Human Resource Management
Course Objectives
This course is for those who want to learn the basic concepts and frameworks of human resource management, and also improve their ability to effectively execute human resource related strategies.
In this course, human resource management is thought of as a “mechanism” to motivate members of an organization towards its goals and effective execution of its strategies. This course will establish an understanding of the role human resource management plays in business administration and improve your ability to think about how human resource management should be used as a strategy execution tool. More specifically, you will analyze elements such as the environment surrounding each company and their vision, values and strategies. Then, you will discuss how these elements relate to the various parts of human resource management, such as HR policy, organizational structure, personnel systems (recruitment, placement, evaluation, compensation and training) and organizational culture. You will also look at numerous problems of human resource management and their causes, and what action plans should be implemented in order to solve these problems.
You will examine and discuss openly on different companies through the case method. In the first four classes, you will learn about each element of human resource management. In the fifth class, you will learn about organizational transformation. Lastly, in the sixth class, you will consider human resource management and the entirety of its role in business.
