Academic Year 2015-2016
International Human Resource Management
Assessment 2
Assignment 2 is a case analysis of 3000 words (+/- 10%).
Your assignment is to produce a report based on an international HRM case study.
Report writing
Your assignment should be in a report style. Additional guidance on how to draft a report will be given in class.
Material covered in the sessions related to the topics for the assignment should be used as a starting point. Don’t simply restate what was covered in the lecture or what you have read in the literature. Develop an analysis of the key issues using appropriate academic and practitioner material to support points or to forward the case that you are presenting.
Simple statements of opinion or prescriptive assertions are not adequate to the task: you need to back up your arguments with evidence and examples, e.g. from other case or survey studies.
If you need any further guidance, including locating or identifying appropriate academic and practitioner material, please arrange to speak to your tutor.
Case Study: Tasty Foods
Your company, Tasty Foods, based in the UK, produces a range of ready-made meals using traditional British ingredients. You are considering taking your business into Europe to take advantage of an expanding market in this type of product.
Your company needs to recruit and select new international managers to take the business forward. Two managers will be based in Germany and two managers in France and will be responsible for acquiring new business for the company.
You have been asked by your senior manager to prepare a report that will enable the company to appoint, train and develop these new international managers. You have been told that the report must be based on current best practice and should contain appropriate academic and reputable HR practitioner material.
The areas that your manager specifically wants you to address are:
Recruitment and selection – how will you recruit and select the best managers for this international assignment?
Training and development – what training and development will the company give to the new managers to make them effective in their new appointments?
Performance and reward – what will be the most effective ways to manage and reward the performance of the new international managers?
Your report should include a brief executive summary (no more than one page) and a clear set of recommendations. The report template issued in class can be used to structure the report.
