Course Descriptions BSc Administration (Human Resource Management option)
OHRM 303: Human Behaviour in Organisations
The most important aspects of organisations are the people: the men and women who make up management as well as the work force. The aim of this course is to provide a systematic understanding of organisational life as created by the human beings in the firm. Students will be encouraged to understand issues such as group dynamics, individual differences, values and perceptions, organisational politics as well as interpersonal interactions.

OHRM 304: Introduction to Human Resource Management

This is an introductory course which exposes students to the preliminary principles of human resource management. The course covers the functional areas of human resource management, recruitment training, development, performance, compensation, resignations and retirement. It serves as a prerequisite for the other more advanced courses in HRM.

OHRM 305: Labour Law

This course is a focused examination of the labour law in Ghana, past, present, and future considerations. It presents students with a critical understanding of the labour laws and how organizations can ensure that they stay with the law.

UGBS 401: Company Law

Organisations function within a specific legal environment, which seeks to regulate the compliances of the socio-economic aspirations of the country in which the firm is set up. Company law therefore exposes students to the laws and statutes to which organisations must abide. It covers issues such as the source of the company law in Ghana, the purposes of matters such as meetings and resolutions.

UGBS 402: Business Policy

This course deals with the whole area of strategy and strategic management. It develops the ability to examine the business environment, consider the threats and opportunities and how to come up with policies which will enable the business to survive, grow and expand. Key to this course is a consideration of how the business can formulate functional policies for each area of its operation.

OHRM 402: Industrial Relations

This course examines the contractual aspects of human resource management. It deals with the issue of union-management relations and considers the environment in which industrial relations takes place. It looks at the issue of strikes, collective bargaining and negotiations and presents the theories and traditions which have historically influenced labour relations: Marxist/ Radical theory, Pluralist and Unitary perspectives.

OHRM 404: Manpower Planning

This course is intended to expose students to the intersection of human resource management with corporate strategy. It seeks to bring the practice of people management into the thinking of top management because the success or failure of the enterprise is directly linked to key human resource activities such as recruitment, training and compensation. This course will therefore deal with how to plan to have staffing at acceptable levels, with the right skills and mix and the appropriate strategies to maintain staff.
