Introduction
The functions and principles of Management have been undergoing a sea change since the announcement of liberalisation in the country 1991. In fact, the practice of management has been increasingly humanised in the process of globalisation of Indian economy unlike in personnel management. The concept of human resource management (HRM) is increasingly becoming a most vital function of a modern manager. Human resource takes active role in the modern economic scenario of any country. The abundant physical resource alone cannot benefit the growth of the country without human resource component, which transform physical resource into productive resources. In fact, the differences in the level of economic development of the countries are large reflection of the differences in quality of their human resources. The key element in this proposition is that the values, attitudes, general orientation and quality of people of a country that determines its economic development. Out of the fundamental areas of management, HRM is adjudged as the most important area. In the management four Ms, Money, Materials, Machines and Men, it is needless to be labour the obvious point that, considering the nature of man, the management of men is not only fundamental but also dynamic and challenging. Management of human resource includes guiding human resource into a dynamic organisation that attains its objectives with a high degree of morale and to the satisfaction of those conferenced with it.

The concept of Human Resource Development (HRD) assumes immense importance as HRD plays vital role in meeting the challenging requirements of highly skilled and competent human resources due to globalisation. Further, maintenance of industrial peace plays a vital role, as Indian economy cannot afford industrial unrest in the context of global competition. Human Resource plays a crucial role in the development process of modern economics. Arthur Lewis observed there are great differences in development between countries which seem to have roughly equal resources, so it is necessary to enquire into the difference of human behaviour. It is often felt that, though the exploitation of natural resources, availability of physical and financial resources and international aid play prominent roles in the growth of modern economies, none of these factors is more significant than efficient and committed manpower. It is, in fact said that all development comes from the human mind. This module teaches us how mangers and organization change agents put personal feeling aside, avoid anger, and resolve conflicts. Intensified completion among domestic private and public sector companies and multinational companies consequent upon globalisation, along with the changed demographic factors like increase in women employee, aging population, shortage of talent employee and adapted of mind set and attitude of the people changed the systems and structures of human resource management function and placed it at strategic level in the organizational hierarchy. In order to achieve the learning outcomes, it is expected that will devote around 120 hours to work on the module. This includes class
AURO UNIVERSITY
attendance, weekly reading and self-study exercises, course work assignments and examination revision.
Methodology: Presentations Lectures Simulations and games Case Analysis and Discussion Learning Diary Group Discussions Seminars Workshops Individual and Group Assignments
Each week you will be expected to attend lecture, seminar/workshop, presentation of topics assigned and also participate in group discussions. You would also complete a set of self-study exercises.
Organizing Principles & Values

In designing the course, its content, and operating procedures, we have tried to adhere to a number of basic beliefs and values that are worth making explicit: 1. Responsibility: The students in the course are responsible, both individually and collectively, in large measure for what goes on both in the classroom and outside of class. The quality of class discussion depends on all of you coming to class prepared to
AURO UNIVERSITY
discuss the issues raised by the material. Learning depends on your reading and mastery of the material. What you learn from your group project depends on the effort you and your colleagues expend and what you do to apply the course concepts. I will do my utmost to facilitate the learning process, but in the end, what you gain from the course is up to you.
2. Implementing the Principles We Are Learning: We have tried to organize and run the course in ways consistent with the ideas we are teaching. These include an emphasis on teams, mutual trust and respect, and information sharing. So, we will engage in 360 degree performance evaluation. We will do a lot of the course work in groups/teams, including a project that counts for one-half the grade. And, in the everyday interactions that occur in the course, we should strive to treat each other with respect and trust. 3. Fun: The material is interesting and engaging, and learning should be fun. We will do a number of things, including using video material, stimulating debate, and relying on your insights and examples to make the course enjoyable.
Coverage & Depth

This module is about focusing the practical application that all mangers need to manage their HR-related responsibilities. Nowadays companies are looking at the HR professional to hire talent and retain
AURO UNIVERSITY
the new hires. HR mangers are expected to go beyond hiring and retaining talent. Theyre expected to perform and contribute to organisations bottom-line. No more are the HR departments just cost centres and no more are HR professionals sitting in the corners pushing and shuffling statuary files and records. They are expected to become strategist, act as change agent and play the roles of organisational transformation lists. HR managers are the creators of an organisational infrastructure that impacts employees, customers, line managers and investors. This module would help the student to act as a change agent, in future when they become managers and entrepreneurs. The module would cover the following topics:

