Business Administration - Human Resources Concentration

The world economy is clearly changing. The majority of organizations today are in the business of providing services. The list is endless: information technology, communication, financial, medical, education, food and entertainment, consulting Today more than ever, the viability and true value of a business is determined less by its investment in facilities, equipment, and inventory, but by the value-added of its employees. Companies that employ better workers, and manage them better, are more successful. That means that the effective management of human resources is more critical than it has ever been. The field of human resource management focuses on just that – effectively developing and managing the organization's most valuable asset – its people.
