The main aims of the course are to develop students’ capacity to reflect about the role of human resource function and the cycle of human resource management.
1. Human Resource Management in Context. In this chapter we aim to discuss the different perspectives and theories of HRM, focusing particularly on the contextualistic perspectives and on international human resource management.
2. HRM practices. In this chapter we discuss the different HRM practices, such as recruitment and selection, reception and integration, assessment and rewards, training and development. We focus on the different methods and techniques.
3. Social responsibility, ethics and labour relations. In this chapter we focus on the most recent trends in collective participation, and the challenge they present to HRM.
The course is based on active pedagogical methods.
