MGT 721: Human Resource Management and Delelopment Course description: The long course description The course provides students with a comprehensive review of the concepts and principles of human resource planning (HRP) and development. HRP is a formal process of linking business strategy with human resource practices. Approaches to HRP can be arrayed along a continuum ranging from an "add-on" to business strategy to a separate planning process. In this course, issues and processes necessary for doing integrated HRP will be covered. This course discusses strategic plans as having a strong external orientation that covers major portions of the organization. The plans especially focus on how the organization will position itself relative to its competitors, to ensure its long-term survival, create value, and grow. HRP, by comparison, is the process of anticipating and providing for the movement of people into, within, and out of an organization. Overall, its purpose is to help managers deploy their human resources as effectively as possible, where and when they are needed, to accomplish the organization’s goals. This course examines recent trends and developments in HRP and HR development in the changing context of work and employment.
