Exam – 3 hours 50% TBA TEACHING APPROACH Off Campus Students Off Campus students are expected to read all weekly study guides provided on Moodle, read the in" rel="nofollow">indicated chapters of the prescribed textbook, work through the readin" rel="nofollow">ing list and complete all of the assessments. Off campus students are also expected to work in" rel="nofollow">independently through the study materials on Moodle, undertake the tutorial activities provided on Moodle, contribute to the discussion forums and complete all assessments (NOTE: Off campus students in" rel="nofollow">in this unit should not submit their responses to the learnin" rel="nofollow">ing activities. Only assessable activities are to be submitted). When testin" rel="nofollow">ing your understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the material, use the Learnin" rel="nofollow">ing Objectives as a guide. Your responses to each Learnin" rel="nofollow">ing Objective can be used as the basis of your exam preparation. This process will also help you identify those areas where you may need to do some further readin" rel="nofollow">ing for clarification. This unit is valued at 6 poin" rel="nofollow">ints and requires 12 hours study each week. The total time commitment expected from students in" rel="nofollow">in this unit is 156 hours. This in" rel="nofollow">includes time spent in" rel="nofollow">in preparin" rel="nofollow">ing for and completin" rel="nofollow">ing assessment tasks, and time spent in" rel="nofollow">in general study, revision, and examin" rel="nofollow">ination preparation.

To present a quality assignment for this assessment piece it is strongly suggested that you follow the below directions: TOPIC SELECTION Choose one of the topic areas from the list below, and then choose one specific aspect or issue within" rel="nofollow">in that topic. This is a min" rel="nofollow">inor assignment and the word limit is 1500 words so your analysis must necessarily be selective. That is why it is suggested that you focus on one aspect only of the broader topic area. In this assignment you are encouraged to explore one small topic area in" rel="nofollow">in great depth and detail, as opposed to explorin" rel="nofollow">ing a larger topic area in" rel="nofollow">in a general or superficial way. For example, within" rel="nofollow">in the broader topic of Small Busin" rel="nofollow">iness HRM you might look at Recruitment issues for Small Busin" rel="nofollow">inesses, or, under the topic of Attraction and Retention you might focus on retain" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing older workers durin" rel="nofollow">ing a skills shortage, or, under the topic of Diversity you could explore managin" rel="nofollow">ing employee diversity in" rel="nofollow">in performance appraisals. Note that when decidin" rel="nofollow">ing on your specific topic, you will need to ensure that you stay focused on HRM, not broader areas of management more generally. Please compare the theory in" rel="nofollow">in the journal articles with practical comments and reports, probably in" rel="nofollow">in other media. An example could be outsourcin" rel="nofollow">ing, with journal articles bein" rel="nofollow">ing compared to newspaper or in" rel="nofollow">industry reports on e.g. Bonds clothin" rel="nofollow">ing manufacturin" rel="nofollow">ing, closin" rel="nofollow">ing Australian production. Given this is an Australian based unit, it is preferable that you choose an issue that is relevant to the Australian HRM environment. This does not mean that the literature you use has to be restricted to Australian sources, but that the topic itself should be relevant to Australian HRM. Once you have conducted some in" rel="nofollow">initial research on your selected topic to ensure that enough suitable references can be found on the topic, post your topic title on the Moodle Discussion Board under ‘Assignment One topics’ so your tutor can review the suitability of your topic. You will be contacted directly if there are concerns over your topic selection. TOPICS Select one of the broader topic areas below, then choose any one specific aspect or issue within" rel="nofollow">in that topic: ? Legal Issues in" rel="nofollow">in HRM ? Small Busin" rel="nofollow">iness HRM ? Attraction and Retention ? Global HRM ? HRM Frameworks ? Diversity in" rel="nofollow">in the workplace ? Work/Life Balance Copyright © Monash University 2013. All rights reserved. Except as provided in" rel="nofollow">in the Copyright Act 1968, this work may not be reproduced in" rel="nofollow">in any form without the written permission of the host Faculty and School/Department. 5 RESEARCHING YOUR TOPIC Once you have selected your topic you will need to research and read widely on and around your topic area. As an absolute min" rel="nofollow">inimum, you are expected to use and cite at least three(3) academic journal articles and three(3) practical in" rel="nofollow">industry reports in" rel="nofollow">in your literature review. Refer to page 25 of the Q Manual for guidance on determin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing if an article is ‘academic’. The unit readin" rel="nofollow">ing list is a good startin" rel="nofollow">ing poin" rel="nofollow">int for your research. Chapter 3 of the Q Manual provides strategies on conductin" rel="nofollow">ing research that will be useful too. Other academic literature can also be used and cited in" rel="nofollow">in your literature, in" rel="nofollow">in addition to the three academic journal articles. Other suitable academic literature might in" rel="nofollow">include: monographs (books), selected chapter/s from edited books, conference proceedin" rel="nofollow">ings, empirical studies (usually reported in" rel="nofollow">in journal articles and books), government reports, reputable newspaper articles and reports from other major bodies, historical records and statistical in" rel="nofollow">information. Use of textbooks should be kept to a min" rel="nofollow">inimum. Undertakin" rel="nofollow">ing your research for this assignment will take time and should not be left to the last min" rel="nofollow">inute. You will benefit from commencin" rel="nofollow">ing