You will be expected to present information and evidence from, and cite, at least twelve relevant peer reviewed journal articles. These don’t include other academic references such as conference papers, books and book chapters and so on. Although you can cite these other academic references in your report, they will not be counted as part of the 12 journal articles. Refer to your recommended readings for examples of academic journals. The quality and number of citations will show the depth and breadth of the literature used to support your arguments. Your marker is interested in the analysis that you have developed from YOUR review of the literature and how well you use the literature to discuss the given topic.

This case study assignment should contain a coherent, but necessarily restricted review of the academic literature on HRM topics in question. The literature review should be integrated into the assignment and not be a separate section. A reference list formatted in the prescribed APA is compulsory. This assignment involves researching your assigned topic to improve your understanding of and utilization of academic literature. Whilst you should AVOID using only textbook, the prescribed textbook for the course should be cited in regard to broad HRM principles.
