socials responsibility and ethical behaviour and IHRM study

The assessment criteria for the final paper are slightly different, depending on whether you decide to work on an international HRM topic, or diversity; corporate socials responsibility and ethical behaviour and IHRM study. [See assessment criteria at the end of the guide.]

You cannot carry out a study on your own country, so any research must be in another country context.

Research topic: Global reward systems: Comparison Wal-Mart group rewarding system between CHINA and U.S.
The research case study is: Wal-Mart rewarding system in CHINA and U.S.
Words limitation : 3000

General Guidance:
Global reward systems

A research study on this subject could explore the nature and variance of reward and compensation systems and policies in a country of your choice. What factors do HR reward specialists need to consider in designing a reward policy which has to operate across a multi-national corporation?

The following provide some more detailed information to help you understand what you need to consider when writing your assignment. Some important factors to consider are:

• Use a wide range of reference materials; Text books and especially journal articles;

• Avoid just using the core text book as your main reference source;

• Make sure you provide examples from an organisation known to you to apply the theory or models;

• Draw on your own organisational experiences;

• Be critical of the theory and ideas, have your own opinions;

• Avoid just describing the theory, make sure you develop an argument;

• Use critical analysis throughout your work.

 

• Your objectives are rather lost in the discussion so it was not entirely clear what you are intending to research;
• I think there were 4 objectives but I suggest you use bullet points to set out each objective;
• When you have written clearer objectives then think about how you will provide the evidence you have achieved them?
• If this is based on Wal-Mart then you will need to consider a question that asks can you design a reward system that is appropriate to both countries.
• You reference section was very limited I would have expected around 10 to 15 references;
• Nothing here about how national culture might impact on the design of the reward systems;
• What about non-financial rewards;
• Be sure to apply a good level of critical analysis to the research so that you are questioning and evaluation the research and literature you use in the study.
