INTRODUCTION
Human resource management is an overall purpose for ensuring to achieve the success
and growth of the organization. It is an strategic approach for an effective management of
organization and individual for helping the business for gaining the sustainable competitive
advantages. This report will examine the research based view adopted by the human resource
management and human resource management theories for building the long term relationship
with buyer and suppliers. This Analyzing the two major threats which faced by organization
operating with labor market(Bratton and Gold, 2017).
Based on Research view adapted by Human resource management
Research based view is a term which generally refers to the framework of managerial
which has been used to determine all strategic resources on delivering and gaining the potential
and competitive advantages of the Sainsbury. This type of resources can be exploited by
Sainsbury in order to achieving and gaining the competitive advantages. Sustained competitive
advantages is comes from the research based view which is adopted by Sainsbury(Bratton and
Gold, 2017). The focus of the research based view is the attention of the managerial on the
Sainsbury internal resources in order to find out the efforts of those assets, competencies and
capabilities with much potential for delivering the superior competitive advantages. Research
based view is one of the most important strategic approach of the Sainsbury and this concept is
based on the Sainsbury of various resources such as;
Tangible resource:- Tangible resources is always represented an opportunity for earning an
economic befits and profits for the production and manufacturing of goods and services and the
provision of the services are rental of the assets or others. It involves equipment, land, vehicle
and it can be described as the physical makeup of the Sainsbury. Tangible assets are current and
fixed.
Resources of Intangible:- intangible assets are added to the future worth of the Sainsbury.
Intangible resources do not exist in the physical form of the Sainsbury and it also involves things
like per-paid expenses, accounts variable and goodwill and patents.
Both resources are not equal. It means both the tangible and intangible resources are
equal and valuable and rare which can create a competitive advantage which is always
sustainable for the Sainsbury. For example; Honda, the core competencies in their engines and
also the power trains which has been given for the long standing for the competitive advantages
1

in motorcycle, lawn mower and car and also the generator of the business(Brewster, Chung and
Sparrow, 2016. ). This is only for the reflected of the long standing commitment to the formula
one, and it is good example of how core competences which can be re-enforced further and how
the business is perceived.
There are some research approaches to the strategic analysis:-
Strategy:- It means a make an action for designed for achieving the long term and overall
goals and objectives. It is one of the high level of the plan for achieving and gaining the one or
more goals and objectives of the Sainsbury for the long term benefits. It is one of the most
important part of the view of research which is adopted and achieve by human resource and
management where all the resources are available for achieving the goals of the organization. It
generally and basically involves the determining the actions of goals, setting of goals and
mobilizing the resources for executing the plans and actions.
Business capabilities:- it is one of the functions and actions which shows the capabilities
of the Sainsbury and the ability for managing the resources such as employees and effectively for
gaining the advantages over the competitors. The capabilities of the organization for improving
the business and also differentiate the market of the business.

Resources:- it is economic and productive factor which is basically required for
accomplishing the activities and it also established and developed across the so many areas of the
work and economic, it also define for undertaking the outcomes of Sainsbury.
Core competencies:- Core competencies term refers to harmonized the combinations of
skills and multiple resources for distinguish the firm in the marketplace and it is the foundation
of the competitiveness of the Sainsbury. Core competencies is defines the specialized
knowledge, skills and techniques.
View of research which has area of principles and relevant applications services ad operate the
designs of the operations which has covered the methods;
Sourcing decisions:- It is not possible for the Sainsbury for managing the sourcing
strategy and intelligence alliance, sourcing decision is supply of the chain. It is one of the most
important decision of the Sainsbury where it refers to choosing the right sources for the
manufacture of the products and services. There are so many frameworks of theoretical which
help in making the sourcing of decision(Cascio, 2015.).
There are some theoretical frameworks which is as shown;
Transnational-theory of cost:- it generally comes from the branch of the economics for the
transaction-cost economy. There are basic alternatives sourcing of inputs;
 Vertical integration:- it means for delivering the required inputs for Sainsbury and it is a
combination of one or more companies and more stages of production which normally
operated by the separate company.
 Aim's length relationship:- in this Sainsbury bough the inputs from the outside of the
company and it uses one then more supplier with all the best prices.
 Partnership or alliances:- it means Sainsbury buying inputs from the outside of the
company but it also builds for the long term period cooperative relationships with the
suppliers.
Specialization:- it is one and only extreme concept for the application which is research based on
the view of Sainsbury. It means the principles of the works and productivity grows withing the
labor division. It is term which refers to the industrial revolution. While, applying the
transaction-cost theory it can also said that specialization raising the communication cost and
also the coordination of the activities. Specialization also cause the service for become the
3

