Human Resource Management

As I mentioned before, last semester I was working on a research paper for the Organizational Theory and Behavior class. This research paper was focused on the understanding of the basis of human resource management in the global market. This review presented three different aspects of the human resource management globalization: Recruiting and selecting staff for international assignments, International expatriates training and development, and Management expatriates: appraising performance. Basically, the expatriate recruiting and selection reside in the normal domestic recruiting and selection as well as many other complex considerations. Selecting the right people has become very complicated because it requires sophisticated understanding and complicated procedures.

The Human Resource Management course helps me to understand better the role of Human Resources Management in the domestic market environment. We covered several themes that I really did not know about, themes such as Sexual Harassment in the workplace, or the legal aspects of discrimination in general. Another subject that was discussed, and I think a very important one, is the procedural justice and ethics in employee relations. I like how the book' author presents each of the themes. He gives the material and illustrates most of the points covered in each chapter by giving different scenarios. By using case studies, he helps to better visualize the problems and obtain a possible solution. There were several things that I covered in my research paper such as recruiting and selection, training and development, and performance appraisal, but the material in this course helps me to put all the knowledge acquired until now in a more organized, complete, and understandable perspective. I think the course comprises very interesting subjects in a very intense approach. HRM
