Description including Unit Aims

This unit focuses on SHRM as a process within the organisation which is conceived, owned and executed by leaders and managers, rather than on the role of the HR function. It provides students with strategic frameworks and models for linking HR policies and practices to business performance management approaches, and examines HR implications of the $�resourced based view&� of the firm. It looks at strategic and governance issues concerning the deployment of Human Capital, and at organisation form and structuring, including an exploration of HR impacts of globalisation. The unit touches upon management learning in the context of organisation adaptation and transition. Myths and realities of the people aspects of change management are held under a critical spotlight.
