MHRM 6901 - Capstone: Strategic Human Resource Management

3 semester credits

The human resource (HR) management function has evolved into a strategic-partner role due to its broad organizational impact and potential for strategically advancing the organization's business agenda. As a strategic partner, the HR function is a part of the executive strategic planning team and can drive elements of the strategic plan. In this course students can develop a strong understanding of strategic planning as a key process and have the opportunity to develop critical knowledge and tools for understanding the organizational challenges for which the HR function can develop support. Students also explore how to align ethics and values with the strategy formulation process, align human resource strategies to the organization's strategies, and drive organizational success by helping create a competitive advantage.
