Comment/Description

Aims
- Awareness of fundamental tasks of Human Resource Managers in a fluid work environment
- ability to analyze HR processes as inherent to almost every management function
- ability to analyze HR processes as inherent to many fields of economics
- ability to critically assess the role and impact of the „human factor“ in management and economic problems
- Ability to select and apply suitable tools and concepts from various HR fields based on applicable theories and models
- Analyze and solve applied cases from hard and soft HRM from management and economics

Content
- Why is the „human factor“ which used to play a secondary role compared to tangible resources considered indispensible nowadays?
- Which fields of action are the ones most dependent on HRM as an ancillary support function?
- Which fields of action are the ones crucially dependent on HRM as a central function?
- Where could failures have been avoided had the „human factor“ been taken sufficiently into account? (e. g., Mergers and Acquisitions in management; absorptive capacity in economics)
- How can Human Resource Managers contribute to dealing with boundaryless and networked relations both on a local company level and on a global scale?
- How does management of a company and management of a country relate to each other? How can both profit from economizing on Human Resources in a more systematic way?
