Course This course addresses the human resource function as a key strategic function in successful
Description organizations. The course recognizes the dynamic relationship between strategy, people,
technology, and the processes that drive organizations. Key topic areas include: employment law,
staffing, compensation, human resource development, and performance management. The course
uses readings, lectures, class discussions, and application activities (simulator). The application
activities (simulator) will help students apply the concepts to their workplaces. (3 credit hours)

This course supports the mission of Campbell University by putting strategic HRM in a moral,
social and ethical context consistent with a Christian world view. Individual and corporate
responsibilities consistent with this view will be discussed in the context of real world cases and
examples.

Course Objectives
1. To learn the concepts and application of strategic HRM.

2. To learn the tools and techniques of strategic HRM,

3. To show, using the simulator, how these concepts and techniques can be applied in everyday
managerial decision-making.

Attendance Mandatory.
Class presentations and interactions are critical to this course. If your work schedule prevents you
from attending classes regularly, please take this class at another time. You must attend all group
project preparation meetings, presentations, and guest lectures.

Grading Grading scale - A=90-100; B=80<90; C=70<80; and F<70

Group Projects
25% of the grade. Time will be allowed during some class sessions for group meetings and
 simulator work. A final report on the simulator activity will be submitted by the team.

Team and Class Participation

Each group will grade their members on contribution, participation, attendance etc.. This will
contribute to the final project grade by 25%.

Individual Grade
A final exam will be given (multiple choice, true/false). This will contribute to the final grade by
50%.
Rules 1. You are required to participate in the group project.
2. Use Times Roman 12 font, single space, 1” margin on all sides, and an accepted citation style.
3. For group projects - include a cover page that identifies the topic, the class, the semester, the
instructor, and most importantly, the names of individual group members.
4. Please provide a copy of your slides before any presentation.

I need to be informed early in the semester if a group member is not contributing to the
project and not the week/day before the final presentation.

Students with documented disabilities who desire modifications or accommodations should contact
the office of Student Support Services located in the University’s Hight House.
All students are subject to the academic integrity and behavioral expectations of the University

Criteria for the Course

Attendance and good written work will not ensure an A grade for the course. I look for the following:

1. Regular attendance (University policy states that missing more than 2 classes can result in a failing grade)
2. Class participation
3. Class preparation
4. Group participation / contribution
5. Understating and use of the course concepts
6. Factual analysis
7. Presentation skills (written and oral)
