To understand the difference between HR Management and Personnel management, you need to look at its focus, its strategies, and the people who comprise it. "Personnel" refers to the 'old days' where HR primarily focused on administration, transactions and employee advocacy. This concept of "personnel management" is much less applicable in a world where mergers, globalization and new technologies are fundamentally changing the way business is done. Companies require true 'out of the box' strategies and tools to achieve success and change. "HR Management" reflects this new role of business partner in which the field influences, effects and responds to change.

There are various definitions of HRM given by the HR experts are presented here:-

Human Resource (HR) management is designing management system to ensure that human talent is used effectively and efficiently to accomplish organizational goals.

Human Resource Management, 12th Edition (By Robert L. Mathis. John H. Jackson)

HRM is "planning, organizing, directing, controlling of procurement, development, compensation, integration , maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are achieved."

(Edwin Flippo)

Human resource management is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic deployment of a highly committed and capable workforce, using an integrated array of Cultural, structural and personal techniques.

(John Storey, 1995)

A series of activities which: first enable working people and their employing organizations to agree about the objectives and nature of their working relationship and secondly, ensure that the agreement is fulfilled. (They named it as Personnel Management)

(Torrington and Hall)

Thee are two types of driving forces (environments) that affect the way an organization operates in either a positive or negative way. Internal driving forces and external driving forces. Internal driving forces are those types of things, events, situations, that occur within an organization and effect it in either a positive or negative way. Typically, the internal forces are things that occur within the organization and are by-and-large under the control of the organization. Example, does the organization have up to date technology that has the capacity to hold power programs that can help the organization. Or, are they working with an old antiquated legacy system that is slow, crashes frequently, etc. This effects the organizations day-to-day operations. It's something that in internal and under the control of the organization. Even the culture of the organization effects the way it operates. In other words, are the employees happy, do they come into work energized, or do they come to work dragging themselves in because it's Monday and doing cartwheels out the door because it's Friday. This effects the way the organization operates in either a positive or negative way. Once again it is an internal event and under the control of the organization.

External driving forces (environment) are those things, situations, events, that occur outside of the organization and effect it in either a positive or negative way. Example, the overall economy. This occurs outside the organization and by-and-large out of the control of the organization. In other words, are people spending money, or stashing it away because of financial concerns. This effects the organization. Another example could be changing demographics. Another, even weather. Weather can effect organizations such as farmers, ski resorts, catastrophes such as flooding, earthquakes etc. can effect all organizations. This occurs outside of the organization, and beyond the control of the organization. Still, it could effect it in either a negative or positive way. Another important external driving force would be competition. What is the competition doing, to gain more of the market share. It's occurring outside of the organization, out f the control of the organization, can effect it in either a positive or negative way. This is why informational resources are critical to the success, stability, and survivability of organizations. Thus, the importance of internal and external environments of any organization and how they are handled determines the organizations stability and very survivability.
