Description

This course is an introduction and a general outline of the topic. It aims to provide students with an overview of Human Resource Management (HRM) related to the strategic goal of innovation and differentiation. Students who wish to deepen their knowledge and specialize in the field of HRM will have to complete additional courses or request additional readings. We will adopt several approaches but particularly that of a general manager and focus primarily on how to think strategically about the main aspects of managing the organization’s human assets in businesses. In this context, it is more and more each manager’s responsibility to make decisions regarding issues such as recruitment, training, or appraisal. Therefore, it is the aim of this course to provide students with a better understanding of accurate and appropriate HRM practices in order to allow people to succeed in their roles as well as to contribute to firm performance and to make employees satisfied at work. Students will work on a group project to define an HR policy that meets an innovative goal.
