This module is designed to critically explore the meaning and nature of digital HRM in both organisations and the HR profession today.
The module will examine the development and evolution of emerging digital HRM technologies. In doing so students will unpack the complexities associated with definitional terms and key digital HRM tools, including the growth of AI applications. Through the use of real-life global case studies student will explore practical ways and potential challenges associated with implementing digital HRM strategies and tools.
In accordance with the EBS tradition for sustainable and ethical business practices a key focus of the module is to explore the ethical and regulatory issues associated with the application of data science techniques and technologies in the management of people. These issues will be foregrounded when examining how data collected through digital tools is used and applied for decision making in organisations today. In doing so students are encouraged to think critically about dominant discourses that are proclaiming the benefits of digital HRM solutions for organisational and employee productivity today
