| Purpose | You are expected to ‘Review the HRM Literature’ for Assessment 2, and that material should be used towards Assessment 3, including the feedback received. Assessment 3 provides you the opportunity to apply your learning to a particular industry sector or problem, and tailor your argument to that sector’s specific challenges. This assessment has been designed to enhance your research, analysis, critical thinking and written communication skills, particularly in the areas of argument development and report writing. Before starting this assessment, please read the Marking Rubric. |
| Assessment task | This assessment requires you to write a report on current human resource management challenges in the Australian context in any one of the two sectors (Retail or Financial sector). When identifying these challenges, you are expected to refer to at least 3-5 topics/ themes we discussed during Weeks 1 to 12. Please refer to Assessment 3 – Template for further understanding of ways you can link your weekly topics/themes to this assessment. Your report structure is provided in a template, and includes: ■ Executive summary ■ Table of contents ■ Introduction ■ Sector context ■ Current human resource management challenges for the chosen sector in Australia ■ Conclusion and recommendations ■ References Your report should refer to at least eight (8) relevant peer‐reviewed journal articles including the articles presented in your Assessment 2 (Annotated Bibliography). Specific evidence related to Australian‐context and the chosen sector can come from other references such as books, conference papers, book chapters, magazines and news articles. However, these will NOT be counted as part of the 8 peer‐reviewed journal articles mentioned above. Important: Plagiarism will be reported to the Academic Integrity Unit and may result in a “zero” mark. |

| Submitting | Report must be submitted through the Moodle site. No email submissions will be accepted. All assessments submitted electronically through Moodle must be through the Student Portal http://my.cqu.edu.au. Failure to submit electronically will be taken as a failure to submit and therefore a zero (0) score will apply to the specific assessment. |
| Plagiarism | Copy detection software (Turnitin) is used in this course and work found in contravention of the copying and plagiarism rules will be investigated. Penalties apply in the case of proven instances of copying, plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Please check the following links to know more about Turnitin: http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/student‐training/viewing‐originality‐reports http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/student‐training/about‐originalitycheck Turnitin is only a tool and judgement need to be used when you view your Originality Report. Turnitin does not make a judgement as to what is referenced properly, it highlights the non‐original material in a piece of work. You should use the similarity score as a guide only and must then check the originality report to determine whether or not changes need to be made to the assessment. |
