How do firms organize and utilize their human resources to
successfully compete in dynamic and competitive business environments?
This course addresses the strategic, operational, and ethical issues
associated with effectively managing human resources in organizations

organizations and that fact that students are often called upon to
work in teams across the business curriculum. This course is the first

management core of the undergraduate business program. The course
provides a foundation for BA 452 (Leadership) and BA 453 (Business
Planning and Strategy) which are taken in the senior year. Required