Human Resource Management Human Resource Development Recruitment and Selection and Induction Performance Counselling Appraisal & Potential Appraisal & Performance

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Topic Overview
Globalization means more competition and more competition means more pressure to lower costs and to make employees more productive and quality conscious. Human Resource Management is the process of acquiring, training appraising and compensating employees, and of attending to their labour relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns. There is more emphasis on knowledge work and therefore on building human capital the knowledge, education, training skills and expertise of firms employees. Workforce and demographic changes mean that the workforce is becoming older and more diverse. It is often felt that, though the exploitation of natural resources, availability of physical and financial resources and international aid play prominent roles in the growth of modern economies, none of these factors is more significant than efficient and committed manpower. It is, in fact said that all development comes from the human mind.

Jennifer Carter graduated from State University in June 2005, and after considering several job offers, decided to do what she always planned to do go into business with her father, Jack Carter. Jack Carter opened his first Laundromat in 1995 and his second in 1998. The main attraction of these coin laundry businesses for him was that they were capital rather than labour intensive. Thus, once the investment in machinery was made, the stores could be run with just one unskilled attendant and none of the labour problems one normally expects from being in the retail service business. The attractiveness of operating with virtually no skilled labour notwithstanding, Jack had decided by 1999 to expand the services in each of his stores to include the dry cleaning and pressing of clothes. He embarked in other words, on a strategy of related diversification by adding new services that were related to and consistent with his existing coin laundry activates. He added these for several reasons. He wanted to better utilize the unused space in the larger stores he currently had under lease. Furthermore, he was, as he put it, tired of sending out the dry cleaning and pressing work that came in from our coin laundry clients to a dry cleaner 5 miles away who then took most of what should have been our profits. To reflect the new, expanded line of services, he renamed sufficiently satisfied with their performance to open four more of the same type of stores over the next 5years. Each store had its own on site manager, and on average about seven employees and annual revenues of about $500,000. It was this 6-store chain that Jennifer joined after graduating. Her understanding with her father was that she would serve as a trouble-shooter/consultant to the elder Carter with the aim of both learning the business and bringing to it modern management concepts and techniques for solving the businesss problems and facilitating its growth.

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION & INDUCTION
Topic Overview
International competition, the rapidly growing size and complexity of organisations, the changing values, career concerns and structure of workforce- all these and a number of other factors have made the traditional approach to personnel management obsolete. The current trend demands a more comprehensive, more strategic perspective to recruit, utilize and conserve valuable human resources. Selection of HR to man to organisation is a crucial, complex and continuing function. The ability of the organisation to attain its goal effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends on the effectiveness of its selection programme. If right personnel are selected the remaining functions of personnel management becomes easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at optimum level and employee-employer relations will be congenial. Introducing the new employee who is designated to the job, job location, surroundings, organisation, organisational surroundings, and various employees would be the final step of employment process.

Case Study- 2
The Hotel Paris Case Case Study: The Hotel Paris Case
The New Recruitment Process The Hotel Pariss competitive strategy is To use superior guest service to differentiate the Hotel Paris properties, and to thereby increase the length of stay and return rate of guests, and thus boost revenues and profitability. HR manger Lisa Cruz must now formulate functional policies and activities that support this competitive strategy by eliciting the required employee behaviours and competencies
AURO UNIVERSITY
As a long time HR professional, Lisa Cruz was well aware of the importance of effective employee recruitment. If the Hotel Paris didnt get enough applicants, it could not be selective about who to hire. And, if it could not be selective about who to hire, it wasnt likely that the hotels would enjoy the customer oriented employee behaviours that the companys strategy relied on. She was therefore disappointed to discover that Hotel Paris was paying virtually no attention to the job of recruiting prospective employees. Individual hotel mangers slapped together help wanted ads when they had positions to fill, and no one in the chain had any measurable idea of how many recruits these ads were producing, or which recruiting approaches worked the best. Lisa knew that it was time to step back and get control of the Hotel Pariss recruitment function. As they received the details of the Hotel Pariss current recruitment practices. Lisa Cruz and the firms CFO became increasingly concerned. What they found basically was that the recruitment function was unmanaged, totally. The previous HR director had simply allowed the responsibility for recruiting to remain with each separate hotel, and the hotel mangers, not being human resource professionals , usually took the path of the least resistance when a job became available, such as by placing help wanted ads in their local papers. There was no sense of direction from the Hotel Paris; headquarters regarding what sorts of applications the company preferred, what media and alternative source soft recruits its managers should use, no online recruiting and no measurement at all of recruitment process effectiveness. The company ignored the recruitment source metrics that other firms used effectively, such as number of qualified applicants per position, percentage of jobs filled from within, the offer to acceptance ratio. Acceptance by recruiting source turnover by recruiting source and section test results NY recruiting source. It was safe to say that achieving the Hotel Paris strategic aims depended on the quality of the people that it attracted to and then selected for employment at the firm. What we want are employees who will put our guests first, who will use initiative to see that our guests are satisfied, and who will work tirelessly to provide our guests
AURO UNIVERSITY
with services that exceed their expectations said the CFO. Lisa and the CFO both knew this process had to start with better recruiting. The CFO gave her green light to design a new recruitment process. Questions 1. Given the hotels stated employee preferences, what recruiting sources you suggest they use and why? 2. What would a Hotel Paris help wanted ad look like? 3. How would you suggest they measure the effectiveness of their recruiting efforts?

