Human Resource Management

Studying with one of the largest Bachelor of Commerce programs in the country gives you some distinct advantages. You can focus your studies in a traditional field such as Accounting, Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources. Or you can branch out into some of the unique and non-traditional majors such as Business Economics & Law, East Asian Studies, Entrepreneurship & Family Enterprise, Retailing & Services, and Management Information Systems. In the classroom, you can expect to find professors who challenge you to put ideas to work. Team and project work is a strong component of all of our classes, with our professors often playing a role as coach, mentor, moderator and information resource.Developing expertise in HRM will help you understand why people do what they do and how to manage the causes of behaviour. It will give you in-depth knowledge and capabilities that the other majors do not offer. If you survey seasoned managers, almost all will tell you that managing people is the most difficult thing they have to do! The challenges are huge, and people-related issues are often complex and nuanced. To develop your own capabilities, you will find that many of the HRM courses emphasize the acquisition of explicit and tacit knowledge. You will be trained to diagnose problems, develop solutions that work, and to formulate effective implementation and evaluation strategies. But itпПХs not just about solving problems. ItпПХs as much about creating environments and contexts that lead to growth and excellence.
