This course is ideal for students who are interested in business but would like to focus their studies on human resource management. The increased realization that human resources are a vital organizational capability has given human resource management a critical role in the achievement of organisational effectiveness. In order to achieve competitive advantage, organisations are increasingly looking at human resource management at the operational and strategic levels. Students will study core business and HR disciplines and will also gain an insight into: how people work in organisations — their motivation, group dynamics and leadership qualities; the management of human resources — development, reward, resourcing and employee relations; contextual influences such as employment legislation; plus the role human resources play in meeting organisations’ strategic goals.
