Module Indicative Content
This Module combines the behavioural bases of Human Resource Management with the essentials of HRM in practice, including effective people management policies and techniques. Topics that may be developed include the behavioural bases of HRM, the HRM function, the linkage between HRM strategies and Business Strategy, obtaining human resources, developing people at work, rewarding performance, and effective employment relationships. The module also provides course members with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to use and manipulate a range of sophisticated management skill, including communication and presentation skills, leadership and interpersonal and interaction skills
Module Learning Strategies
The learning strategies for the part-time on-campus and corporate modules requires students to develop the course content and complete the assessment in 150 hours of which 36 will be in class support and 114 of independent and self-managed learning. Students attending full time will receive and extra 10 hours of class support to provide further time to help develop a better understanding of the context of HRM through case-studies and discussion.
The tutor-directed learning strategies will involve the course participants in lectures, group discussion, group activities involving data analysis and synthesis, case-study, and may also involve group-based workshops, off-campus sequential learning and/or residential experience. For MCMS students contents pertaining to the achievement of learning outcomes 6 & 7 will be covered in the UK whilst the rest of the module will be delivered in China with a certain degree of cultural contexualisation.
