Consider the following five questions:
1. Provide an outline of a strategy map for Patagonia.
2. Identify and discuss at least four relevant HRM policies/activities that Patagonia has instituted in order to help HRM contribute to achieving Patagonia's strategic goals and develop and retain a committed talent pool. (Note: Covering more than the required minimum of four HRM policies/activities may lead to bonus points if all is developed and justified well).
3. What type of HRM system has Patagonia installed? Explain.
4. Watch the webinar by Dave Ulrich (first 45 minutes). Provide a two-page reflection on what you think is brought forward as a message in this webinar.
5. Use the aforementioned webinar to comment (positively and/or negatively) on Patagonia's HRM approach.
