BUS 430 - Human Resource Management

3 Credit(s)

This course will provide an overview of strategic human resource management (HRM). HRM is a fundamental component of the competitiveness, effectiveness, and sustainability of any organization, as it influences who is hired, how they are trained, evaluated, and compensated, and what steps are taken to retain them. Throughout the course we will focus on the role of managers and how they can develop and implement effective and efficient human resource practices that support the strategic objectives of their firms. Increasingly, the task of managing and developing people is shared between human resources and general managers. Learners actively examine HRM within a larger context of the organization’s strategic direction, as well as the external and legal environment.

Prerequisite(s): BUS 348 and BUS 349.
