1947. In August 1972, the Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally established, taking over the
campus and staff of the Hong Kong Technical College. The institution assumed full university

HR9615 Compensation: Con�ict and
Cooperation (20 credits)
This module will enable students to learn a critical and
practical approach towards the management of
employee rewards and the employment relationship. By

strategic role of employee rewards and how important
they are in the employment relationship. This will lead
students to understand that organisations and their
employees will often seek different rewards, sometimes
resulting in conflict. Students will be introduced to a
wide range of reward practices, both traditional and
modern, understanding how each of these may have
very different meanings for each side of the
employment relationship. They will learn the principles
and skills of negotiation and compromise, finding their
way to agreement through a complex mix of

bargaining.
