The course examines the management of human resources in organizations. In-depth analysis is conducted of the managerial role of human resource management (HRM) in all types of organizations. It delves into the functional areas of HRM and their integration into corporate strategy.

An integrated case oriented approach is used to study the formulation and implementation of human resources policies in organizations to achieve organizational goals and to satisfy employee needs.
MN-M063 Researching People and Work

The module will develop the knowledge and skills needed to complete a research dissertation. Learners will develop an understanding of how to plan and execute an independent research project. We will critically evaluate how different research designs contribute to the theory and/or practice of HRM. Learners will develop core research skills that will be applied in their HRM research project. This includes developing the ability to: synthesise academic literature to identify an HRM research issue or problem; evaluate and apply appropriate research methods; discuss and apply ethical research principals; understand data collection and analysis approaches; present and interpret research findings; identify conclusions, and implications and recommendations of research.
