studied areas of personnel policy – recruitment, further training, health and integration
management, and employee exit –, the result of which is presented in Figure 14. The figure
will serve as basis for testing hypothesis 5. Afterwards, I will discuss the differences and
similarities of German and Polish firms in the transportation equipment industry and in the
food manufacturing industry. This chapter will end with an assessment whether a country
pattern is emerging, which will falsify or confirm hypothesis 6 for the time being, and a
final analysis of hypothesis 7.
Figure 14 depicts the position of the studied German and Polish firms with regard to the
dimensions ´stage of development of HRM strategy´ and ´direction of personnel policy
towards older workers´ (see Annex C for detailed description of how the values were
computed).
