This course offers students an introduction into the world of HR-practices. The main focus is on operational HR and day-to-day activities, but always clearly framed within the specific opportunities and limitations set by the nature and culture of the company and by its (HR) strategy and policies. The course provides a mix between academic studies and theories on the one hand and concrete business examples on the other. Students thereby acquire hands-on knowledge that is backed up by science and will be able to tailor HR-policies to a specific organization. They will also be able to analyze work situations from a theoretical and academic point of view and to intervene effectively in the organization. Students will be taught :
- That there are different ways to look at staff and what the effects of each perspective are.
