The Harvard model of strategic human resource management was developed in 1984 by Michael Beer and other experts at Harvard University. It aims to help organizations develop the best fit between themselves and their environments by systematically assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. While it can be applied at all levels of a strategic business unit, the Harvard model does not provide specific advice on developing strategies beyond noting the importance of effective strategies informed by SWOT analysis.
