The overall scenario for Assessment 2 is that you are the HR Manager of a company that has been selected to work in partnership with the HRM course for the entire semester. Your Chief Executive Officer has asked you to write a report focused on one out of the two major issues that the company is currently facing. Therefore, this second task will be framed around real challenges identified by the industry partner.
Two sessions will be organised to discuss further, directly with the company, the two issues selected for the assessment.
The first one is the “Company Tour”, where students have the opportunity to understand the corporate culture, the nature of the issues that the company is facing, and what has been done so far to address these issues.
The second session is the lecture that the manager will conduct for the HRM course, and which will be directly linked to the compan/s issues. During this guest lecture, a Q&A time will be allocated for students.
In your report, you are required to do the following:
3. Undertake a literature review (additional research) on key HRM theories and models relating to the chosen topic, and explain what the characteristics of effective professional HRM practices should be. Identify and support your findings by referencing academic literature (at least 10 peer-reviewed references), including quality textbooks and/or journal articles of relevance.

Academic integrity and plagiarism
Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
You should take extreme care that you have:
• acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods
• provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary – this includes material taken from Internet sites.
If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own.
