This course requires students to actively participate, inside and outside the classroom. Attendance and
active participation are critical to success in this class, both for lectures and for group projects. Students

In addition to active participation during the lecturing, students must involve in group discussion about
case studies given in every chapters, that will be followed by presenting the result of the discussion to the
rest of the class. In addition to mid- and final-exam that should be done in individual basis, there will be
two primary assignments that should be carried out in groups:

 HRM Mini Thesis

Students are required to determine a particular company in which they can take as a case study for
their mini-thesis. A profile of HR functions in the company should be provided first, emphasizing
particular issues they want solve as a Mini-Thesis project. The evaluation of the HRM Mini Thesis will
be done twice: the proposal of the Mini-Thesis in the beginning (as a substitute of Mid-term Exam),
and the full report in the end of the semester.

 Review of Selected Research in HRM

Students are required to pick a published research article in (published in reputable journals for the
last five years). The chosen article requires an approval from the lecturers due to their relevant to
