Class International Human Resources Management

The IHRM UC stems from the fact that all organizations develop their activity in a global context, thus having to prepare their senior staff both for the idiosyncrasies of each organization, and for the cultural context in which the activity will be developed.

IHRM's intervention area is associated with the development of the company's international business plan and covers both the structuring of an international management policy and practice for the usual areas of intervention - recruitment and selection, career plan, training, compensation management and benefits, among others - as well as the analysis and definition of the phase of the expatriation cycle.

It is thus an essential unit of the study cycle, as it allows knowledge of the objectives, strategies, practices and specificities of people management in a different cultural context.
