Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The objective of this course is to provide a better understanding of key components and concepts of strategic human resource management. Drawing upon a wide range of disciplines, including organizational behavior, strategy, psychology, and economics, we present, discuss and apply theories, frameworks, and tools to manage human resources more effectively and support the strategic objectives of their firms. Our focus is on large complex firms rather than small or medium-sized enterprises, although a number of issues that we will cover are of direct relevance for a broad spectrum of firms. We will present examples from firms operating in Scandinavia as well as other regions of the world. The course is taught using the “case-based teaching” and participant-centered learning in Harvard Business School style that involves high-energy discussion, debate, and interaction. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own views into the discussion and to share insights and learning with fellow students. |
