Gigin Pulickathara Joseph
Italy MSc International Human Resource Management and Comparative Industrial Relations
“The unique opportunity to study International Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations using a comparative approach is what really draw my attention to the course. In fact, this is something that is not available for most of the MSc courses in HRM. Also, I was very much intrigued by the fact that IHRM is the central focus of the programme and not just one of the modules. I chose AMBS because it is widely recognized for its quality of teaching. It provides a global exposure that is key in today’s international work environment, and the prestigious ‘triple-crown’ accreditation is a proof of that.”

Arjan Keizer
Senior Director MSc International Human Resource Management and Comparative Industrial Relations
“The unit I teach on ‘Multinationals and Comparative Employment Systems’ contends that employment is shaped by a wide range of factors. The course argues that an awareness of these issues is crucial to a deep understanding of current issues in human resource management (HRM) and industrial relations globally."

Programme Director MSc Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, MSc International Human Resource Management and Comparative Industrial Relations
“I see human resource management as a vessel for unleashing the true human potential and although the discipline has been around for decades, it has largely been studied and implemented from a Western lens. The philosophy behind my teaching is helping our students to take a critical yet practical approach to how HRM policies and practices, which are predominantly designed in the West, can be applied to diverse institutional and cultural contexts. To this end, my teaching is based on interactive exchanges which help students to reflect on theory through their own rich experiences, case studies and podcasts with industry professionals with the aim of making HRM systems work for both employees and organizations.”
