Conclusion:
We have compared two companies with all aspects of HRM. After comparison, we realized that
there are certain differences and similarities between both companies in correspondence with

 Employee Requirement where Alkaram takes a lead I terms of time and cost
management.
 Whereas in employee selection both companies produce good results utilizing different
pathways
 Whereas both companies follow the same trend in incentives, Alkaram takes a lead due
to more innovative ideas
 Both companies appoint a same appraisal strategy with minor differences producing
exceptional results
 Employee duties are defined by both companies, even though YY Technologies does it to
a greater extent
 Alkaram lacks commitment when it comes to leaves.
Both companies fulfill all HRM effectively.
Each company is leading the other in certain areas, a good approach would be to learn and
develop a company’s weaknesses for better result.
Cooperation and research may lead to both companies producing much greater results and is
perhaps a fruitful approach.
