About this unit
This unit consolidates previous studies of management and human resource management to consider contemporary workplace issues and the future of work. Driven by trends such as globalisation, digitisation, automation and artificial intelligence, the nature of work has changed substantially. This unit examines the practical and ethical implications of these changes for employees, managers, organisations and broader society. It will prepare students for identifying the impacts of these challenges as well as planning and implementing effective organisational change. It also offers students the opportunity to work on real-world problems as experienced in industry..
