Synopsis

This  unit introduces students to the management of people and to  the
management of the employment relationship. It combines theory and  the
practical application of that theory. Recognition is given to the fact
that  many  organisations do not conduct human resource management  in
accordance with the suggested theoretical framework. Students  examine
the  HRM  functions  associated with the  determination,  acquisition,
development   and  ongoing  management  of  the  human  resources   of
organisations.  Within this context, students examine  the  challenges
posed  to  the  management  of  the  employment  relationship  by  the
contemporary environment of organisations. Students will also  examine
the  suggested  future direction of the management of  the  employment
relationship  into  the  new century. Upon completion  of  this  unit,
students  will  have  an overall appreciation of  HRM.  This  unit  is
prerequisite for the HRM majors.
