HR Information Systems

  • Overview and classification of software systems in HR Management (HR information systems and e-HRM-systems), including underlying technologies and architectures
  • Fundamentals of requirements engineering in the form of concepts, processes, methods and artefacts (e.g. user stories, use-case-diagrams, requirement and functional specification, functional and non-functional software requirements, evaluations)
  • Procedure models and fundamental principles of software engineering (e.g. waterfall model, agile methods)
  • Fundamentals of the modelling of software performance (e.g. process modelling with business process modelling language, BPMN) and software design/architecture (e.g. domain- class diagrams of UML and entity-relationship modelling)
  • Requirements analysis and evaluation for the introduction of HR information systems based on examples and usage scenarios (e.g. with the method of qualitative weight and sum)
  • Exemplary functional configurations and application of selected HR information systems

Learning outcome

After successful completion of the course, the students can

  • explain the possibilities and challenges of the use of information systems in HR Management
  • classify HR information systems and research and evaluate them in the light of cases of application
  • explain processes to determine and specify the requirements for information systems and apply them case-relatedly in connection with HR information systems
  • explain fundamental concepts and processes of software engineering
  • explain and apply selected techniques for the modelling of software performance and software design/architecture
  • configure and use selected HR information systems in connection with cases of application
