The Effects of Human Resource Management Decisions: An Experiential Exercise

KEYWORDS: HRM, i-deals, hiring, teams

We draw on theories of human resource management (HRM) and team literature to show the long-term costs and benefits of using employee specific customized work arrangements (i-deals), hiring, and firing decisions and their implications for the entire workgroup. Through excel-based analyses we attempt to explain the effects of human resource management decisions on employees and the organization. We believe our analytical approach will leave a lasting impression on the students and shape their management style in future.
