Lectures will be integrated with the discussion and presentation of business case studies, exercises and/or project works. Through case discussions, in-class exercises, work groups and project works, this course allows students to acquire advanced skills in the application of managerial tools for organizational analysis and performance measurement of both HR processes and practices. In addition, the reference to the most recent results of the academic literature and the participation of HRM professionals as guest lecturers will make this knowledge constantly updated. Throughout the term, students will be tasked with a number of assignments on HRM issues, such as simulations, discussion groups, and written reports/paper in order to improve their observation, interpretation, reflection and judgement skills

Attendance to the course is highly recommended but not mandatory.

The exam (held at the end of the course) aims at assessing both theoretical knowledge and analytical skills. It consists of an oral examination. For attending students, the final evaluation will include the total of scores they achieved during the course through the participation to project works and work groups.