your research early in" rel="nofollow">in the semester. WRITING YOUR LITERATURE REVIEW Your literature review is to be a scholarly paper that surveys and critically reports on the academic literature in" rel="nofollow">in your chosen topic area. As you read through the research on your topic, you need to thin" rel="nofollow">ink critically about each piece of writin" rel="nofollow">ing, considerin" rel="nofollow">ing what that piece of writin" rel="nofollow">ing contributes to our knowledge on the topic, lookin" rel="nofollow">ing for evidence that supports and/or challenges current views on the topic. Any limitations, gaps or future research directions on the topic should also be identified. You then need to brin" rel="nofollow">ing this critical analysis of the literature together in" rel="nofollow">into a cohesive literature review that blends and in" rel="nofollow">integrates the ideas of the key authors on the topic, so that the reader of your literature is left fully in" rel="nofollow">informed about the current literature on your chosen topic. Note that a literature review does not describe one article in" rel="nofollow">in one paragraph, then another article in" rel="nofollow">in the next paragraph. A literature draws a range of authors’ perspectives together, comparin" rel="nofollow">ing and contrastin" rel="nofollow">ing different authors and in" rel="nofollow">integratin" rel="nofollow">ing different ideas. More in" rel="nofollow">information on how to write a literature review is provided in" rel="nofollow">in Chapter 6 of the Student Q Manual. It is imperative that you read this chapter before commencin" rel="nofollow">ing work on this assignment. FORMAT This assignment is to be presented in" rel="nofollow">in essay format. It will need to in" rel="nofollow">include an Introduction, Body and Conclusion (headin" rel="nofollow">ings are optional) and be written in" rel="nofollow">in sentences and paragraphs (no dot poin" rel="nofollow">ints or lists). Please review Chapter 5 of the Q Manual for more in" rel="nofollow">information on writin" rel="nofollow">ing an essay. UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS As a startin" rel="nofollow">ing poin" rel="nofollow">int, after readin" rel="nofollow">ing through this assignment in" rel="nofollow">information, it is strongly recommended you then read through Chapter 6 of the Q Manual to familiarise yourself with the expectations of a literature review. MARKING CRITERIA To present a quality essay for this assignment, it is suggested that you carefully review the markin" rel="nofollow">ing criteria identified on the ‘Marker’s assessment and feedback sheet’ for assignment one, a copy of which is provided in" rel="nofollow">in this unit outlin" rel="nofollow">ine.

All rights reserved. Except as provided in" rel="nofollow">in the Copyright Act 1968, this work may not be reproduced in" rel="nofollow">in any form without the written permission of the host Faculty and School/Department. 7 Assessment task 2: HRM Report Due date: End of Week 10 (7th October, 2016) Prepare a report in" rel="nofollow">in which you explore and evaluate ways that HR activities can be applied to reduce employee related costs (preferably without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers). To present a quality assignment for this assessment piece it is strongly suggested that you follow the below directions: 1. Choose a (real-life) organisation that you are familiar with or in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in to base your report on. Gather publically available material about the organisation by reviewin" rel="nofollow">ing its website and annual report. Check that the organisation you select has enough publically available data for you to gain" rel="nofollow">in an understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the company’s mission and objectives and their approach to HRM. Please note your report must rely only on publically available in" rel="nofollow">information for this assignment. Do not use in" rel="nofollow">information gathered from private contacts or personal experience. The unit does not have ethical clearance for this. Also consider and research the environment the organisation operates in" rel="nofollow">in. Is the organisation facin" rel="nofollow">ing a skills shortage? Does it operate within" rel="nofollow">in restrictive legal/government constrain" rel="nofollow">ints? Is the organisation (or its competitors) downsizin" rel="nofollow">ing or expandin" rel="nofollow">ing? Reviewin" rel="nofollow">ing newspaper articles on the organisation and in" rel="nofollow">industry journals will help in" rel="nofollow">in this area. 2. Assume the Company's CEO has given the HRM department the directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers’. 3. Choose two or three HR activities, defin" rel="nofollow">ine them and critically discuss with reference to academic literature and your chosen organisation. 4. Explore and evaluate how those HR activities could be applied in" rel="nofollow">in your chosen organisation to achieve the CEO's assumed directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers’. This means you need to examin" rel="nofollow">ine evidence for and again" rel="nofollow">inst the view that these HR activities can meet the CEO’s assumed directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers’. You might choose to focus your evaluation on the entire organisation, on specific groups of employees (eg; Gen Y employees, older employees, people with family responsibilities, etc), or on specific departments within" rel="nofollow">in the organisation (eg; retail staff, the Engin" rel="nofollow">ineerin" rel="nofollow">ing department, the Australian head office, etc). You must specify this (the scope of your report) within" rel="nofollow">in the report’s in" rel="nofollow">introduction. 5. Based on your evaluation as outlin" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in poin" rel="nofollow">int 4, make recommendations to the organisation on how HR activities can be applied to result in" rel="nofollow">in ‘reduce employee related costs without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers’.

Critical evaluation of application of [HR activities] to ‘reduce employee related costs without cuttin" rel="nofollow">ing staff numbers’. 3. Conclusion 4. Recommendations Reference List Appendices (if any) RESEARCHING YOUR TOPIC As with the first assignment, you will need to research widely to complete this assignment. This takes time and should not be left to the last min" rel="nofollow">inute. As an absolute min" rel="nofollow">inimum, you are expected to use and cite at least six (6) academic journal articles in" rel="nofollow">in your report. Refer to page 25 of the Q Manual for guidance on determin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing if an article is ‘academic’. The unit readin" rel="nofollow">ing list is a good startin" rel="nofollow">ing poin" rel="nofollow">int for your research. Chapter 3 of the Q Manual provides strategies on conductin" rel="nofollow">ing research that will be useful too. As with the first assignment, other types of literature should also be researched and used in" rel="nofollow">in preparin" rel="nofollow">ing this report, such as monographs (books), selected chapter/s from edited books, conference proceedin" rel="nofollow">ings, empirical studies (usually reported in" rel="nofollow">in journal articles and books), government reports and reports from other major bodies, historical records and statistical in" rel="nofollow">information. Use of textbooks should be kept to a min" rel="nofollow">inimum. WRITING YOUR REPORT Your report needs to be written critically. This means your report must offer a critical analysis of your chosen HR activities that in" rel="nofollow">incorporates various viewpoin" rel="nofollow">ints about the usefulness/relevance/importance of the activities. For example, from your review of the academic literature, is there agreement that your chosen HR activities would be useful for reducin" rel="nofollow">ing employee related costs? What do other sources say? Is there agreement on the implications of the activities for HRM? It is not enough to just describe what other people have written about the HR activities. You need to demonstrate you have thought about and analysed and considered what people have written about the HR activities. In other words, you need to demonstrate through your writin" rel="nofollow">ing that you have thought critically about what you have read, rather than just accepted everythin" rel="nofollow">ing that is published as true and in" rel="nofollow">infallible. Your report should reflect a combin" rel="nofollow">ination of theory and practical application. It should clearly demonstrate thorough research on the organisation and the environment it operates in" rel="nofollow">in, the theoretical aspects of HRM and an analysis and evaluation of HR activities that would lead to suitable recommendations to meet the CEO’s assumed directive.

The quality of your writin" rel="nofollow">ing is determin" rel="nofollow">ined by the credibility and authority of the sources you cite/reference. It is imperative that you read widely. However, you need to be aware of the credibility of all material you use. For example: while newspaper and busin" rel="nofollow">iness journals and magazin" rel="nofollow">ines report events and comment on a variety of management issues, the ‘facts’ may be reported selectively and their accuracy questionable as their purpose is to sell. Such sources are, therefore, useful to illustrate poin" rel="nofollow">ints or provide examples in" rel="nofollow">in your writin" rel="nofollow">ing but should not be used as substitutes for peer refereed academic work. Books There are a range of textbooks and research monographs that deal with a variety of areas of management, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing Human Resource Management, in" rel="nofollow">in the Monash libraries – some of which have been cited in" rel="nofollow">in the Unit Book. None are more highly recommended than others. Journals It is expected that students will become familiar with the relevant journals in" rel="nofollow">in the university serials collection. Keep in" rel="nofollow">in min" rel="nofollow">ind that many journals are available on-lin" rel="nofollow">ine through the Monash University Library website at http://www.lib.monash.edu.au.
