MBA-Managing the Human Resource assignment

Order Description

Assignment Task
As part of the formal assessment for the Master of Business Administration you are required to submit a Managing the Human Resource assignment.

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING :

Utilising examples from a minimum of two organisations, critically evaluate the impact of contemporary HR practices on organisational development. These practices may include areas such as talent management, employee engagement and use of technology.

There is a word limit of 2000 words for part one
Marking Scheme
Answers will be marked in accordance with the following scheme (marks available for each element are shown in brackets):

1. Underpinning knowledge – demonstrates understanding of relevant concepts, approaches and theoretical frameworks in relation to HRM. Information gathered and used is valid, relevant and of masters level quality. All sources have a HR focus, with a strong academic underpinning.

2. Application of knowledge – knowledge and evidence is applied to the organisation in an appropriate way that demonstrates understanding of the organisation and its context. Therefore, all knowledge will be integrated and not presented in isolation to the case
3. Critical analysis– shows capacity for objective review and critical evaluation. Uses information and underpinning knowledge to provide a balanced critique of relative strengths and weaknesses and to justify choices and decisions. Develops coherent and justified arguments and conclusions. Information will not be presented in a narrative or descriptive manner.

Your answer must be based around the information from an organisation but discussions should be critical and underpinned by relevant referenced sources. You should also ensure that your answer includes appropriate HRM academic thinking and that this is also properly referenced.

The Harvard Style of referencing is required for all academic assignments.

Guidelines:
You MUST underpin your analysis and evaluation of the key issues with appropriate and wide ranging academic research and ensure this is referenced using the Harvard system. The My Study Skills Area contains the following useful resources; Study Skills Guide (containing a Harvard Referencing section) and a Harvard Referencing Interactive Tutorial. You must use the Harvard Referencing method in your assignment.

Where assessment questions have been reprinted from the assessment brief these will also be excluded from the word count. ALL other printed words ARE included in the word count.
