Choice of HR Model PDF

The document compares four HR models - the Harvard Model, Michigan Model, Six Components Model, and Sustainable HR Model - to identify the most suitable model for Zappos. The Michigan Model, which has mission and strategy driving organizational structure and HR, is currently closest to Zappos' approach. However, the Six Components Model, which considers internal context highly relevant, may also be a good fit as it influences but does not drive HR based on external factors like the other models. The Sustainable HR Model could work for Zappos in the future if they expand globally due to its holistic consideration of external, sustainability, and organizational contexts.
