This research is an applied research based on the purpose and the research time horizon is cross sectional. In this research, 15 experts are identified using snowball method. The necessary data are gathered based on 3 questionnaires including Delphi questionnaire, human resources (HR) and business strategic questionnaire. The results show that some couples of HR strategies were aligned with business strategies. Then “if-then” rules are described in FuzzyTech software and the study determines which business strategies must be aligned with human resources strategies using the analysis. The paper ends by providing some suggestions based on 16 possible scenarios. © 2018 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada
