This course is an introductory course to human resources management allowing students to discover a set of major cross-cutting issues through sequences based on the teacher’s presentations and practical cases, as well as a reading of texts from major books and journal articles. The main objective is to make students reflect on human resources and employment management practices, on the contexts in which these practices take place and evolve, as well as on the theoretical foundations of this discipline. It explores a number of issues in human resources management, including human resource strategy, managing HR globally, workforce planning, recruitment, selection, performance management and appraisal, compensation, training and development, and labor relations.
