I really enjoyed this course! The lecture videos were so easy to follow and the professors gave excellent examples to help understand all the material. I will definitely be bringing all of this knowledge further with me, both in life but also in my future career. The quizzes helped me test my knowledge and was extremely helpful! I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in both business but also the human side which comes along with running and managing a company.

Super interesting!

Excellent course.Well Designed course by experienced faculty at Penn. If you are a new comer to this field i insist you to take this course it will help you a lot. As in managing social and human capital the most important this is understanding the mindset behind the people why they are working with you, why they will work hard for your organisation, will there be any benefit to them if they work hard for you. You will learn hell lot of things. About managing social and human capital.

Thank you so much to Professor Peter Cappelli and Professor Mike Useem for the knowledge that's been shared in this course. I'd say it's absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend this to anyone who would like to get a glimpse of what managing human and social capital is like. It's simple, understandable, and nothing too complicated. Thank you to the whole Coursera team too for the opportunity to join this course! I look forward to joining other courses offered.

I found this course enlightening because it has basically agreed with the ideology I have been recommending my previous managers to implement. I believe many companies tend to forget that people have emotions and overwrite their opinions in any matter that affects the company. I believe, as it has been said, every employee is a crucial element of the business.

Beautiful course. And I loved the examples the presenters used.

Pretty good course. A little bit too much on the academic side (similar to other courses in this specialization). The reason this is a problem is that this course is supposed to be able to be taken by individuals with no previous business experience. High level business concepts and terminology at times will confuse lay people. All in all a good course though, many insightful stories. Strategic intent... amazing concept.

Excelente curso sobre um dos aspectos mais desafiadores para gerentes e diretores em geral, a administração de recursos humanos. O curso explica de forma simples e acessível teorias que administradores poderão aplicar no dia a dia e indica materiais para leitura para aprofundar o conhecimento. Além das aulas o curso tem um resumo em PDF que facilita para ajudar a estudar ou para ser usado como material de consulta.

This was a new subject for me and I learned a lot of decision making, strong teams, organizational culture, employee motivation, and more. And the material was presented in an organized manner (thank you!) with an academic but inquisitive tone. I feel like I was part of something bigger than my local colleges. Awesome!! I would gladly take this course again and recommend to friends and colleagues.

I really enjoyed, very interesting topics and examples that made very easy to bring the content of the course to the current organizational reality and day to day world at work. I felt that this course was not only designed for people that are already in management positions, but also for those, like me, that wish to growth and become an effective and fair manager in the near future.

Practical examples and easy to follow and understand.

I am a manager in government so a bit of a different application where we are not driven by sales, but still applicable to team design, motivation and most certainly in change with Org. Architecture. Influencing multiple layers in this regard is a skill needed in the facet of managing or encouraging change within government.

This was my first academic exposure to HR management and I found the course to be a good overview of the largely pursued subject. The content is not exhaustive and could have covered a few more case studies to give different perspectives on the same subject matter. I would recommend this course for any newcomer to the field of HR management as a motivational introduction.

This is an essential component for any MBA. You will be managing people and they are the second most costly asset. I would like to see a deeper dive in phycology and a broader view of compensation. With it being consolidated, it doesn't give you quite enough. I will be taking another deeper dive in another course online to full-fill this need.

This was an amazing learning experience for me and especially the case studies helped a lot in order to develop insights and deepening the learning paradigms. Thank you so much for this course and also for the financial aid through which I was able to obtain a certificate as well. I'm highly grateful for your kind support and graciousness.

I personally found this course effective as a student seeking to gain an insight into the field of Human Resource Management as the professors have been able to cover all the necessary topics through interesting ways by the use of videos and examples. This has indeed made my learning experience a more meaningful and fruitful one!!

Both the professors were amazing in their delivery of content! The content was brief but very relevant to the course, the examples and case studies discussed were also really good! One of the best online courses I've taken till date. Although I'd wish there was some more content/assignment in the form of case studies etc.

This course provides a great insight into the basics of efficient management of Human capital - as humans/people are the only factor of production with legal rights so management of human resources becomes a vital issue along with social norms attached to it.

All in all, a very good course to build a foundation.

Professor Capelli and Professor Useem laid out a very stimulating conversation through the lectures. Things that I learned will stay with me forever. Learning from real life examples made more sense. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an quick guidance to Managing Social and Human Capital.

This course very essentials and important for me, it is hone my leadership view and mindset. The course contains proven practical research that I found this is very applicable in real-life challenges. All the case that taught in this course really relevant with leadership and business world.

Amazing course regarding how to lead people, developing traits, and how our decision-making process has an impact on those we lead. The best topic that I liked was regarding the training - in companion with the marines - of Wharton students to make decisions with little information.

I have the mind of an architect, so managing people has always been a challenge for me. This module armed me with concepts that are based on science, yet can be applied to human capital. I know have the tools to better balance the art and the science and the head and the heart.

Thank you so much for this course! I truly enjoyed myself and came to learn a lot from it; I would like to especially appreciate the use of so many practical examples that truly assisted my learning and I will highly recommend this course to many of my colleagues.

This was a really succinct course to help jump-start dealing with people in orgs regardless of level of mgt. For myself, I will use it to as a corporate trainer to help assess, motivate and generate confidence in my decision-making abilities among my students.

It was a very interesting course. Much of what you learn is about fix capital but organizations are constitute of people whose actions are not as rational as we sometimes thought. Understand the ways in which you can lead organizational change is a key element.

This course was one of the most useful courses I have ever completed. The content is well presented and supported. It is taught in a manner that allows you to use these tools to develop managers and to improve your own skills in communication and leadership.

It was a well structured course. The professors and their explanations plus the materials used to explain the theory were simple yet powerful. I wished some of the slides were more clear, it was hard to see specially the charts.I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Incredibly well paced course with very engaging professors and material. I was very impressed with the clarity of discussed topics and frequency at which new material was presented - without becoming overwhelming. Taking this course was a pleasure.
