MGT 205 - Human Resource Management
MGT 205 (Formerly MG 210) - Human Resources Management This course provides the student with a realistic survey of the functions of human resources management as it is known today. It is built around the broad functions which management must perform in order to build and cooperate with an effective and satisfied group of people. As an introductory course, it is designed for all management students, not solely for those whose career interests point them to human resources. The viewpoint used is that manpower management is a major responsibility of all managers rather than a responsibility only of a "personnel" staff. The course acquaints the student with the system and legal aspects of "people management" rather than merely the activities assigned to those who provide various personnel services for management (3 Credits). Recommended: MGT 105.
