Aims, contents and method of the course
Course Overview
One of the key success factors of any corporation is how to manage people. Over the last 50 years, the global economy has become increasingly integrated. As corporations go global, managing global human resources emerges as one of the most complex and challenging issues..
This course is designed to illuminate the issues faced by global corporations as they compete in ever changing global environment.. The aim is not to teach the “correct” way to manage; there is no one best way. Rather, the aim is to provide an understanding of various theoretical models and business practices to cope with managerial complexity and the implications of these options. We focus on the understanding of concepts of human resource management with a heavy emphasis on the application of these concepts to global settings. Through cases, experiential exercises, reading discussions, and papers, you will have the opportunity to acquire the general framework of global human resource management.Specific Course Objectives
1. Understand the implications of changes in the global environment and their impact on the global corporation
2. Introduce you the key analytical concepts and models of global HRM
3. Understand the concept of culture and cultural dimensions to analyze and compare different cultures
4. Assess the principal comparisons and contrasts of the business and human resource systems in different culture
5. Evaluate the different approaches to and strategies for HRM in global corporations and their impact on employees
6. Provide opportunities to apply these theories to some real organizational and managerial problems
