This course will concentrate on the theory and practice of effective Human Resources Management (HRM). Many organisations today are facing a crisis in productivity and international trade competition that is threatening their very survival. Coupled with this challenge is the demand that organisations deliver an increased quality of work life to employees and comply with an intricate and complex set of laws, regulations and court decisions. The aim of this course is to explore the various HRM functions of planning, staffing and appraising, compensating, improving, establishing and maintaining, and to fully appreciate their inter-relationship and impact on the achievement of organisational objectives, strategies and long-term economic survival.

Too often HRM has failed to live up to expectation because it has in part provided services that were not necessarily linked to the overall business strategy. Strategic HRM seeks to ensure that HRM activity is clearly linked to business goals and that it is accountable for its services. This course will seek to bridge theory and practice in HRM to create a vehicle for adding value to an organisation. Managing HRM is more than understanding its component disciplines discussed in HRMT20007. Topics to be covered include linking strategy and HRM, managing HRM activity to meet business goals and managing people in both global and domestic business contexts.

The entire HR field has experienced tremendous change in the past decade. The global economy affects us all, no matter the size of the organisation. HR professionals need to recognise that globalisation is the defining political and economic force in the world today, requiring new ways of thinking and responding. This course focuses on skills development and mastery of the necessary knowledge to be successful in the worldwide marketplace. The course examines the various external business and cultural influences and environments in the Asia Pacific region to demonstrate the differing human resources policies and practices in those economies. This is extended to show how the economic underpinning of these labour markets, and the HR responses to the national labour markets have been institutionalised.
