The need has never been greater for business leaders who can contribute to the knowledge base of contemporary business by making strategically adroit linkages between theory and practice. Learners gain the skills to meet that need through rigorous reflection on their professional experiences, in-depth exposure to the insights offered by the world's leading organizations, review of classic and cutting edge theory and research, and mastery of methods and techniques to identify, assess, understand and communicate strategically critical knowledge. Throughout history the challenge to managers has been to manage the organization's human resources to achieve peaceful, productive and profitable organizational outcomes. This specialization studies the interrelationships between human resources and the business organization, equipping the manager to function as a HRM specialist in business, industry, and service organizations.
