Undergraduate Programs
The school offers three distinct undergraduate majors to Honours level: Human Resource Management, International Business and Management.
The major in Human Resource Management provides a strong applied and theoretical grounding in all aspects of the management of people in paid employment. This School major is designed to provide the breadth of study required for successful professional career mobility in the 'HR' field. Courses in general management, organisation behaviour and human resources are a foundation. It also provides the opportunity to acquire advanced, applied knowledge in specialised human resource functions. These include staff planning, recruitment, selection and development, training, gender equity, employee motivation and performance management, remuneration management, industrial relations, superannuation, employment law, workplace negotiation, international and cross-cultural human resource management, and occupational health and safety. All these areas are influenced by wider corporate strategy and business plans and may play a key role in enhancing organisational performance.
Accordingly, the School's programs place a strong emphasis on the strategic aspects and importance of human resource planning, policy and practice. The major in Human Resource Management provides a solid career basis for those seeking or advancing a career in managing people in paid employment.
International Business is a rapidly growing field of study as economic activity becomes increasingly global in scale. The study of International Business deals with the development, strategy, and management of multinational enterprises and economic relations in the global context of complex and dynamic business environments. Besides the study of multinational enterprises, the field necessarily includes business context studies and culture and communications, which may include language studies. Doing business and making decisions internationally involves greater complexity involving, special knowledge and skills to ensure success.
Strategic decisions have to be made about which countries to operate in and whether or not to export or license, whether to set up new facilities, establish a joint venture or acquire an existing business and how to sustain competitiveness internationally. Critical issues at the international level include global strategy, different business systems, country risk, business negotiations, cultural differences, and performance measurement and evaluation.
The Management major examines the processes, conceptual expertise and work functions involved in managing people and organisations effectively. Broadly, management is concerned with building and developing relationships between people and organisations, formulating goals, designing organisational structures, fostering innovation, building effective communications, controlling resources and facilitating productive activities. Rather than focusing purely on the tasks, roles or functions of managers, this major examines the complex relations between power, people and resources that are the key challenges to effective management.
Theories and predictions concerning new organisational forms, future business trends, international strategy, and more effective management practices are studied in addition to established knowledge in the discipline. The overall objective is to equip future managers to apply knowledge and skill effectively to the complex problems facing organisations in today's dynamic global environment.
