Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Human resource management (HRM) plays one of the main functions in modern organizations. The goal of HRM is to utilize human capital effectively through managerial actions in a company. The discussion of HRM involves beyond the main functions of planning, recruitment, training and compensation, also such issues as leadership, culture and corporate values.
In the global business environment, the HRM of multinational enterprises (MNC/MNE) has to support their corporate strategies, and deal with employees who are coming from different countries with different ethnic/cultural backgrounds.
Thus, this course aims to provide students with the understanding of the nature of HRM in MNEs.
By the end of the course the students are expected to:
1. Have a comprehensive understanding of the main topics in the global HRM, including the specific strategies related to performance of key HRM functions and principles applying to HRM in MNCs,
2. Be able to comprehend and discuss the distinguishing features of global HRM, in its depth and complexity.
3. Be aware of the modern trends and outstanding issues related to global HRM, especially with regards to such topics as sustainability, social corporate responsibility, etc.
