This course is intended to provide you the student with an understanding of Learning and Development as a field of practice, its history, and the major theories and paradigms that underpin the field. In addition we explore (a) current practices in learning and development of individuals and groups, including training needs analysis, instructional design and implementation, and the evaluation of training effectiveness, also (b) how the organisational environment impacts employee performance and the transferability of training, and well as the design and implementation of interventions that can impact that environment.A major portion of the course relates to the HRD process model of human resource development needs identification (HRDNI), training design, implementation and evaluation. Topics include:• Introduction and overview of learning and development• The adult learner and influences on employee behaviour• Framework for learning and development – HRD Process model• Learning and development at the individual and organisational level • Strategic learning and development• Organisational learning and knowledge management• Projected future trends for L&D, including differences within the Asia-Pacific regionRelationship to Other CoursesThis course is suggested for those students considering taking any human resources courses at post-graduate level. MGMT331 is also one of the core third year papers in the BCom majoring in Human Resource Management.Course WorkloadIn previous years MGMT331 students have commented that the workload required by the group project is relatively high and that the weighting assigned to this piece of assessment was too low. I have taken this feedback into account this year and have eliminated the in-class test and increased the weighting of the assignment. That said, the MGMT331 project is a substantial piece of work and one that would be unwise to leave to the last minute. Previous students have however commented that they learnt the most from the project. The estimated workload breakdown for MGMT331 is provided below: • Lecture/Tutorials 26 hours • Lecture/Tutorial Preparation 24 hours• Test Preparation 0 hours• Assignment 67 hours• Exam Preparation 30 hours• Final Examination 3 hours Total 150 hours
At the end of this course you should be able to demonstrate knowledge, comprehension, analysis, and application related to HRD. In particular students will demonstrate knowledge and comprehension outcomes through an understanding of:1. The origins and purpose of HRD, and how it is a major factor in international, national, educational, and organisational contexts;2. The individual employee as an adult learner and influences on employee behaviour;3. Key HRD issues at the individual employee level, including employee orientation and socialisation and mentoring and coaching.4. Key HRD issues at the organisational level and the importance of organisational learning and knowledge management.5. The range of interventions beyond training that may be required for optimum organisational and individual performance.6. Contemporary issues that impact HRD, such as e-learning, employee mobility, the challenges presented by a global workforce, HRD for the contingent workforce, and work-life balance.**The analysis and application outcome is to demonstrate the ability to design, implement, and evaluate an HRD intervention in an applied setting. This will be documented by a major semester project.
MGMT206 and MGMT207

Late submission of assignments will be NOT be accepted without the approval of the course coordinator. Late submission is granted at the discretion of the course coordinator only and each application will be evaluated on its merit. The following guideline will be strictly applied by the course coordinator:• If an assignment is submitted in the first three days after the close-off time, then it will have 10% of the maximum possible grade deducted, for every 24 hours after the due date. No assignments will be accepted beyond 72 hours after the close-off time. The only exception to the above is where formal special conditions are satisfied; (for details on special condition requirements, see the university website. Please note that a special consideration application must be submitted within seven days of the due date for the assessment.The marks for assessment work can be scaled before a final grade is determined. You should not regard a raw score of 50% as a pass mark.
