The student is expected to have general knowledge of behavioral science. The course is not open to students of the cand. merc. HRM, cand. soc. HRM and cand. merc. psyk. students (as they have already a comprehensive knowledge of HRM).

The core of the subject is the relation between the individual and the organization. Among the selected themes are HR strategy, recruitment and selection, learning, competence and career development, organizational and individual identity, communication, new ways of organizing work, information technology and HRM, and international HRM. Emphasis will be on critical, theoretical analyses of HRM issues and dilemmas encountered in practice.

Teaching will be dialogue oriented, i.e. students and teachers will discuss theoretical and practical issues. The teaching style will be a mix of lectures, individual exercises, group exercises, and case work. Guest lecturers will be invited to flavour the course and put its content into perspective. The students are expected to participate extensively in the discussions and draw on their experiences. In effect, students unwilling or unable to meet the expectations will not benefit from following the course.

The course accelerates the development of analytical and presentation skills, as well as the ability to use databases of research based journal articles. Also, the course stimulates (and demands) the capability of self-motivation and time management.

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

Written exam, open book, 4 hours, with the use of students’ own computers. All legal aids permitted.
