Markin" rel="nofollow">ing criteria (see detailed criteria in" rel="nofollow">in assessment guidelin" rel="nofollow">ines on blackboard): Critical evaluation and theoretical underpin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing (50%) Reflective analysis (25%) Structure/presentation/language (25%) the follow is the requirement about the two choices. Content: The essay question is designed to encourage you to engage deeper with the convergence and divergence debate. 1. the first assessment concentrated primarily on national differences and how these result in" rel="nofollow">in divergent approaches to HRM, the essay question encourages you to consider more fully both sides of the debate and make your evaluation, usin" rel="nofollow">ing evidence from a chosen country. As we have stated before, differences in" rel="nofollow">in culture and in" rel="nofollow">institutions result in" rel="nofollow">in divergent approaches to HRM across different national contexts. 2. Despite this, there is evidence that in" rel="nofollow">indicates that globalisation and in" rel="nofollow">increased in" rel="nofollow">interconnectivity has resulted in" rel="nofollow">in firms adoptin" rel="nofollow">ing what they see as global ‘best practices’ (supports the convergence perspective). Hence usin" rel="nofollow">ing a country of your choice and based on your own critical evaluation, we would like you to engage in" rel="nofollow">in this debate. While we ask you to choose one country, you are not limited to one HRM practice.
