International Human Resource Management

Catalog description

This course examines how human resource management (HRM) changes strategically depending on the internationalization of the company, as well as HRM practices in countries outside the United States. It focuses on the connections between corporate strategies and the effective management of human resources which, at times, may require differing policies across countries. Through this course, students are exposed to, and encouraged to critically think about, international HRM topics such as global strategic HRM, international organizations and their structures, cross-cultural management, global staffing and international assignments, compensation and benefits, the legal and regulatory context, international training and development, among others. In the end, students develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, culture and its impact on human resource management. Prerequisite: MGT 308 or MGT 385 or concurrent enrollment.
