Synopsis

This course will provide an introduction to human resource management theory as a basis from which students can explore their organisation's capacity for innovation. Students will analyse their organisation using concepts such as performance management, learning organisations, employee participation, culture and change management. The course materials emphasise the ideas and processes for facilitating innovation within education, but are easily transferable to other organisational contexts.
