Abstract

Managing Human Capital, a second-year elective course at Harvard Business School, seeks to create business leaders who understand human resources practices essential to firm performance and who think strategically about managing their own careers. This Managing Human Capital course is integrative, practice-based, and consists of two segments: Managing Organizational Human Capital (MOHC) and Managing Your Human Capital (MYHC), each of which includes several modules. The first segment, taught from the general manager's perspective, examines how to structure and adjust an organization's basic human capital levers to achieve superior results. The second segment takes the vantage point of the individual and addresses critical career choices. This note is for the sole purpose of aiding classroom instructors in teaching the Managing Human Capital course.
