MGT 708 Human Resource Management
This is a graduate level course in human resource management. The course is designed to broaden the understanding of managers relative to the role and importance of human resources in organizations and assist them in maximizing the effectiveness of their human capital. Course content will be approached from more of a strategic level with moderate tactical components. Focus areas will include job analysis, staffing, employee and labor relations, performance management, compensation, benefits, diversity, and international human resource challenges. Special emphasis is placed on how human resource decisions are influenced by forces internal and external to the organization including business strategy, global competition, technological changes, unionization, workforce characteristics, culture, and government regulation. A pervasive theme is the blending of theory and practice into a contemporary view of human resource management as a strategic organizational function. Each learner is responsible for their own learning. Critical thinking, problem diagnosis, and problem solving will be integrated into course discussions, writing assignments, and exercises. Learners will be expected to demonstrate intellectual curiosity in the analysis and synthesis of course concepts through course participation and assignments.
