Dear Students, (2024-12-03)

Very nice to see you today during my short introduction on recent findings regarding present literature reviewing and discussions on your upcoming work on Module 2 of the course. Already in the presentations of Module 1, I could conclude that you are a skilled and focused group of students and expanding your work from the first module to the second should constitute no problem. In any case I am available for additional supervision more or less 24/7; text messages work fine, or simply call: +46707774944.

Formal supervision slots will be given at the end of next week and I will make and distribute a list of personal slots at the end of this week.

Do not forget the program guest lecture by Nicole Bergman of Hitachi company on friday 6:th at 11:00 that Lenka marketed on the program home page. The invitation is repeated hereunder.

Dear Students (2024-11-28)

Due to the technical reasons(problems I described earlier I by mistake set de last delivery time for Module 1 to 23:59 tomorrow.

PLEASE: keep the original time of 12:00 so that you can check the other students deliveries and be able to pose some questions during the seminar on Monday!!!

Beste regards

/Mårten

Dear Students, (2024-11-28)

For technical reasons I have changed the Submission Module 1 to become "Inlämning Module"; "Inlämning" is the Swedish word for Submission. Submit your your PPT-Slides in that space!! For Maria who have already submitted her slides you have to take no action, I have moved your content to the new folder.

All the Best

Dear Students, (2024-11-14)

It was very nice meeting most of you yesterday at the course introduction; I have uploaded the introduction slides on Canvas. As regards my recommendation for the first part of the course, I clearly recommend that you start by obtaining a copy of the course book in one way or the other as soon as possible. Thereafter: move on by checking out the first recorded lectures that are uploaded on Canvas, that is, the ones that concern the subject in general terms – lecture 1 and 2 - and the ones that concern the theories in the last part of the book – i.e., the theoretical chapters in section 5 of the book, briefly presented in lecture 3. Finally scan the book for a particular IHRM practice that you pay special attention to. Check the features of that practice by checking out the corresponding lecture and chapter in the pensum book.

As regards the upcoming Seminar 1, read the instructions in the course guide and note especially that it is an individual assignment and that you do not need to prepare a text for the seminar; the assessment of your achievements will be based on your oral presentation and the PPT-slides you upload on Canvas and present during the seminar.

NOTE: The seminars are obligatory, and you have to participate in order have credits.

Any questions are welcome! Just send an SMS or call: +46707774944.

 

All the best

/Mårten

PS As regards possible literature to gain/repeat some of the fundamentals of HRM, we realized yesterday that the library actually disposed of the majority of the basic textbooks when moving to the new campus building. If you need some input in this respect, I recommend any book that covers the basic topics and contains HRM in the title. I received a commercial push message from SAGE yesterday promoting ‘An Introduction to Human Resource Management’ by Nick Wilton. That is clearly an option, several other titles might do as well. I also checked with program coordinator Lenka Klimplova about options; she as actually preserved some basic book on the subject and you are free to contact her in order to lend a copy. 

 

Dear Students!

The course starts Wednesday, the 13:th of November at 10:00. The introductory lecture will be given in room B206. Before the meeting, please read the course guide that is already uploaded on Canvas. Do not forget to get access to the course book. It exists for purchase only in an electronic version. You can use this link:

https://play.google.com/store/books/details/G%C3%BCnter_K_Stahl_Handbook_of_Research_in_Internation?id=3idujqo7Q7YC&hl=en_GB

or:

https://www.elgaronline.com/edcollbook/edcoll/9781849809184/9781849809184.xml

The material in the course book will be complemented during the course according to your choices; decisions on that you can discuss with med me after the course have started. 

And, dear students, if there are any question marks now or during the course, I am "always" available on +46707774944, send a text message or feel free to call. You can of course send an e-mail as well.

Best regards
