Abstract
This research paper explores the impact that HRM, as a source of competitive advantage (CA), can have on an organisation. Moreover, this research endeavours to determine if organisations can utilise their Human Resource (HR) functions as sources of sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in this current economic climate. The potential significance of this for organisations, if they were to create or use their HR Department and turn it into a source of CA, is that their competitors and rivals would be unable to replicate what they had achieved. Each person in any organisation is the human factor. Their past experiences, their skills and knowledge make them unique. This research was developed on this thinking and progressed into employing the HR function as a source of CA given that, in a recessionary period, a company needs all the advantages it can have, particularly internal ones, so as to have an edge over competitors in their industry.
