Human Resource Management

The competitive forces that managers face today and will continue to confront in the future demand organizational knowledge and skills. The efforts to achieve excellence – through a focus on learning, quality, teamwork and reengineering – are driven by the way organizations get things done and how they treat their people. Those are fundamental HR issues.

The purpose of this course is to enable students to understand and achieve organizational objectives and to explore contemporary issues in the field. Topics include: EEO; Affirmative Action; Job Analysis; Strategic Management; Recruitment/selection/training; Performance Appraisal; Compensation/benefits; Safety and Health; Labor Unions and Labor Management; and Global HRM.
