Synopsis

Strategic HRM and Change Leadership is an integrative, applied course that places HRM at the heart of business and corporate strategy, equipping students with the holistic knowledge required to successfully drive change as future HRM leaders. Students will conduct an in-depth case study analysis with a view to producing a report detailing plans for vertically and horizontally aligning HRM policies and practices within an organisation. They will be expected to integrate knowledge derived from both the taught HRM courses and their work attachment with new insights into key issues in strategic HRM, formulating plans for strategy implementation, evaluation and development. Assessment will include an individual written report and a group-based assignment that replicate key events in the strategic planning process.
