This unit is aimed at teaching students to apply knowledge and skills gained during the human resources management (HRM) degree to real organisations. The unit reviews and refines perspectives on strategic HRM; teaches applied consulting skills through a project that reviews real issues in a real organisation; and provides the intellectual tools for students to evaluate various approaches to problem solving in key areas of the HRM field, both theoretical and practical. The major activity/assessment exercise during the unit is a group-based consulting project/review of a real HR issue in an organisation which some students will have access to via their work. -- Course Website
