Human resource is all about managing people - shortlisting, interviewing, examining, selecting, recruiting, training, developing potential, cost of human capital, etc.
Whereas, Retail management is everything about the front-end of Supply Chain Management i.e managing customers, sales, product, brand, vendors, inventory, etc.
HR applies to all fields as managing poeple is the basis of managing any organization & while, RM is focussed upon profit generation through front-end sales that also involves human resource management.
So, they are related after all in a very indirect/subtle manner.

If your question was related about career choices, then let me tell you that both the fields are upcoming ones - HR is gaining global importance due to issues like competency, attrition, etc. & RM is booming at large in the developing countries at a very fast pace. It's your aptitude that can help you in making the right choice. If you like dealing with people & know more abut their qualities/attributes to help realize their potential HR is the right choice. But, if you have an aptitude for customer service, sales & the like you must take-up RM. Hope that this solves your query.

Yes and no.

The term human resources is used tocover that part of a company which covers the hiring and maintanace of the HUMAN resource - it's employees. They cover everything from salaries to insurance to hiring and firing, severance packages and all that goes along with dealing wiht PEOPLE.

Being a retail manager you will do a lot of the hiring and firing, and general work with thepeople, but depending on the company there may be a HR person ABOVE you to do a lot of the rest.

Something interesting about the atom: don't know whether you've stumbled across the measurement problem in Quantum Physics, but it's rather fascinating. You see an atom is pervasive; it is everywhere and everything, spread out all over the place *until* a conscious observer makes the decision to measure it. If only conscious beings can be observers, then we're intimately hooked into the very existence of reality; thus without our existence, there would just be an ever expanding super position of possibilities with nothing definite ever happening. I don't know how it would work with a metaphysical entity; however, I think the idea that God (You've used a capital 'G' so I assume you are talking about the Christian God) cannot see us kind of conflicts with the traditional view that God governs your life and supposedly "guides" you, thus if you commit a sin he is always there for forgiveness; if you don't know what to do, he is there to pray to. Atleast, I think that's the idea.

Well, it can be. Human Resources has to dow tih the management of people in a business. Whether that business is retail, or food service, or manufacturing, or petroelum products, doesn't really make a difference. There are HR managers who work in retail environments.

Human Resources is common to all companies, not just retail. HR involves the hiring of all employees, salary determination, benefits administration among other things.
