Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course deals with the issues of organisation of human resource management in multinational enterprises, operating in global environment. Here the HR function faces increased complexity across all its functions: recruitment and selection, training and development, performance and rewards management, retention, etc.
This complexity stems from the cultural and institutional differences observed among the countries, as well as from the other socio-economic factors.
This course takes a close look at the specifics of management of the global workforce thorough a combination of theoretical insight with the discussion of empirical data and the analysis of the business cases.
After completion of the course the students should be able to comprehend the main functions of HRM, the challenges faced by HR professionals in MNEs, and the ways in which HRM helps companies gain competitive advantage in the global environment.
The course also emphasises the importance of application of the theoretical knowledge in specific business situations and trains relevant skills though the analysis and discussion of the the examples set in the case studies.

The course is delivered primarily through asynchronous means, combined with online lectures and online team-based presentations.
There are up to two on-site meetings planned, apart from the introductory class and an exam which are also planned to be held in class. This is subject to the further changes of the COVID-related situation and consequently the requirements imposed by the University of Vienna.
