Human resource case analysis

Booz Allen as an organization has many a highly skilled human resource as required by the resources of the organization. The CEO (Horacio D. Rozanski) appointed in 2005 has proved that the organization is an as successful as it is due to the value their human resource bring to the organization. For a millennium the company has been leading in their industry by hiring creative and innovative. Among the defining characteristics of the human resource at Booz Allen Hamilton are integrity and excellence. This is the foundation that has built the bacon of innovation in technology that the company has been for the last one millennium. The competitive advantage associated with the company is the need to transform the industry and break new grounds by creating working teams that are projected towards challenging themselves.;

This character of commitment to excellence has resulted in the company making changes in the industry for other players to catch up with. Besides revolutionizing the industry, the organization is of positive impact to the community, inducing people with positive morals in the community (“Technologies and Capabilities | Booz Allen Hamilton”, 2017).

Leading to the company being a service provider to the government, which has resulted in alliances and networks that set the company aside from the rest of their competitors. Consequently, the organizations out laddish development towards the development of new and restructuring the needs of government agencies in attrition to other clients. The organization has also built a good reputation in the way they treat their employees this has led to the pooling up of prospective employees, as a result of obligation to uphold values such as fairness to clients, senior staff, and clients without overlooking the handsome perks that come with being an employee at the institution.;

Resource-based theory coined by Wernerfelt (1984) that gave a resource based approach to corporate strategy and analysis. Which resulted in the development of the governmental analysis of an organization. The people it involves identification in organization’s resources, identifying the possibilities that are presented by the resources that are the disposed of the organization and their potential for a sustainable development of the competitive advantage. This translates to revenues, formulating a strategy which exploits the firm’s resources and relativity to opportunities that are available externally, and finally identifying the resource gaps in the organization, replenishing the augmenting and upgrading the firm’s resources. The people are in a position to make the changes.

Using this theory as a bench marching platform for Booz Allen and Hamilton, the company does check the strategizing standards and policy laid out by Wernerfelt. In human resource, the company has had numerous achievements in innovation, which has crowned them as the business leaders.  The organization has a large pool of skilled labor who share a vision of the organization and live up to the organizational values. Christine Roc (2015) registered went on record to denote the organizational employees to the organizations’ code of ethics. This has to lead the organization to make the anticipated changes. The organization has lived up to the standards of the organization to make the company a reputation of their relations with clients who already have accounts and attracting new agencies to open accounts with the firm. The company has thus met the thresh hold of the resource based theory. Albeit the exploitation of the firm’s competitive advantage, the company has resource gaps in the marketing and reach of key markets in other countries since they only have two main employees.
