Task Description:

The primary purpose of this assessment is to enhance students’ research, analysis and referencing skills. The secondary purpose is to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their critical thinking and written communication skills. The third purpose is to demonstrate that you have commenced appropriate research for Assessment 3. Before starting this assessment, please read the assessment rubric at the end of this document. You should always check the unit website for specific instructions, which may be updated continuously. 

Step 1: Read the Assessment 3 (report) task description. 

Step 2: Undertake research of the recent academic literature since 2012. Identify four (4) academic peer-reviewed journal articles relevant to Assessment 3 topic. It is not a must for these articles to be based on the sector (i.e., retail or financial sector) you have chosen for Assessment 3. However, these must be aligned with at least three (3) of the unit themes from Weeks 1 to 12 (e.g., the evolution of HRM, the context of HRM, industrial relations or HR planning and work design challenges in a global environment). It is recommended that you undertake your research via the online ‘search’ of CQUniversity Library site. You cannot use the article from your Assessment 1 presentation for Assessment 2. 

Step 3: Write 500 words on each article (e.g., 500 x 4 = 2000 words). For each journal article, write to the headings in the template. These include:

Full reference

Outline of research objective and research question

Outline of the method

Discussion of the findings 

Summary of the conclusions

Indication of how this will be relevant for your Assessment 3 (i.e., Report)
