1960s, with the published works of Chandler and Ansoff, strategic research started; 1980s, study about Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) is of the rise of the best human resource perspective, contingent perspective and configuration perspective. There are two views about the relationship between Strategic Human Resources and business strategy: the contingency scholars think, human resources strategy is determined by the organizational strategy, organizational strategy and human resource strategy is a one-way relation; and Resource-based view that organizational strategy and human resources strategy is a two-way influence relationship. Based on the contingency scholars, this paper explores the path that the strategic human resources support business strategy, not only to focus on internal and external matching, but also pay attention to the specific content of match.
