Kursinnehåll

The course is based on the assumption that most students who take it are likely to embark upon careers as junior/middle managers rather than specialist HR practitioners. In these roles they will be subject to three sets of pressures: i) managing their personal performance and career; ii) managing the performance and careers of subordinates; iii) managing the policies emanating from HR specialists. The course is designed to equip students with the tools to help manage these (potentially conflicting) pressures.
