not be seen as a cost, but as an asset in
which to invest to add their inherent value. Torrington (1989) provides six main stages of evolution
from the nineteenth century to the present that track this development. The first stage was the social
reformer, next was the acolyte of benevolence, then the humane bureaucrat, followed by the
consensus negotiator, the organization man, and the manpower analyst.
1.2 From Personnel Management to HRM
Guest (1987) identifies six factors relating to the transition from personnel management to
HRM, (1) the search for competitive advantage through better utilization of HR, (2) models of
excellence, (3) the failure of personnel management in promoting the potential benefits of effective
management of people, (4) the decline in trade union pressure, (5) changes in the workforce and the
nature of work with better education and the demand of more flexible jobs, and (6) the availability of
new models. These six factors, individually or together, have motivated scholars and practitioners to
promote and adopt new and better models for managing people.
To demonstrate the key differences between personnel management and HRM, Guest (1987)
provides a comparison model that can be seen in table 2.

(Source: Guest, Human resource management and industrial relations, 1987, p. 507)
Contrasting the characteristics in this table shows that HRM provides clearer direction for
managing people. However, Guest (1987) warns this just a generalization: “Implicit in the
contrasting stereotype is an assumption that human resource management is “better”. However this
fails to take account of variations in context which might limit its effectiveness. For example in
public service bureaucracies conventional personnel management might more successfully contribute
to the achievement of organizational goals” (Guest, 1987, p. 508)
Although there is considerable evidence that HRM is distinctive from personnel management,
Guest (1987) identifies three different ways to operationalize this, (1) simply re-title personnel
management with HRM without changing the roles and contents, (2) use HRM to re-conceptualize
and re-organize the roles of personnel and describing the new role of the personnel department, and
finally (3) offering a new approach to manage people.
Legge(1995) suggests the transition from personnel to HRM falls into three criteria: (1) a shift of
focus from human resource processes and procedures to the development of HR and development
skills for managers and their teams. (2) HRM operates proactively with a focus on developing core
business, not merely supporting it, and (3) HRM will generate an emphasis on defining and shaping
organizational culture.
Moreover, Legge(1995) analyses the similarities and differences between personnel and
HRM. As a result, he identifies four fundamental similarities, which are, an emphasis on the
importance of integration, linking employee development with organizational goals and
achievements, ensuring the principle of the right people in the right job, and distributing people
management to line managers. In a study, he found three differences between personnel and HRM:
(1) the focus of activity: personnel management activities are performed on subordinates by
manager, while HRM pays more attention to the management of managers; (2) the role of line
managers: ones role is the implementation of personnel procedures whereas in HRM they are
responsible for devising and driving a business oriented HR strategy; (3) perception about
organizational culture: culture is a central element in HRM models but not in personnel management
models.
1.3 The Foundation of SHRM
SHRM is defined as the linking of HR functions with business (organizational) strategy in
order to improve business performance and develop an organizational culture that fosters innovation
5. International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 - 6510(Online),
Volume 4, Issue 5, September - October (2013)
24
and flexibility (Lengnick-Hall, Lengnick-Hall, Leticia , Andrade, & Drake, 2009; Truss & Gratton ,
1994; Tyson , 1997). More detail is provided in the following two definitions:
“Strategic human resource management is largely about integration and adaptation. Its
concern is to ensure that: (1) human resource management (HR) is fully integrated with the strategic
needs of the firm; (2) HR policies cohere both across policy areas and across hierarchies; (3) HR
practices are adjusted, accepted, and used by line managers and employees as part of their everyday
work” (Schuler, 1992).
“We can thus most usefully define an organization’s human resourcing strategy as the general
direction followed by an organization in how it secures, develop, retains and, from time to time,
dispenses with the human resources it requires to carry out work tasks in a way that ensure that it
continues successfully into the long term. And, thus ‘strategic human resourcing’ is to be understood
as the establishing of principles and the shaping of practices whereby the human resources which an
organization, seen as a corporate whole, requires to carry out work task that enable it to continue
successfully in the long term” (Leopold, Harris, & Watson, 2005).
According to Guest (1989), the key difference between HRM and strategic HRM is how
organizations integrate strategic decisions into the HRM policies and practices to cope with the
environment. In the strategic HRM perspective, employees are considered a strategic resource that
should be employed collectively with other resources (e.g. patents, reputation) to enhance
organizational success (Barney, 1991).
There is a general consensus that studies from Michigan Business School (Devanna,
Fombrun, & Tichy, 1984; Tichy, Fombrun, & Devanna, 1982) and Harvard Business School (Beer,
Spector, Lawrence, & Mills, 1984) were the pioneers of SHRM study. The Michigan model
emphasizes the necessity of a tight fit between business strategy, organizational structure and HRM,
and acknowledges these are also influenced by economic, political, and cultural forces. The model
underlines the deployment of HRM is to achieve business objectives. Accordingly, this model
recognizes that various styles in managing people depend on the organizational context and assumes
that everyone in the organization should have the same orientation with the purpose of achieving
organizational goals.
