Rationale
for Module |
A firm’s organisation structures its activities;
allocates roles, responsibilities and authority; assigns tasks
to employees; integrates employees in to the firm’s rules, procedures
and expectations governing job
performance; and collects and transmits information necessary for
coordination, decision-making and
control. As a vehicle through which company strategy is implemented,
organisation design can only be as
effective as the people employed within it. In today’s international,
information-based, service-oriented
economy, the know-how and skills of staff are valuable assets that have
to be managed strategically,
developed systematically and utilized effectively. The marketing of
products requires a focus on the
needs of the market partners and especially of those of the consumers.
The characteristics of services
mean that the interaction between staff and customers is crucial to how
the latter view the product.
This module studies the key human resource issues in work organisations
in an environment
characterised by change in terms of strategy and skills, diversity in
terms of organisational practices, and
in which the use of interpersonal skills for communication is of
critical importance. The module provides
an opportunity for students to confront and critically assess the
assumptions and methods underpinning
human resource management such as leadership, planning, recruitment and
development.
The module builds on the content of the Level 1 modules “Business
Context & Functions” and
complements the Level 2 pathway specific business law modules and
“Project Management &
Professional Communication”. |
