In the modern, fast-paced economy, competition is inevitable for commercial organizations that focus on providing services and products in highly dynamic and uncertain contexts. There has been a significant amount of emphasis on how to provide the best service and the best product possible and how to do so by utilizing Human Resources (HR). This research highlights the competitive strategy concepts and models, competitive advantages from Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), and the relationship between them that have a major impact on the performance of the business as a whole.

In the discipline of HR strategic management, comprehending how HRIS is connected to competitive strategies has emerged as a key research topic. This study's main objective is to establish a connection between competitive strategies and HRIS, as well as the applicability of such a relationship to organizational setting. The study takes into consideration an extensive investigation of the HRIS implementation in contemporary technological-based firms, which employ competitive strategies for operating their business effectively and for accomplishing goal. These strategies significantly affect how HRIS is implemented and how smoothly it operates, and HRIS itself helps to maximize the advantages of these tactics. These systems are never useful for exploiting competitive advantage, except from knowledgeable individuals like analysts.

People will perform better and will help achieve both short-term and long-term goals if they are effectively managed and organized. On the other side, bad performance will occur if they are not adequately controlled. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the HRIS used by organizations in Bangladesh that fall under the HR or People and Organization (P&O) division.

We are aware that good management of an organization's HR is crucial to achieving efficiency and effectiveness in day-to-day operations. This study provides the knowledge required to comprehend the HRIS, which is essential for gaining a competitive edge. In order to achieve a long-term competitive advantage, this research starts by identifying some of the data that will be essential for the final implementation of an HRIS. The results of this study point to a lower-to-medium degree positive correlation between HRIS payoff and organizational competitive strategies, but they also came to the conclusion that this correlation has little impact on business performance in Bangladesh.
