Financial actors have increasingly influenced business strategy, and in turn, the organisation of work and human resource management. By sharpening a focus on short-term shareholder returns, they encourage the outsourcing of work, substitution of technology for labour, and minimisation of long-term employment relations. This approach undermines organisational capabilities and investments in human capital designed to produce innovation, sustainable advantage, and employment stability. This paper explores a range of alternatives designed to rebuild patient capital and create a longer term strategy for organisational innovation and competitiveness – one that can balance the needs of many stakeholders while building sustainable economies.