1.4 The Role of HRM in the Organization
Historically, HR functions were not recognized as strategic partners (Brockbank, 1999;
Lawler, 1995; Lawler & Mohrman, 2003), and the HR function identified as an administrative
function, with the primary roles of cost control and administrative activities (Lawler, Cohen, &
Chang, 1993; Ulrich, 1997a). Because of the rapid changes in the business environment,
globalization of the economy, intensive deployment of information technology, and increasing
complexity, modern organizations have been converging to support HR becoming a more strategic
partner (Brockbank, 1999; Lawler & Mohrman, 2003; Ulrich, 1997a). Accordingly, it is necessary
that the HRM department move beyond an operational focus into a strategic role (Schuler, 1994).
Many studies across various countries indicate that HRM’s status has increased in the company
hierarchy and thus plays a more strategic role (Camuffo & Rosta, 1993; Gunnigle & Moore, 1994;
Jaap, 1996; Saborido, Rendon, & Castro, 1992; Siranni, 1992; Teagarden, Buttler, & Von Glinow,
1992)
Early studies investigating the role of HRM can be categorized into two streams, either
reactive or proactive (Golden & Ramanjuam, 1985). The Reactive group (Ferris, Schellenberg, &
Zammutto, 1984; Smith, 1982a; Walker, 1980; 1981) emphasizes organizational strategy is the
driving force to determine HR strategies and policies. Hence, this group believes that the focal role
of a HR department is to ensure that HR strategies and activities align with organizational objectives.
The second stream, the proactive group (Alpander & Botter, 1981; Dyer, 1984; 1983; 1984b; Dyer &
6. International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 - 6510(Online),
Volume 4, Issue 5, September - October (2013)
25
Heyer, 1984)Tichy, (1982) recommends that HR be involved in the strategic formulation process.
This means HR departments should be active players in strategy formulation.
Within these streams, Golden and Ramanujam (1985) promoted four distinctive roles for
HRM in organizations: the administrative linkage, a one-way linkage, a two-way linkage, and an
integrative linkage. In the administrative linkage HR deals with day-today or routine administrative
roles such as payroll, absenteeism, etc. In a one-way linkage HR translates organizational strategies
into HR strategies and policies, and the strategic formulation processes exists without HRM input. In
the two-way linkage HR plays a dual function in formulating and implementing organizational
strategies, although it is not involved in strategic decision making. With the integrative linkage, HR
participates throughout the strategic formulation and decision process and also plays an integral role
in developing and implementing the firm’s competitive strategy. In this role, HRM is a vital part of
senior management and an effort is made to integrate employee needs and business objectives to
meet long-term organizational goals.
2 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD
2.1 Need for the Study
It’s no secret that business success today revolves largely around people, not capital. This is
of great significance especially in ‘people businesses’ like software companies with relatively high
people costs and low capital costs. According to Barber &Strack, (2005) people businesses are those
companies with relatively high employee costs, a high ratio of employee costs to capital costs, and
limited spending on activities, such as R&D aimed at generating future revenue. The question of
where and how value is being created or squandered could be identified in people-intensive
businesses by looking into metrics of productivity of people rather than of capital.
The critical resources are employees a software company hires, motivates and retains. While
occasionally, the value employees create in some software companies does take the form of
intangible assets like intellectual property, brands, and the like, most employees in people businesses
like IT services and products concentrate more on creating short-term value directly for customers,
month for month and year for year, without the intermediary step of creating an intangible asset.
2.2 Objectives of the study
1. To study Human Resource Practices in CMM Level 5 certified Indian IT Companies.
2. To compare selected HR practices of selected IT Companies with the help of Cross-Case

2.4 Cross- Case Analysis
As this study is conducted on CMM Level 5 certified Companies and is multi–company
research work, the ‘Cross-case Analysis’ method is found more suitable to find the facts (Four CMM
Level 5 Companies are taken for the study). In the first stage cases are developed, with the help of
the data from interview and secondary data schedule of various companies. Later the cases are
analyzed through ‘Cross – Case Analysis’ by developing Cross Case Matrices. Finally the employee
opinions are taken to arrive at conclusions and suggestions.
2.5 Sources of Data
The study is mainly based on primary data. The secondary data is used to supplement the
primary data. The main source of primary data is collected through Interviewing HR personnel with
the help of interview schedules and Collection of data from employees through opinions schedules.
The Secondary data is collected through three approaches; A separate secondary data is administered
to gather company related data from all four companies, referred journals, magazines, newspapers
and text books and Internet is also used to collect secondary data from various websites.
