Description / Requirements

This research assignment requires you as students to evaluate and critique the readings contain in the first five topics of this unit study, and answer the following three questions:

1) What is the strategic role of HRM within the context of multinational companies (MNCs) operating in the global environment? (see Readings in Topics 1 & 3)

2) How would cultural and institutional differences between home and host country impact on the design and development of global HRM policies and practices for MNCs? (reference to the readings in Topics 2 &3)

3) If the context really matters, MNC's subsidiaries operating in different countries would have to choose different global HRM policies and practices to be in line with their particular country context. Would different global staffing and performance management approaches adopted by the MNC impact on its different cohorts of employees? (reference to the readings in Topics 4 & 5)

In addressing the-above questions you may like to further draw on authoritative sources to support your arguments and analysis, apart from the readings provided on the unit CloudDeakin site. What counts as ‘authoritative' are peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly texts and research books, mainstream media, employer associations, trade unions, and public institutions with an interest in the management of labour or the regulation of workplace relations globally. You should not offer personal opinions or rely on personal experience. Nor should you refer to internet blogs, vanity sites and similar, recognisable by their having no legitimacy in representation and no authority accountable to public, political or academic review.

Please also note the following:
- Adhere to the word limit of your research essay within 3000 words (plus or minus 10%, exclusive of the reference section). Any assignment content over or below the limit will not be examined.
- There is no requirement or recommendation as to the number of maximum sources that should be cited. However, as a common rule of thumb, a minimum of citing at least 10 references (about 10 readings contained in the first five topics) is required to write an essay of 3000 words.
- This is NOT a group assignment.
