BAD 64271 exam extension!
Posted: Oct 18, 2009
From some e-mails I've received it appears that you could use additional time to complete the exam. This is reasonable, as given what's on my calendar I can't get them all graded before class on Wed, anyway.
The new due date is at the beginning of class on Wed.
If you've already e-mailed your exam to me and would like to enhance it, that's fine - feel free to do so, and I'll grade the second one you submit.
NOTE: several of you have asked about computing validities. You can't compute them as you have no data to work with. I intended for you to find the average validities in some print/internet source - much easier.
Keep your questions coming! It's very important that you understand what the questions are asking for - I can't give credit for answers that don't address the intended questions. If at all in doubt, please e-mail your questions to me.

BAD 64271 HRM Class Oct 14
Posted: Oct 13, 2009
Just to clarify, class will not meet on October 14. I will not be there, and the bridge will not be connected.
But if you would like to use the classroom to find and work with a partner on the exam, that's fine. I have notified the computer labs that a bridge connection will not be needed, but to have the rooms open should any of you want to use them.
Good luck on the exam!

BAD 64271 HRM Class videos
Posted: Sep 29, 2009
I've added a link on the course website to the videos of class time. These videos may be watched in whole or in part from your computer. Thus, if you missed class, you can pretent that you're there :)
Look for "Course Videos" under "Course Content".
Please note that the techs were not able to split apart the two classes on Sept 9 and Sept 16, and the combined file is too large to post on the internet. Thus, I have a hard disk copy of this tape that I can loan out to you. Should you need to see either of these dates, please let me know - and well in advance of the exam!

Course Description
This course will examine techniques, practices and policies necessary to most competently carry out the management of human resources within an organization. In all areas of management functions, success is largely dependent upon obtaining and appropriately utilizing a variety of resources. Managing the people, or the human resources, who carry out all organizational functions underlies all of the other functions.
The basic premise of this course is that people are the most valuable resource an organization has. By now you should know this from your own experience. It is people who conceive of organizations, own them, manage them, and dissolve them. People perform the myriad organizational jobs required to produce goods and services, and ultimately it is people who consume these goods and services.
Because this is a survey course, we will cover to some extent the whole spectrum of content areas associated with HRM: impacts of organizational factors, government regulations, and environmental conditions on the evolution of HRM, as well as the many functional activities of human resource management. We will cover a mix of prescriptive and descriptive approaches to HRM, in that we will compare the ideal of research-based practices with the range of current practices used by organizations.
Anyone who has worked has had some array of experiences with HR policies and procedures. As employees, you are on the receiving end of these policies and procedures. Most of you are in the MBA program. As managers, you are/will be the individuals who deliver a large percentage of HR policies/procedures to your employees (HR employees do relatively little delivery, in comparison; they focus on system design, record keeping, and troubleshooting).
The focus of this course will be how you, as managers, can positively influence the effectiveness of your employees through your own actions to improve and implement organizational human resource management policies and procedures.
