HRM539 Managing People in Small Business (8)
Abstract|
In many small businesses the success of staff in their roles is closely linked to the successful performance of the business. An efficient and effective staff can provide a small business with a distinct competitive advantage. This subject introduces students to the roles and functions of managing staff and provides tools on how to manage, appraise and reward staff. The ethical, moral and legal obligations of managing staff are also examined. Students will be required to link these key concepts with their own small business setting. |
