Course Description
This course will focus on viewing the organization's personnel as a resource that can impact the performance of the organization and is designed for all individuals planning to manage people-whether as part of the human resource management function, or for the majority as a manager in another organizational function.

Organizations are continuously changing in order to meet contemporary challenges - globalization, complex ethical dilemmas, heightened competition, increased security concerns, economic stagnation, increased litigation, workforce diversity, accelerating technological change, downsizing and mergers, rapid expansion, and so forth-and managers throughout organizations are finding themselves increasingly responsible for effective human resource management practices. Just as there are systematic principles in managing the marketing, operations, financial, and accounting functions of organizations, so too is there a systematic approach to managing the human resource component of organizations.
