Subject outline
In a highly competitive and service-oriented economy, effectively managing human capital is essential for an organisation#s success, and human resource (HR) management is increasingly part of an organisation#s strategy development and implementation. HR is often a distinct unit within the organisation, but it is also increasingly integrated within the general management role. Thus, effective general managers must be able to identify, develop, and enhance the value of their employees. In this subject, you will be introduced to key HR management principles and functions that contribute to organisational effectiveness. You will be encouraged to critically examine how specific HR practices can be applied in the general management context.
