Implementing Improvements in Organisational Performance

Module code: MN7369

Building on semester one, this module is designed to equip you with an understanding of how HR practice through production and service reorganisation can boost competitiveness across various occupational, sectoral, national, international and global settings.  You'll learn how to implement these strategies effectively through real-world applications.

You'll start this process by interpreting and analysing simple balance sheets, basic costing concepts and techniques, budgetary planning and control, in the context of reward management strategy and practices.  This will help you to understand the concept of 'high-performance work practices' and evaluate the extent to which they can contribute to enhancing sustainable performance at both individual and organisational levels.

You'll use your knowledge to critically evaluate the concepts of 'organisational learning' and 'knowledge management' by using case studies to demonstrate how the principles of academic research on organisational performance are applied to the daily practices and decision-making processes of an HR professional.
