Transcript for Business and Human Resource Management at Lancaster

Our programme aims to introduce and explore the fundamental issues and concepts in the field of Human Resource Management. Including the nature of work, the meaning of work, and the changing phenomenon of employee relations, within the historical context of organisational development.

The main reason I think a student would choose this programme is because we are a small department, we have a smaller cohort, which means we will know you from day one, and we could because we're able to, you're not just a number to us. You are a human being, and we will find out what you're good at and we will try to help you to become the one you want to be. And yes, provide support all the way along.

So my degree has enhanced my knowledge and critical thinking specifically because we get a lot of reading to do and we get to discuss it with other people and you get to hear other people's opinions on the same subject, which really, you know, gives you the opportunity to understand where other like different opinions come from.

I think I've become a lot more confident, definitely. I've become more confident to speak out to big groups of people. And in seminars, obviously smaller groups, I've been able to express my opinions a lot more confidently than before. So in that way, I think I've become developed in that sense.

So my future ambition is to really take what I've learned from the university and my own culture and, you know, really make an impact wherever I'll be with the people, with the organisation and with anyone who is involved, basically in any project that I'm involved with.

If you're interested in how people are managed, and how this policy and practice is being developed by employers, and the rationales behind it, then will be the right degree for you.

You will be introduced to key theories and practices that define management, exploring how they influence decision-making in all sectors of human activity. Management is not just about control and rational decisions based on established models. It is about solving problems, leading people, and navigating complex organisations. Additionally, it involves understanding change and uncertainty, as well as power, politics, and human behaviour.

How do managers tackle difficult decisions, prioritise competing demands, and respond to unexpected challenges?

Foundations of Accounting and Finance

This introductory module is your gateway to mastering three essential areas in business: financial accounting, management accounting, and managerial finance

In financial accounting, you will learn to craft and understand how to prepare financial statements for external stakeholders such as investors, creditors and regulators.

In management accounting, you will explore the preparation of financial information for reporting to internal stakeholders such as managers or executives and discover how tailored financial information is used to inform managers’ and executives’ planning, decision-making and control of business activities.

In the area of finance, you will study financial markets and the process of managing money, investments and other financial resources. You will also learn how firms budget, borrow and invest for the future.

Foundations of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

This module will equip you with a unique set of knowledge and skills essential for becoming a successful manager or entrepreneur. You will explore how to generate innovative business ideas and create or co-create new products, services or even organisations. Employers are increasingly seeking candidates who can make these kinds of innovative and entrepreneurial contributions in the workplace.

We will introduce you to the core concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation, providing a global perspective on their history, challenges, and relevance. You will practice identifying opportunities, pitching ideas, and creating returns on both financial and social investments through an entrepreneurial challenge that will help integrate your learning from other modules. As a result, you will develop the ability to think and act entrepreneurially in diverse organisational settings.

In your second year, you will take five core modules and choose one optional module.

You will be introduced to practices such as psychometric personality testing, as well as various motivation techniques. You will also explore new forms of control and how work changed from something we do, to who and what we are.

We will examine how managers and management practices shape the meaning and identity of employees using corporate culture, workspaces and work environments, humour and emotions to align individuals with organisational goals.

In this module, you will explore some of the key ethical challenges that businesses and management face today. Engaging in lively debates, you will discuss the responsibilities of corporations towards both local and global societies.

Using contemporary examples and recent theoretical developments, you will examine the ethics of global production and consumption.

Through a critical and reflective approach, this module will develop your appreciation of the ethical implications of management and its impact on people, society, and the planet.

Human Resource Management: Managing Our Working Lives

Success in every organisation is driven by its people, and Human Resource Management (HRM) is the process that shapes how we work, grow, and succeed. This module goes beyond HR policies and paperwork. We will explore how HRM actively influences our working lives, various workplace cultures, and our perceptions of identity and work itself.

You will explore why HRM plays a crucial role in shaping employability and recruitment, performance management, and personal development across all sectors. But HRM isn’t just about policies; it’s about people. You will examine how companies attract talent, keep employees motivated, and navigate the challenges of both human and digital work.

Whether you aspire to lead a team, foster a creative workplace, or specialise in HR, this module will challenge you to think critically about people, performance and purpose in modern organisations.

performance management

This practical experience will help you to consider what it means to be a human resource manager today and provide insights into how you will be managed in the workplace.

Research Methods for Business and Management

You will develop the skills to conduct effective research and gather solid evidence for decision-making. Managers are increasingly being called upon to use academic evidence and more sophisticated organisational data in their decision-making. We will explore various methods for collecting high-quality data, which can serve as evidence for academic work and management decision-making.

You will develop key transferable skills and knowledge that will be beneficial for placement project work, dissertation planning and execution, and management and consultancy work after your degree. Using different social research approaches and methods you will learn how to gather and analyse your own primary data or use secondary data to build a solid evidence base.

