The assignment question reflects the core themes addressed during the ABP HRM module. The aim of the assignment is to
encourage students to combine theoretical and practical aspects of HRM by referring to organization case study examples when
assessing the core theories and themes in the HRM academic literature. In particular, students are expected to engage in
critical analysis of relevant HRM academic literature, from sources recommended below, in the module outline, at the end of
lecture slides, or sources derived from their own wider reading. It is not enough to rely on lecture notes or non-academic
internet sources.
SELECTONEMULTINATIONAL COMPANY CASE(with operations in its home country and at least one other foreign host country) with
which you are familiar – one that you can access relevant HRM information about(for example, one you have worked for, had an
internship in, an organisation familiar to family/friends, or that you have been able to find detailed information about in
journal articles, books, newspapers, internet). Or you can make up a fictitious multinational company case!
Building on our labour market planning/supply & demand exercise in session 3, imagine you are a senior human resources (HR
manager) responsible for HRM strategy in a multinational company in the following two contrasting scenarios:
a. In an economic boom (with strong economic growth), as a HR manager what HR strategy and practices would you pursue if
demand for workers in your company greatly exceeded supply of workers?
b. Conversely, in an economic crisis (e.g. deep recession like in 2008), as a HR manager what HR strategy and practices
would you pursue if supply of workers in your company greatly exceeded demand for workers?
In completing the assignment, you are expected to address the followingissues:
1. Strategy: firstly, briefly summarize the possible impact of the above two contrasting labour market/economicscenarios on
the multinational organisation’s overall business strategy and then its overall HR strategy.
2. HRM policies and practices: secondly, analyse the possible impact of the above two contrasting labour market scenarios on
the various specificcomponents of HRM policy and practice in the multinational organization under the four main HR functions
covered in the module: resourcing the organization, human resource development (HRD), employment relations, managing
performance and reward. The list of HR policies and practices that might be assessed under these four areas include: talent
management, recruitment and selection, organizational culture, training and development, employee voice and participation
rights, pay and reward, performance management and appraisal (these might be referred to by other labels).
3. Another theme to be discussed in your assignment is how different organizational, sector/industry, country, and
international contextual circumstancesmight influence the impact of the above two labour market scenarios on HRM policies
and practicein your multinational case company.
4. In conclusion, can youbriefly recommend any possible improvements in strategic HR management in your chosen
multinationalcase to better prepare for changes in labour market supply and demand relating to different economic cycles of
booms and crises?
