Syllabus

Managing Human Resource encourages students to critically examine the relationship between corporate strategy and the core HRM activities such as recruitment, selection, appraisal, pay systems, training and development, and career and succession management. Students will also identify linkages between HRM functions and the external economic and social context and identify options for organising HRM functions and operations (for example internal/outsourced; local/international/global). In addition, students will use theoretical HRM models to analyse case studies.

1. been introduced to all the key areas of Human Resource Management and will be able to make links between the different areas in order to develop a coherent, strategically advantageous set of HR plans and policies;
