Objectives
It is widely known that in reaction to the technological evolution, organizations have been basing their competitiveness in intangible factors in which human involvement plays a key role. At the professional level, beyond the traditional activities related to selection, training or compensation, positions associated with HRM implicate strategic planning, development of continuous improvement or deep change projects.
These methods require the mastery of a set of advanced and specific competencies that only advanced training can provide. Moreover, knowledge in the HRM area has been growing exponentially, establishing an even more competent body to support an autonomous professional activity, evidence-based and permanent updating. In short, this master’s aim is, according to IBS’s mission, to transmit and convey HRM-related scientific knowledge, pursuant to the highest international patterns, that provides economic, social and cultural value to society.
Objective 1: Display effective written communication skills, including the following aspects: produce a well-structured document; demonstrate that the key messages have been clearly identified; express theoretical arguments to a specific application; summarize ideas and conclusions.
Objective 2: Display effective oral communication skills, including the following aspects: select the appropriate format for a given presentation; demonstrate confidence and that the communication was well-prepared; develop and make presentations with impact.
Objective 3: Develop critical thinking skills, including the following aspects: select and interpret relevant data and references from academic and non-academic sources; identify and debate ethical issues in business and management; formulate well-supported conclusions or solutions, apply appropriate methodologies or formulas to analyze and assess business issues and problems.
Objective 4: Have a broad understanding and develop a critical analysis of current HRM knowledge including the following aspects: identify and contrast the main theoretical and practical developments in the HRM field; apply HRM main concepts and professional practices.
Objective 5: Have a strategic approach to HR in order to increase human and organizational performance including the following aspects: analyze real HRM problems, and develop HRM interventions considering the multidisciplinary and multilevel nature of human phenomena; evaluate different HR intervention strategies and practices and select the most appropriate in order to increase human and organizational performance.
