Task Description:

You are required to identify an organisation on which to base a case study (i.e. a case study or an organisation that you are well acquainted with).

Choose an HRM function in the selected organisation on which to base your analysis. Record a 10-minute audio-visual presentation which provides: 

• A brief introduction of the selected organisation and an overview of the selected HR function with linkages to relevant theory and practice covered in the module;   

• A critical analysis of the external and internal environments of the organisation and discuss how these impact the selected HR function.

• A critical discussion about whether the current organisation’s responses in the context of the selected HR function are either appropriate or not appropriate.
• With connection to the theory covered in the module, a suite of recommended actions to support appropriate initiatives in the context of the selected HR function that respond to the external and internal environment analyses.

• A clearly articulated analysis on how the current theories/people management principles may or may not adequately address the identified challenges for the selected HR function.   

You are required to read widely in the academic literature and, if appropriate, material found in trade journals and other sector-specific sources. At minimum, 10 high-quality academic resources need to be used. You will be encouraged to critically appraise traditional thinking and theory relating to people management practice in line with the organisation’s context.   

You need to record a 10-minute audio-visual presentation using your preferred application (e.g., Zoom, Skype, PowerPoint, etc).

Task Description:

Part 1:

Students are to form groups of 3 individuals by the end of Week 6 and complete the following assessment task:

You will undertake a literature review based on a statement provided by your Unit Coordinator/Tutor during semester.

Do you agree or disagree with your chosen statement? Critically evaluate your chosen statement and develop an argument as to what you believe should be the case based on your evaluation. Your argument should be based on evidence from the literature and theory rather than based on opinion.

You are required to widely read peer-reviewed academic literature for this assignment. It is recommended that at least 15-20 academic references be used for this assignment. The group component of this assignment is worth 30% of your total marks for this unit.

Part 2:

The remaining 10% component of this assignment will be assessed for each individual member of the group separately. To assess the individual contribution to the group work, group members are required to write a self-reflection report (500 words maximum) to discuss how they have collaborated and contributed to the group activity.
