Description 'International Human Resource Management' examines the implications for human resource management that arise from the internationalisation of organisations. Through portfolio reports and case studies, students analyse a range of comparative systems and structures of employment relations and the strategic management of global organisations. This analysis includes a focus on key human resource functions including recruitment, training, reward and evaluation of the impact of society, politics, economics and culture of host countries on human resource strategies. Students examine also the role of global stakeholders and assess the implications for human rights that arise from globalisation.
