1. 2.      Examine how they approached their key HRM functions to facilitate the increase in demand or the growth.

 

1. 3.      Consider if there were global considerations for the business to take into account when reviewing their HRM function and roles and analyse how this impacted the firm’s overall strategy to be delivered by their people.

 

 

Within your analysis, you must provide a number of relevant, organisation-based examples, to support your theoretical arguments presented. These must be discussed and applied in the context of the assignment brief, and not just listed or referred to.  The assignment must have a wide and visible application to industry, through the application of appropriate organisational examples. Failure to apply relevant organisational examples could result in a failure within the module assessment.

 

Students should be aware that this assignment requires the integration of the major themes of the module. Student skills such as researching materials, analysing, synthesising and critically evaluating the application of theory in practice will be assessed.  A superior assignment will demonstrate relevant research skills, analysis and critical evaluation rather than just description.
