授業スケジュール Course Schedule
第1日（Day1）
Theme: A system’s perspective of HRMThe first class introduces students to a system’s perspective of HRM. HRM is never a standalone function of an organization; instead it is closely linked and interdependent with other organizational functions and features. When employees are not performing, should the blame be always put on HRM, or is it a signal of other organizational problems occurring? Students will conduct analysis and debates surrounding this question based on the chosen case.
