France, Sweden, Germany, Canada and UK. The research question of the mentioned article
is – the practices of the public hospitals as well as the management system focusing on the
health care sector. In this connection, the report demonstrates the evolution of the HRM in

of Australia who proposes policy-making strategies under the laws and norms of the
Australian legacy. The same will help the HRM in increasing their management quality in the
health care sector and attain the highest quality and premium hospitality sector. The authors
of the article propose that this will help the HRM of the hospitals gain a higher competitive
advantage in the market.
Based on the understanding of the article it may be concluded that the authors
successfully demonstrated the development of HRM in the sector of healthcare and also
demonstrated the areas where it has scope to develop in the future. However, the only
limitation to the article was that it was reviewed only upon the public sector hospitals, the
sample of dimensions could have been diversified.
The contribution of the mentioned article to the further studies would make a clear
understanding about the challenges the HRM has to face in the context of developing the
management system of the healthcare sector and the evolution of the same.
