Usage notes
Modern HRM theory took shape in 1984 with two rival frameworks: the "Harvard model," which stressed stakeholder interests, and the "Michigan model," which tied HR practices tightly to business strategy. Many universities still offer degrees under the HRM label, and the abbreviation also appears in course codes.
