Achim Krausert is Associate Professor in Human Resource Management at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick . His research integrates strategic HRM with capital-market perspectives, exploring how workforce data influence investors and how the timing of HR practices shapes organisational outcomes. Education PhD – University of Mannheim MSc Decision Sciences – London School of Economics BSc Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management – London School of Economics Research Interests Professor Krausert’s work centres on strategic human resource management viewed through temporal and financial lenses. He investigates: • how HR practices differ across employee groups (professionals, managers, knowledge workers); • the lag effects and time compression diseconomies that determine when HR investments pay off; and • how capital-market actors—especially securities analysts and investors—interpret and react to signals about workforce quality and HR systems. Comparative perspectives are prominent: he analyses varieties of capitalism and cross-national differences in employment relations to understand why identical HR practices yield divergent outcomes. Publications Overview Across more than a decade of scholarship, Krausert has published in leading journals such as Human Resource Management and Human Resource Management Review . His 2014–2019 output is dominated by studies that link HR decisions to capital-market reactions, leveraging both archival investor data and conceptual modelling. Earlier work (2009–2015) concentrated on performance-management architectures tailored to distinct employee groups and the learning-curve dynamics of training effectiveness.
