Indicative content

These elements to this assignment as follows:

Executive summary – provide a brief outline of the purpose of the assignment.

introduction: a brief overview of the selected sector for the last five years its developments and challenges & future needs: such as Globalisation, recession, advanced technologies consumer behaviour had an impact on the economy in the last five years then relate it to the industry selected.

L01: Critically evaluate the international business environment in the host country. You are required to present an analysis (max 600 words) using one of these models (1) PESTLE Analysis, (2) Porter’s Five forces or (3) Value Chain Analysis which will incorporate a brief overview of your chosen sector within the last five years of the sector selected. In addition a company profile of the selected company.
For this learning outcome we are asking you to provide a brief company profile of your selected company. The company can be located in any part of the world but it should be a multinational company, the purpose is to use the company as a business model for discussion. By examining the company’s profile, its aims, goals, international intentions you will be able to make a link between the HRM strategy & the overall business strategy. Establishing this link will help to identify gaps in actual employee performance over expected performance which will enable you to make your recommendations later in your report.

L.02 Evaluate the main HRM theories and models in relation to economic drivers

For this learning outcome we want you to explain the recruitment process within the company selected. You will not have access to detailed information here but by examining the company’s website including its “about us pages” “recruitment/vacancies” pages, its annual report & any other publicly available documents you should be able to gather sufficient information to identify what method of recruitment & selection the company uses ie online applications, handwritten cover letters, CV format, aptitude testing, etc. Gathering this research will help you to provide a brief explanation of its recruitment, training, reward & participation practices & strategies.

You can gain yet more information from reading any job descriptions and remuneration packages it might advertise either on its website or through recruitment agencies. When you have completed your research of the company’s recruitment process you will be able to analyse the information using HRM theories & models. Selection methods must be explained using model (Rodger’s seven point plan (1952) or Fraser’s fivefold grading (1954).Models available in Beardwell & Claydon, page 169

In this learning outcome we want you to build on your research and discuss the importance of training, what types of training are available (in-house, off job training for cultural reason etc).

In this learning outcome, again building on your research, we want you to analyse the theory of reward systems the implications and the concept of performance management, including performance appraisal frameworks for the individual performance, why we need to measure individual performance and outline the reasons. Your analysis can then be focused specifically on the organisation for recommendation purposes. Moreover we are expecting that you address these characteristics:

Analyse the organisational, national and cultural specific issues that influence the development and implementation of HRM strategy:
• National: (Host country) With a focus on a polycentric approach, identify organisational issues that influence the development and implementation of HRM strategies in the host country. (i.e what is the general mindset and working practices in the (selected sector) and how will this impact the need to recruit local staff to undertake the required roles.
