Many firms consider their employees to be their most important asset.
The effective management and utilization of that asset is increasingly recognized as critical to the long term value of an organization and ultimately to its survival in today's competitive and rapidly changing environment. Successful MBA students generally do not remain in entry level technical or analyst positions for long. If you envision your career as involving a management position, you will be responsible for HRM activities and the HRM minor will help prepare you for those duties. Even if you choose not to minor in HRM, consider taking one or more of these courses as free electives. The HRM minor area provides an excellent basis for acquiring some of the managerial knowledge and skills required for upward mobility in most organizations.
