Human resource management impacts the life of employees and outcomes for organizations. It is therefore crucial to design informed people management practices to help companies prosper and individuals get more meaning and other rewards out of work.
This course examines cutting-edge human resource management (HRM) issues in multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in or originated from Asia. It discusses the HRM challenges Western companies face in Asia; the people issue that Asian multinationals face when venturing abroad; and the current emerging domain of people analytics in the Asian context. As such, the course combines substantive areas of people management issues and evidence-based decision-making skills to resolve practical HRM problems in case studies. The delivery includes lectures covering relevant research on particular HRM topics, case analysis in classes, group activities on data-driven skills to arrive at HR decisions, and guest speakers featuring HRM practitioners.
