This course introduces students to the key concepts in AI. The course will introduce key concepts and computing techniques in machine Learning and equip HR managers with the vocabulary and understanding to interact with the technology function in their organisations.
Good HR communication provides timely and reliable information, builds employee relations and trust, and helps employees succeed by enhancing their motivation, productivity, and well-being. This course guides students to develop communication skills that are essential for human resource professionals to not only fulfil transactional, functional HR roles but also to effectively support strategic business objectives. Cases of challenging scenarios of HR communication and experiential activities will be used to facilitate learning and skill development.
This course provides students with a comprehensive exploration of how technology can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Human Resources (HR) function, culminating in an optimal “Talent Experience”. By seamlessly integrating theoretical knowledge with practical insights, students will gain a profound understanding of the transformative impact of contemporary HR technologies. As a fundamental and mandatory component of this course, students will engage with case studies and receive presentations from esteemed subject matter experts specialising in HR Technology.
In this course, we will bring you to the cutting edge of how people can be organised using analytics, the foundation of (re-)designing and improving organisations.
The suite of new ideas characterising People Analytics represents a significant departure from the traditional views of and stereotypes about human resource practices- those that treat incentive compensation and reporting as the primary decisions; that rely on long-standing traditions, hear-say, and gut-instincts; and that highlight “copy best practice” approach to building the boxes and arrows of organisational charts. The new approaches bring scientific understanding and methods into improving the management of people and are enabled by a combination of theoretical advances and the increased availability of computational power and data as a result of digitalisation.
This course introduces a diverse set of tools to facilitate your Perception (i.e. what is happening among people in the organisation now), Prediction (i.e. what is likely to happen in the future, based on sophisticated extrapolation of past data) and Prototyping (i.e. what is likely to work based on pilot tests).
We will rely on a combination of lecture, case discussion, and hands-on group exercises, as well as guest speakers to help bridge techniques and their application in practice.
Management and human resource practitioners often need to use, or interpret data that result from, research methods tools and techniques for a variety of organisational issues, such as recruitment and selection, performance assessment and evaluation, identifying high potential candidates for promotion, assessing the effectiveness of training and development programmes, and so on.

Application of statistical methods to problems in human resources. Analysis and presentation of results using computer software. Covers statistical techniques through analysis of variance and multiple regression.
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Talent Management (TM). It challenges students to critically think about, discuss, and evaluate the complexities of managing talents within and beyond organisations. It reviews cutting-edge TM models and frameworks, as well as current ideas and practices in attracting, developing, and retaining people. It seeks to deepen students’ ability and competency to apply TM knowledge to resolve real-life TM-related issues. It further considers human capital from a strategic perspective, as a means of creating a high-performance workforce for firms’ sustainable competitive advantage. At the end of the course, students should possess a better understanding of people, processes, and organisations and how they relate to each other in an open system.
