Synopsis

This unit introduces students to the management of people as the human
resources  of an organisation 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 should  have  an
overall  appreciation of HRM. This unit is prerequisite  for  the  HRM
majors.
