This course examines contemporary issues in human resource management (HRM). We look at applying HRM-related theory, processes, and interventions, as ways in which HRM can exert a positive influence on how organisations function. We use readings, case studies, and engagement with practitioners to provide a highly interactive learning experience.
The objectives of the course are:1. Students will have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of factors contributing to a well-functioning organisation.2. Students will learn to critically analyse different measurement approaches in organisations and understand when and how to apply such measures.3. Students will be able to synthesise academic literature and make practical recommendations based on such literature.4. Students will be able to communicate this information effectively