Management in International Businesses and Organisations

In this module, you will explore the key concerns and strategies of managers in international businesses. Through various examples, you will study the complexities of managing these enterprises, ranging from global manufacturing companies to international service providers. You will explore how international businesses affect economies and societies. By the end of this module, you will gain a clearer understanding of how to manage global operations and the intricate networks that support the production and delivery of goods and services worldwide.

shaping organisational culture

analysing system successes and failures

navigating the ethical dimensions of information technology

addressing digital inclusion and exclusion

Using interactive case studies and key readings, you will dissect complex technological challenges facing contemporary organisations. You will learn to identify crucial technological developments, evaluate the consequences of implementing new systems, and develop appropriate management responses. This module will sharpen your critical and analytical skills, enhancing your understanding of key theories and practices for navigating the digital age.

Global Business Knowledge and Mindset

Boost your CV by gaining international experience and earn credits towards your degree. You study abroad at a summer school at a partner university between your first and second year.

You will gain subject-specific business knowledge and experience studying in a different country and culture. You can choose from a wide selection of partner universities based on where you want to study and the subjects offered.

Some of your assessment will take place at the partner university. You will also write a reflective essay after you return to help you articulate what you have learnt during your time abroad. This will help you to link your experiences to employability for future interviews.

To complete your experience, you will participate in an online project during the semester, working with an international team of students. This project will help you develop a global mindset and build your communication skills as you work in a cross-cultural team, participating in a business game where you will complete challenges related to the global Sustainable Development Goals.

In your third year, you will take five core modules and choose one optional module.

Managing People and Change

Organisational change is a defining feature of modern life. It can be disruptive but also creative, affecting how organisations reproduce, stabilise and evolve themselves and their environment. You will explore key concepts related to approaches to change, particularly those at the individual and group level. You will focus on managing people and change in an increasingly technologically mediated world. Additionally, you will develop informed opinions about change theories, helping you understand and implement change through negotiating dynamic interactions between people.

Contemporary Perspectives on Work and Human Resources

You will develop an informed, critical and current understanding of how people management is undertaken in organisations and the implications this has for all stakeholders. Whether you aspire to be a human resources professional in your future career or a manager in some capacity, you are likely to be managed in some way.

The module provides a solid foundation for evaluating different approaches to managing people and their potential impacts. You will gain a critical understanding of the appropriateness of these approaches in different contexts. To build this understanding, we will explore several current themes including flexible working and work-life balance, health and wellbeing in the workplace, and managing careers.

Managing People Globally

In this module, you will learn about managing people in international businesses. You will explore how cultural differences, regulations, and employee expectations are experienced and managed when companies operate across international borders. By examining examples from various sectors, including manufacturing and professional services, you will gain insights into the design, implementation, and impact of different people management strategies. Additionally, you will examine how different groups experience human resource management practices and develop an understanding of the importance of diversity and inclusion.

Work and Employment Relations in the Global Economy

It is important to consider work and employment issues in their international dimensions. This module will examine how globalisation shapes the way people work in around the world. We will examine the rise of precarious and non-standard work in the gig economy and engage in debates around who has responsibility for workers and working conditions in global supply chains. We will consider how power and inequality influence work and employment relations across different sectors, regions, and job types.

You will develop critical thinking skills as you explore the future of work and working lives, employee rights, and the importance of worker voices in the workplace. We will also discuss how we can advocate for decent and fair work worldwide.

Capstone Project

This project is an opportunity for you to draw on the knowledge you have gained through your course and apply it to a key problem or issue linked to your field of study. It serves as the culmination of your learning experience, enabling you to demonstrate the skills you have developed.

Global Sustainable Development

Can global sustainable development be effectively managed? If so, who should be responsible for it?

The UN Sustainable Development Goals represent the most recent effort to balance environmental, social, and economic priorities in a world experiencing rapid change in both ecological and material conditions. You will explore various perspectives and positions regarding sustainable development: what it is, how it is distributed, what it could become, and what kind of sustainability we can realistically achieve.

We will examine how businesses and management interact with nature, while critically assessing the political, ecological, social, and economic interconnections and their implications. Through comparative analyses, case studies, and reflective inquiries, you will develop the ability to think critically, establish connections, and take meaningful action toward creating sustainable futures.

Power, Technology and Society

This module critically examines the relationship between technology, power, and society. You will challenge the conventional view of technology as a neutral force, exploring its profound impact on work, organising, and social inequalities, including those related to gender, race, disability, and coloniality. You will investigate the complex interaction between technological development and societal structures.

You will learn to analyse dominant narratives surrounding technology, examining diverse perspectives. A key focus will be on developing your ability to critically examine the discourses and applications of technology. This will encourage you to question your own assumptions and those of others.

By the end of the module, you will gain tools to contextualise how technology is discussed, deployed, and experienced within contemporary organisations and society.

Technological Futures

You will learn how to think about the role of technology in shaping futures for organisations and societies. You will explore how different potential futures can be imagined, understood, predicted, and brought into being. You will also examine how values, beliefs, and morals are built into technological futures and how they can mirror or contribute to the perpetuation of increasing inequalities.

This topic is particularly important as emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology, are rapidly transforming the way we live, work, and interact, particularly in a context of environmental and political instability. The lectures and workshops will be interactive, multi-modal, and practical, featuring a variety of exercises based on design studio principles. These activities will help you understand and employ different ways of thinking about technological futures.