WEEK 4 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL & POTENTIAL APPRAISAL & PERFORMANCE COUNSELLING

AURO UNIVERSITY
Topic Overview Performance appraisal system is a process of evaluating work performance of the personnel so as to facilitate individual and organisational effectiveness. Performance appraisal system has always a dual objective, viz., and employee evaluation and employee development. Under HRD, the appraisal system lays greater emphasis on the development of the employees rather than on their evaluation. This objective is better fulfilled by the potential appraisal system which tells about an employees capabilities to successfully assume a new role in future following his promotion. Potential appraisal are required to informed employees about their future prospects, help the organization chalk out a suitable succession plan, update training efforts from time to time and advise employees about what they must do to improve their career prospects. Any organisation interested in using a good performance appraisal and review system that aims at developing employees has to practice and pay enough attention to performance counselling. It essentially focuses on the analysis of performance of the job and identification of training needs for further improvement. Learning Outcomes

WORKSHOPS Case Study- 3 Case Study: Appraising the Secretaries at Sweetwater U Rob Winchester, newly appointed vice president for administrative affairs at Sweetwater State University, faced a tough problem shortly after his university career began. 3 weeks he came on board in September, Sweet waters president, Rob boss , told Rob that one of his first task was to improve the appraisal system used to evaluate secretarial and clerical performance are Sweet water U. The main difficulty was that the performance appraisal was traditionally tied directly to salary increases given at the end of the year. Therefore, most administrators were less than accurate when they used the graphic rating forms that were the basis of the clerical staff evaluation. In fact, what usually happened was that each administrator simply
AURO UNIVERSITY
rated his or her clerk or secretary as excellent. This cleared the way for all support staff to receive a maximum pay increase every year. But the current university budget simply did not include nought money to fund another maximum annual increase for every staffer. Furthermore, Sweetwaters president felt that the custom of providing invalid feedback to each secretary on his or her years performance was not productive, so he had asked the new vice president to revise the system. In October, Rob sent a memo to all administrators, telling them that in the future no more than half the secretaries reporting to any particular administrator could be appraised a s excellent. This move, in effect, forced each supervisor to begin ranking his or her secretaries for quality of performance. The vice presidents memo me t wide spread resistance immediately from administrators , who were afraid that many of their secretaries would begin leaving for more lucrative jobs, and from secretaries, who felt that the new system was unfair, and reduced each secretarys chance of receiving a maximum salary increase. A handful of secretaries had begun quietly picketing outside, the presidents home on the university campus. The picketing, caustic remarks by disgruntled administrators and rumor of an impending slow down by the secretaries (there were about 250 on campus) made Rob Winchester wonder whether he had made the he right decision by setting up forced ranking. He knew, however that there were a few performance appraisal experts in the Scholl of business, so he decided to set up an appointment with them to discuss the matter. He met with them the next morning. He explained the situation as he had found it. The current appraisal system had beaten up when the university first opened 10 years earlier. A committee of secretaries had developed it. Under that system, Sweetwaters administrators filled out forms similar to the Graphic Rating Forms. This once-a-year appraisal (in March) had run into problems almost immediately, since it was apparent from the start that administrators varied widely in their interpretations of job standards, as well as in how conscientiously they filled out the forms and supervised their secretaries. Moreover, at the end of the first year it became obvious to everyone that each secretarys salary increase was tied directly to the March appraisal.,
AURO UNIVERSITY
For example, those rated excellent received the maximum increases, those rated good received only the standard across-the board costof-living increase. Since universities in general and Sweetwater, in particular- have paid secretaries somewhat lower salaries than those prevailing in private industry, some secretaries left in a huff that first year. From that time on, most administrators simply rated all secretaries excellent in order to reduce staff turnover, thus ensuring each a maximum increase. In the process, they also avoided the hard feelings aroused by the significant performance differences otherwise high lightened by administrators. Two Sweetwater experts agreed to consider the problem, and in 2 weeks they come back to the vice president with the full recommendations. First, the form used to rate the secretaries was grossly insufficient. It was unclear what excellent orquality of work, meant, for example. They recommended instead a form like the Graphic Rating Scale. In addition, they recommended that the vice president rescind his earlier memo a dno longer attempt to force university administrators to arbitrarily rate at least half their secretaries as something less than excellent. The two consultants pointed out that this was in fact, an unfair procedure since it was quite possible that any particular administrator might have staffers who were all or virtually all excellent- or conceivably , although less likely, all below standard. The experts said that the way to get all the administrators to take the appraisal process more seriously was to stop trying to salary increases. In other words they recommended that every administrator fill out a form that is the Graphic Rating Scale Form for each secretary at least once a year and then sue this forma as a basis of a counselling session. Salary increase would have to be made on some basis other than the performance appraisal, so that administrators would no longer hesitate to fill out the rating forms honestly. Rob thanked the 2 experts and went back to his office to ponder their recommendations. Some of the recommendations (such as substituting the new rating form for the old) seemed to make sense. Nevertheless, he still had serious doubts as to the efficacy of any graphic rating form, particularly compared with the original, preferred forced ranking
AURO UNIVERSITY
approach. The experts second recommendation to stop tying the appraisals to automatic salary problems. If salary increases were not to be based on performance appraisals, on what were hey to be based? He began wondering whether the experts recommendations werent simply based on ivory tower theorizing. Questions 1. Do you thing that the experts recommendations will be sufficient to get most of the administrators to fill out the rating forms properly? Why? Why not? What additional actions (if any) do you think will be necessary 2. Do you think that Vice President Winchester would be better off dropping graphic rating forms, substituting instead one of the other techniques we discussed in this chapter , such s ranking method? Why? 3. What PA system would you develop for the secretaries if you were Rob Winchester? Defend your answer

