Step 2: Undertake research of the recent academic literature since 2012. Identify four (4) academic peer‐reviewed journal articles relevant to Assessment 3. 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 articles 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. Some of the peer‐reviewed academic journals would include: Human Resource Management (US), Human Resource Management Journal (UK), International Journal of Human Resource Management, Personnel Review, and Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources. You cannot use the article from your Assessment 1 ‐ Presentation for Assessment 2. Step 3: Write 500 words on each article (500 x 4= 2000 words). For each journal article, write to the headings in the template.