fragmented with the cost of the services which being delivered and also the negative impact of
the quality.
Optimizing the sourcing strategy:- the sourcing strategy going certainly to be mix for all of
alternatives options of the sourcings. It is also viewed that the remembered increasingly the
potential competitive advantages and also the entire Sainsbury for being forged on the creation of
the unique partnership between so many mutual supporting network for the suppliers and
customers(Endsley, 2018).
Enterprise Architecture:- the core competencies of the corporation is competing for the future. It
has been argued that the Sainsbury should develop a wide range of the strategic architecture and
it also identifies the core competencies for building the constitution of the technologies and so
many other resources. It also concerned about the settings of the Sainsbury and designs which
generally operate with the environment of the nature.
Theory of Human resource management.
HRM theory is one of the strategic approach for an effective management of an
individual in the organization that help the Sainsbury for amplification the competitive point.
Sainsbury know as the department of the HR for designing the activities maximize employees
performance in the service of the employees strategic objectives. Many of the theories has been
introduced as the discipline of the management and some are developing within the discipline of
the organization. It is preliminary concerns with the individuals of the management within the
Sainsbury. It focuses on the system and theory of the Sainsbury. There are some theories and
models which has been defined below;
Analytical framework of Harvard:- it is basically known as the gender role of
frameworks where all the earliest framework understanding the differences between women and
men with their participation in the economy. From the analysis of the gender on the basis of the
framework it has great importance for helping the policies which makes to understanding the
case of the economic for allocating of the development resources for both men and women as
well in the Sainsbury. It also comes up with the HRM policies, HRM choices and for the long
term outcomes of the HR. it is one of the top level responsibilities for providing the best facilities
to both. The elements in the Harvard Analytical Framework theories like stakeholders interest,
external and internal environment and policy choices and strategies and vision of the Sainsbury.
It also helps the Sainsbury for developing the strategies, practices and theories of the
4

organization. It also collects information and data from the households and community. It also
finds out the benefits which realize from the each of the activities and it also controls and access
over the benefits(Noble, 2017).
Matching model:- it is one of the ways for achieving the goals and objectives of the
organization. From uses of the appropriate techniques it also evaluated for the contribution of
properly working of the selected human resource management. It has been applied in Sainsbury
for the achieved the objectives and goals according to the major roles and functions such as
appraisals, rewards, selection, performance and also development. It also evaluates the
techniques for the proper contribution on the basis of selecting an appropriate technique.
The universalistic theory:- it is one of the theory which is recounted according to the high
performance practices of the work and best practices of the Sainsbury which underlying the
arguments and assumption. When the practices are the best then it is universal applicable and
successful for the Sainsbury. The success of the Sainsbury has been measured by the financial
indicators of the performances such as profits sales levels and market share.
`Contingency theory:- it is an organizational theory of the Sainsbury which claims that
there is no another and best for organizing the corporation for leading the Sainsbury and also
making the decisions. The main optimal course of the actions is contingent upon the external and
internal situations. The theory of the contingency is basically influence by the earlier research
programs which only pinpoint the effective behavior of the leaders. There are some relevant
independent and dependent variables that influence the capital intensity of the industry sector
and size age. It is essential for the achieving and gaining the needs and wants of best “fit”
between the Sainsbury scope, structure, size and its employees and the environments of external
for observing and analyzing the structure and performance which is implemented all the HR
practices(Noe,Hollenbeck, Gerhart and Wright, 2017.).
Research based theory:- the research based theory is genrally draws an attention to the
values of all the strategic HRM of workforce and the problems of learning at workplace.
Resource based theory is based on the specific the human talent which has been developing and
utilizing the personnel objectives and organizational at very success level.
Ethical approach:- it implies for concerning the Sainsbury ethics and also for the
individuals. The Ethical approach is shared for the ethics of the work for the personnel serving in
the Sainsbury. Human resources has acquainted with the certain qualities of staff & norms go
5

