SYLLABUS

COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to HR 710, Human Resource Decision Making with HRIS. I am pleased to instruct you in this course, which will be a core course for the Masters Degree in Human Resources Management.

This is an exciting course that will examine the nature of decisions and the decision making process. Decision making is a critical activity in the daily lives of managers. The decisions a manager faces can range from very simple, routine matters, to new and complex decisions that require creative solutions. As with all management skills, decision making can be developed. The techniques in this course will help you to make the best decisions possible with the information you have available. With these tools you will be able to map out the likely consequences of decisions and choose the best course of action to take.
