Over the years, there has been considerable interest in the foundational areas of human resource development (HRD). Swanson (1995, 1999) has argued for a restricted number of foundational areas (economics, psychology, systems), whereas McLean (1998, 1999) has argued for a greatly extended set of foundational areas, including anthropology. Yet, searches of databases for “anthropology” and “HRD,” combined, yielded only two articles, neither of which was of much use in writing this chapter. All other results of the searches, including my articles, simply listed anthropology as one of many possible additional foundation areas to those offered by Swanson.