through the induction, orientation and CPD programs. Both organizational qualities and staff and
all the norms are anticipated.
Stakeholder approach:- it is only required when the Sainsbury is a community of the
interest, and it should be identify and respected for the all. In this stakeholder approach, all the
stakeholders of the Sainsbury has been analyzed. Stakeholders are the people ad Sainsbury
posses a legitimate interest and also the obligation for performing the various functions and
activities of the Sainsbury which may be customers, authorities, shareholders etc. for whispering
the outside contributor such as suppliers and donors.
Analysing two big and major threats faced by organization operating with labour market.
The positions which deteriorating labor market of the low-level and skilled workers and
employees which facing state of affairs and problems by the efficiency of the economic and all
the equity of social factors. The problems issue and conflicts faced by the Sainsbury in the term
of the economy and it also widely uses towards the coming with and turning with the variety of
the applications and it also defers so much ways such as improv the conditions of employment
and the learning class for wages earning and salary with all the problem of the labor market of
UK which involve the demand of labor, labors supply by the household of Sainsbury. There are
basically 2 major threats which has been faced by the Sainsbury for operative the labor industry;
As per the opinion Volkova and et.al., 2016, Automation is not so much essential for the
Sainsbury because when the use of the technology is raise then it reduces the work of the
employees and workers and employees facing problems and issues working in Sainsbury which
decreases the rate of the employees and workers and bringing up the poorness in the country. It
also decreases the employment and charge of the employees in various organizations.
Automation; term refers to the new technology which has been procedures and process for
performing with the minimal assistance of the humans. Automatic control and automation is used
for the various controlling systems. It is also highlighted in the recent stories of the labor market
by increasing and decreasing the rate of technology. Job creation which is related to the
manufacturing and production and services of the technologies and automation tools. It also
increases the automation with the traditional employees of “blue collars” economic sectors and
factors which increases within the “white collar” of the Sainsbury. It automatically controls the
use of various systems for operating the equipment and technologies like switching on the
telephones, boilers, process in factories and heat the oven and also steering it. It also cover the
6

range of the application in Sainsbury, to the astronomic extent and also the controlling method
and sometimes it tens with thousands of all the inputs for the measuring and it controlling the
signals of output. It also persists so many challenges which come with the adoption of the new
technologies which has been faced by the labor market.
Automation is basically a type that has gain different which way involves the mechanical,
liquid, electrical devices & computers, tablets etc. its way of manufacturing of the automation for
example, Automation refer to the transferring and machining the shape that has been find the
machinery of automatic assembly, industry of automative and also particular material process.
From the high technology of the programmable it is a way of forming the services and products.
in Sainsbury. The main goal and objective of the high technology of Sainsbury is become one of
the main leading amd conrolling method of the western side of Canada integrator the substitution
for the condition in the applications of the Sainsbury by extraordinary way of expectations of the
customers and clients in the terms of the flexibility, loyalty and honesty etc. from giving the
leverage of the capabilities of the Sainsbury Groups for the multiple faced of the supplying of
the chain and involving the partners. It always continues attempt for recognising the synergy that
underwrites an effective cost & deliver of the models. High technology of automation believes
and trust on the scheme which create the consumers of Sainsbury.
For example; Sainsbury currently facing economic uncertainty from last eight months. From the
uncertainty in the market which can directly affect the profits and revenues of the Sainsbury and
it also controls the production and manufacturing process of the Sainsbury.
According to the Ployhart and Kautz, 2017 the main advantages of the Sainsbury is it is
much useful & helpful for group and uindividual that are injured and can not do their own work.
All the take care facility it always given to the employees that are working with them.
Regulative focus & raising cost is one of the main issues and challenges which has faced by the
Sainsbury in the UK labor market whic directly and indirectly impact the reward and wage of the
employees. It also has been foreseen that there are some firms that provide this types of facilities.
As per the HMRC it is importantly raised the minimal consequence of national and living of
national wages which compliance the check.
For instance; NHS aslo facing the work problem of “sleep I person” rear up to the 6 years which
has been made by the government of the UK. It is typically does not activated as the working
hours of minimum wages and also extant wages purpose and it should be. It is also foreseen as so
7

many troubled to honor such cost which could be cost for the Nathional Health Services up to
400 million and these of the additional cost which mostly known at the case and it could have
been the cost and value in it.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to Sainsbury to use innovative technologies and adapt changes & up
gradation done in various software's which facilitates smooth functioning of its business. Further,
company should use various sites of the social media to encourage its goods & services special
products which are automates as social media sites are widely used by young generation and they
are most active on these online applications. It is also recommended to firm to make innovation
in automation products as technology is changing thus, update is required and it also helps firm
in enhancing market share of company. Sainsbury should also has to manufacture & offer
products & services which are Eco-friendly as it attracts customers. It is also advised to company
to facilitate an effective work environment to its employees and make policies which protects
interest of its workers so productivity of company gets maximised(Cascio, 2015).

approach for the effective management of the individuals and organizations so it helps the firm
for gaining the best competitive advantages and it is designed for the maximizing the individual's
performance in the service of the employer's strategic objectives. This report will conclude that
the research based view is adopted by the human resource's management and theories for
delivering the and gaining the potential advantages. Furthermore, it will conclude that the
research based is a concept for recognizing startegic capabilities of the company.
