This course introduces the fundamentals of Human Resource Management (HRM) and how HR is using data to drive decision making (People Analytics). HRM should be an essential part of any business strategy to be integrated into the traditional trio of finance, marketing and operations. In most organizations, Human resource related costs are by far the number one line of operating expenses. But to earn and maintain a seat at the table, and help make data-informed strategic decisions, HR partners will need to bring a solid knowledge about gathering the right data, choosing appropriate analysis, and interpreting and communicating findings in a meaningful way. Prereq: ADMN 575 or MGT 580 or MGT 535.
