Particular attention is paid to topics where finance and HR intersect (cost benefit analysis of HR initiatives, selection of financial measures to serve as bonus drivers, alternative models for valuing employee stock options, financial and accounting aspects of pensions and other post retirement benefits).

HR Decision Making: Data-Based Decisions

This course addresses research design methodology and addresses basic statistics through regression analysis. It will enable students to compile and analyze data that can be used in developing, implementing, and measuring the outcome of HR strategy.
