NEWS FÖ3040!

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

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.
