International Human Resources

This course will provide students with an overview of the impact of globalization on the management of human resources at home and abroad. The course will focus on the complex, interdisciplinary nature of international human resources and take the student beyond a narrow functional focus. The student will explore managing and developing global leaders and their staff against the backdrop of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and cross border alliances. Expatriate assignments, social and cultural diversity and the paradoxes of human resource management in a global environment will be investigated. Students will research and present a comparison of human resources between Canada and another country.
