Key Requirements
Select an industry context
First, select an industry of interest to you. You can examine any industry sector or sub-sector. I highly recommend you select an industry that you have worked in or are familiar with as you will be required to provide real-world examples to illustrate your understanding of key concepts. If you have limited work experience, you can refer to case studies for practical examples.
For instance, international students working in a café or restaurant may select the Australian food sector. Or, if you have worked overseas previously you may select your previous industry and national context – e.g. UAE construction industry, textile industry in India, or tourism in Italy. You may focus specifically on the industry in the national context in which you experienced it, or you may take a
oader, international view (not specify a country).
Provide a short summary of the key features of your selected industry in the assignment.
Select one or two employment topics
We cover many employment topics throughout the semester. Select one or two of these topics FROM THE LIST BELOW which you will examine within your industry context:
· Industrial relations/ role of government
· Equity and diversity
· Unions and employer associations
· Health and safety
· Recruitment and selection
· Learning and development
· Employee performance
· Reward management
For instance, you may investigate reward and performance management in the Australian fast food industry. Or you may explore industrial relations in the shipping industry. You can be more specific within the topic, e.g. examining suicide and depression (as part of health and safety) in Australian mining industry, or pay inequity (as part of equity and diversity) more generally among CEOs in the USA.
I have given you the option of selecting one or two employment topics. You may be particularly passionate about one topic that you want to cover intensely. Or you may prefer to cover two topics in less depth. It’s up to you.
Once you have made your selection – provide a
ief definition and summary of your topic/s in the assignment. I suggest you
owse through the relevant lecture slides for examples of key theory and discussion relevant to your topic.
Integrate your industry and topics
Now you have identified and summarised your industry and topic/s, draw them together and identify why this is an important area to research. Outline the key issues you will be covering in the second assignment, drawing on scholarly literature.
Referencing
In this assignment you will incorporate a small number of scholarly citations that will be referenced using APA 6th referencing style – See the Assessment folder on L@G for more details. If you have another prefe
ed style (e.g. Harvard) – that’s fine, please note it on the assessment at the beginning of the Reference List and use it consistently.
Presentation
EHR701 Assessment Guidelines
You will be marked on your presentation. Please use a basic essay structure – Title, introduction, body and conclusion followed by a reference list. Pay attention to writing style, spelling, grammar, font type and size (I suggest Times New Roman/ Arial/ Cali
i 12 point).
