Abstract Presented here is an in‐depth look at human resources scalability—an organization's capacity to get the right numbers of the right types of people to the right places at the right times. The authors pose Guiding Principles to Promote Freedom and Flexibility and Guiding Principles to Promote Discipline and Order, and discuss how HR and other business functions can work together to build a far more flexible and effective workplace. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
