Capstone Applied Project

This course parallels the Special Projects: Applied Human Resource Capstone HRCM1-GC4400 in that it will consist of an intensive exploration of the applied aspect of human resource strategy. This course requires students to identify and work on an organizational project in an organization that they are currently a part of or in an organization that has given approval for the capstone project. The course work will be completed under the supervision of the instructor and the organizational sponsor. Students are expected to establish objectives, plan their strategy, and then make the required decisions dictated by these plans. Typical decision variables involve wages, replacing employees, hiring, promoting from within, training cost for promotions, fringe benefits, budget for other activities, safety, employee participation programs, grievances, human resources information systems, performance appraisal programs, affirmative action program, production levels, overtime, employee morale, turnover, and absenteeism
