Much research has been conducted on the strategic function of human resources planning.  For example, consider the restructuring of a large organization to meet proposed changes in the strategic plan.  Some companies change their overall strategy more regularly (every 2-5 years) and some wait much longer.  The point is that when a company changes its strategy, human resources needs change as well.
