Učební cíle

This module provides management students the opportunity to study two core sub disciplines, Human Resource Management (HRM) and Information Systems (IS) as a coherent whole. The focus of this ‘coherent whole’ will emphasise both the uniqueness of both disciplines but also their interrelatedness in terms of their contribution to the development and changing needs of organisational practises. These disciplines are often taught as independent ‘silos’ under the management rubric but in fact share a common concern reflected in changing organisational needs, practises, structures, and cultures, as well as changing roles reflected by and through technological deployment, sustainability and information use.
