According to us, we don’t see any disadvantage where a capable person without having formal HR qualification is transferred to the Human Resources Department.
Here we find that there is no such aim to bring some changes in the HR department; it is just a simple transfer of one position to another position.
Transferred

The second Chief Personnel Manager, Mr. Balram was earlier working as Training Manager in a Multinational Company for the last 5 years. He also has no formal experience and qualifications in the HR management. I don’t think his appointment as chief HR manager was also on any merit or to infuse any efficiency in the HR function.
Mr. Balram

Q3. Would you justify Mr. Vikas’s argumentative tendency with the Chief Personnel managers? Give reasons for your answer.
Yes, we agree with Mr. Vikas’s argumentative tendency with the Chief Personnel Managers with regard to the role of Human Resources department and Industrial relations in the company strategic management.
We also agree to his point that the Human Resource Management should be linked with the Company’s strategic goals and objectives.
It because HR is also as important as finance and marketing function. It helps the organization to achieve strategic goals and objectives. But one thing which we do not agree is that only a person having HR
qualification cannot manage HR department effectively.
