In this course, we look at a variety of different human
resource theories and styles. We also look at the different kinds of
perspectives on ethical issues and how they fit into HRM. You are required to
write a paper on a HRM topic. You will choose the topic you are most interested
in. Choose a topic, and expand on it.
Some examples are given below, but it is
recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or
you have thought about previously. Of necessity, the instructions for this
assignment are somewhat vague. Each student will have to explore different
resources and will need to develop an individual approach to the subject.
Identify, specifically, the strengths of your
topic and what some weaknesses are. Drawing on various sources, explain the
details of your topic. Assume I know nothing about this topic and share your
research on it with me. Why is it important? What have you learned? What are
the Pro’s and Con’s? When would this be used? What is the history on this
topic?
Requirement: Using the terms, concepts, and
theories learned in this course, write a 5 to 7 page (Arial or Times New Roman
12 pitch font with double-spaced lines) essay focusing on one specific Human
Resource topic that we have studied over the past 7 weeks. You must also
include a title page and reference page. The 5-7 pages do not include the title
page/reference page.
