Course
Content: The aim of this course is to introduce students to
the field of international human resource management. With the globalisation of the world
economy it is more important than ever for organisations to engage in human resource
management on an international scale. During the course the options for international
firms in the areas of human resource planning, performance appraisal, training,
compensation and labour relations will be examined. Particular emphasis will be put on
recruitment and selection. In this part of the course participants will get practical
ideas for their personal application strategies. |
Methodology:
The course will rely on lectures, class discussions in a seminar
style environment, exams, research papers, presentations, cases, videos and possibly guest
speakers. To aid in the class discussion students will be expected to bring articles to
class which they have researched and which they feel adds to the understanding of the
Human Resource Management topic at hand. All the articles obtained by the students must be
saved in a folder and handed in at the end of the semester. The students will be required
to participate in one of three projects: (1) Research Papers; (2) Cases;
and (3) Presentations of Chapters from course textbook (International Human
Resource Management: Managing People in a Multinational Context. Dowling, Welch, and
Schuler. SouthWestern Publishers. 1999. |
