Taught Modules

MN-3000 Final Year Project

This module serves as the capstone for the BSc Business Management programme. The module allows students to undertake in-depth and applied research on an academic or practical topic of their choosing.
MN-M012 Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management (HRM) has become the dominant concept in the field of employment relations in recent times. This module critically evaluates the claim that the firm can achieve a sustained competitive advantage through its human resource with the implementation of HRM. It introduces the key functions of HRM and looks at the implications of HRM of companies operating within diverse contexts.
MN-M598 Employment Relations and Wellbeing

The purpose of this module is to introduce key aspects of and current developments in the employment relationship. During the module we will discuss issues of perennial importance such as the wage-effort bargain, the indeterminacy of labour power and conflict in the workplace. We will consider the impact of managerial strategies designed to increase worker motivation and how these serve to individualise the workplace and generate dysfunctional outcomes. We will consider HRM as system of people management from this perspective and how it complements or contradicts more traditional systems of people management and its impact on indirect (e.g., trade union) representation. We will also critically evaluate current developments in employee relations in the UK, with a particular focus on employee wellbeing.
