Students in 'Human Resource and Industrial Relations Strategy' analyse the human resource and industrial relations strategies of the major employment relations stakeholders. While the principal focus is on the organisational level of analysis and on the strategic interventions introduced by management, the subject also analyses the strategic roles of government, trade unions, and employer associations. Through a range of learning activities, students examine the relationship between business strategies and HR/IR strategies, strategic HR/IR interventions, the concept of strategic choice as it concerns stakeholders and the evaluation of strategy. Students also engage with the development of human resource management and industrial relations as a professional field and consider ethics and professional standards.
