This course begins with the premise that people are a firm's most important resource, and that the management of this critical resource ultimately determines the success or failure of the organization. This class exposes cadets to theories and concepts of Human Resource Management (HRM). More broadly, it encompasses topics associated with strategically managing human capital to support the performance objectives of an organization. This course combines explanations of theory with practical lessons that help frame decision making related to HR issues from the perspective of a General Manager (GM). By analyzing HRM practices and organizational outcomes through presented theory and case studies, cadets learn how to apply HRM concepts to positively influence the success of any organization. This course is required for cadets pursuing the Management major.
