INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
MGT3IHR
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
The phenomena of internationalisation and globalisation have substantial implications for the human resource management of organisations. In addition to broad strategic concerns, issues such as understanding and appreciating differences between local environments and international staff placement are complex and have far-reaching implications. Even organisations that choose not to operate across national boundaries are affected directly by internationalisation and globalisation. This subject aims to build on the knowledge acquired in Human Resource Management and to apply it in the international context. Both theoretical and applied approaches are used. It is hoped that students will thereby gain an understanding of the strategies and policies available to organisations in this increasingly important area.
