Module Aims
The module aims to provide students the opportunity to identify and review the external and contextual factors affecting sporting organisations, and to access the impact of these factors on the HR function. It will examine HR’s role in sport strategy formation and implementation in both national and international contexts; enabling students to explore and understand institutional differences across domestic and international settings, and of internal and external differences.
The module is designed to encourage students to adopt a critical perspective of these contexts and to provide workable organisational and HR solutions; drawing on tools and techniques covered in previous modules (such as Environmental Analysis) to address them.
The module will encourage students to challenge institutional norms most notably in the areas of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
