COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course seeks to present human resource management as a strategic issue no less significant than the management of any other organizational strategic asset.  As such, it is geared to providing an understanding of HR issues from the perspective of top-tier executives and policy-makers rather than from the perspective of the HR manager.   Day-to-day human resource quandaries are discussed in the context of mainstream economic, psychological and sociological theory, all with an eye towards understanding the impact of such decisions on employees, organizational effectiveness, and the broader market and social context.  By the end of the course, students should have a good understanding of the contingencies that need to be considered in the design of human resource systems that are congruent with and supportive of particular business strategies.
