Why study this programme?
This programme provides students an elaborate multi-level approach (individual employee, team, business unit, organization, sectors/populations, and countries) regarding Strategic HRM (and with regard to the relationship between Strategic HRM and micro HRM) and comprises a rich variety of experience learning and case studies, both from a European and a broader, global perspective. As such, this curriculum stresses, firstly, the critical, strategic importance of ‘human resources’. Concretely, skills, behaviors, and interactions of individual employees provide, on the one hand, the foundation for strategy formulation, and form, on the other hand, the means for strategy implementation. Secondly, the HRM practices of a working organization are instrumental in the light of the development of the strategic capacity of her human resources ‘pool’.
