Abstract

This paper analyses the fit between business strategy and human resources strategy, and its implications and effect on performance. A sample of 121 Andalusian co-operatives (small and medium sized firms) is used to evaluate the hypothesis through a questionnaire. Our findings reveal some support for the fit hypothesis, though with some qualifications which are also discussed.
