Overview and Aim of the Seminar
In more and more organizations Human Resource Management (HRM) is extending its role
from an administrative expert to a strategic partner who is assisting the organization to
gain and sustain competitive advantages in a fast-paced environment.
In this course we look at the role of HR in strategic management. A range of areas in
Strategic HRM are covered, focusing on
 the strategic direction of HRM,
 the way in which HRM bridges the gap between policy and practice,
 the link between HRM and business performance, and
 the context within which HRM operates.
