1.1 Key Information

Module title: Managing People

Module Leader: Nadia deGama

Campus / Building / Room: Cambridge - / Lord Ashcroft Building / 3rd floor

Extension: 5697

Email: [email protected]

Module Tutors: Peter Elsmore

External Examiners DAP: Human Resources & Organisational Behaviour

Every module has a Module Definition Form (MDF) which is the officially validated record of the module.

You can access the MDF for this module in three ways via:

the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

the My.Anglia Module Catalogue at www.anglia.ac.uk/modulecatalogue

Anglia Ruskin’s module search engine facility at www.anglia.ac.uk/modules

All modules delivered by Anglia Ruskin University at its main campuses in the UK and at Associate Colleges

throughout the UK and overseas are governed by the Academic Regulations. You can view these at

www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs. An extract of the Academic Regulations, known as the Assessment

Regulations, is available at this website too (all new students will have received a printed copy as part of

their welcome pack).

In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the Academic Regulations and any other publication,

including this module guide, the Academic Regulations, as the definitive document, take precedence over all

other publications and will be applied in all cases.

1.2 Introduction to the Module

This module introduces future business leaders to the latest research and debates on the relationship

between competitive strategy and human resource management. Particular attention will be paid to the

rapid transformation of the relationship between firms and people. In this spirit, we will consider challenges

and opportunities presented by the spread of alternative forms to traditional work organization such as

virtual organisations, outsourcing and subcontracting, and the rise of labour market intermediaries.

Module Guide

The module will also provide students with practical, analytic tools that will help them to think strategically

about how work can be organized and individuals and communities motivated (and de-motivated).

Specifically, we will explore ways in which better management of workplace communities can deliver

sustainable competitive advantage through recruiting and selection, development, work reorganisation,

incentives and rewards, and the like. To do so, we will consider a range of competitive strategies, their links

to specific practices in and beyond the workplace, and the critical issues on which the success or failure of

these strategies depends.

Students will be given the opportunity to put themselves in the position of organisational leaders facing

major human resource challenges through the extensive discussion of business cases.

1.3 Learning Outcomes

This module, like all modules at Anglia Ruskin, is taught on the basis of achieving intended learning

outcomes. On successful completion of the module, the student will be expected to be able to demonstrate

the following:

Knowledge and understanding

Intellectual, practical, affective

and transferable skills

LO 1. critically analyse the emergent role that leaders play in the

management of people in 21st century organizations.

LO 2. evaluate, compare and contrast major theories in the field of

Human Resource Management.

LO 3. apply these theories in the analysis of companies, both

diagnosing problems and proposing solutions to challenges related to

the management of people.

LO 4. utilise acceptable written and oral expression for professional and

business contexts.

The assessment is based on meeting these learning outcomes, shown explicitly in section 4, where the

assessment task is linked to these learning outcomes.

assignment contributes will be capped at 40%. You are requested to keep a copy of your work (excluding

exams). You are requested to keep a copy of your work (excluding exams).

Feedback

You are entitled to feedback on your performance for all your assessed work. For all assessment tasks which

are not examinations, this is accomplished by a member of academic staff providing your mark and

associated comments which will relate to the achievement of the module’s intended learning outcomes and

the assessment criteria you were given for the task when it was first issued. This feedback will be available

on-line via Turnitin/Grademark® or may be sent directly to your Anglia Ruskin e-mail account.

The marker of your assignment will include feedback on written assignments that includes answers to these

three key questions:

1. What is your overall feedback?

2. How does your assignment compare to the marking criteria?

3. How can you improve in the future?

Examination scripts are retained by Anglia Ruskin and are not returned to students. However, you are

entitled to feedback on your performance in an examination and may request a meeting with the Module

Leader or Tutor to see your examination script and to discuss your performance.

Anglia Ruskin is committed to providing you with feedback on all assessed work within 20 working days of

the submission deadline or the date of an examination. This is extended to 30 days for feedback for a Major

Project module (please note that working days excludes those days when Anglia Ruskin University is officially

closed; e.g.: between Christmas and New Year). Personal tutors will offer to read feedback from several

modules and help you to address any common themes that may be emerging.

On occasion, you will receive feedback and marks for pieces of work that you completed in the earlier stages

of the module. We provide you with this feedback as part of the learning experience and to help you

prepare for other assessment tasks that you have still to complete. It is important to note that, in these

cases, the marks for these pieces of work are unconfirmed. This means that, potentially, marks can change,

in either direction!

Marks for modules and individual pieces of work become confirmed on the Dates for the Official Publication

of Results which can be checked at www.anglia.ac.uk/results.

Assessment Offences: As an academic community, we recognise that the principles of truth, honesty and

mutual respect are central to the pursuit of knowledge. Behaviour that undermines those principles weakens

the community, both individually and collectively, and diminishes our values. There is more information on

these principles and the types of Assessment Offences here: http://www.anglia.ac.uk/modguide4.aspx

Penalties for poor academic practice can be severe so ensure you are aware of what is expected and how to

reference correctly.