WEEK 5 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Topic Overview Vital in effective learning is spontaneous curiosity. Any training programme which fails to arouse the inquisitive spirit of learners, ultimately fails in conveying knowledge and
AURO UNIVERSITY
skills in true sense. Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behaviour. It is application of knowledge. Development is related process. It covers not only those activities which improve job performance but also those which bring about growth of the personality, helps individuals in the progress towards maturity and actualisation of their potential capacities so that they become not only good employees but better men and women. Education is the understanding and intervention of knowledge. It does not provide definitive answers, but rather it develops a logical and rational mind that can determine relationships among pertinent variables and thereby character and understand of basic principles and develop the capacities of analysis, synthesis and objectivity. Learning Outcomes
After studying this chapter, the students will learn the following topics: 1. To understand the meaning of training, development and education 2. What are the key objectives of training 3. What are the steps in training programmes 4. What is the Importance of training in an organisation 5. What are the different methods of training a. On the job b. Vestibule c.

Case Study 4: Reinventing the Wheel at Apex Door Company
Jim Delaney, president of Apex Door, has a problem. No matter how often he tells his employees how to do their jobs, they invariably decide to do it their way, as he puts it, and arguments ensue between, the employee, and the employees supervisor. One example is the for design department, where the designers are expected to work with the architects to design doors that meet the specifications. While its not rocket science, as Jim puts it, the designers invariably make mistakes such as designing in too much steel, a problem that can cost Apex tens of thousands of wasted dollars, once you consider the number of doors in, say 30-story office tower. The order processing department is another example. Jim has a very specific and detailed way he wants the order written up, but most of the order clerks dont understand how to use the multistage order from. They simply improvise when it comes to a detailed question such as whether to classify the customer as industrial or commercial. The current realign process is as follows... None of the jobs has a training manual per se, although several have somewhat out of date job descriptions. The training for new people is all on the job. Usually, the person leaving the company trains the new person during the 1 or 2 week overlap period, but if theres no overlap, the new person is trained as well as possible by other employees who have filled in occasionally on the job in the past. The training is the same throughout the company for machinist, sectaries, assemblers, engineers and accounting clerks for example.
