This assessment task has four (4) parts.
Each student is required to submit a personally delivered (video-recorded) presentation containing all four topics listed below using PowerPoint and CSU Replay. Instructions on how to use CSU Replay are included within the HRM502 Interact2 site. The presentation should be no more than 10 minutes. Use up to three (3) slides per topic, 1 slide for the title page, and 1 slide for references. Fourteen (14) slides in total.
A. Evidence-based HRM, a specific application of the broader term "evidence-based management", is a cornerstone in this subject. Explain what is meant by this term, using at least two (2) information sources from academic journals to support your argument. Why is evidence-based HRM important in HR practice?
B. Find any two (2) online information sources that you believe would be useful to Israel Tobin in persuading Mark French of the strategic value of the HR function in CERA. (The sources do not need to be used by Israel in full - they are to inform his presentation.) Briefly, explain how each source might be used to support Israel pitch to Mark French and the CERA executive team.
C. Using the CRAP test, evaluate the two sources that you used above.
D. Draw conclusions regarding the nature of the information that should be used to inform practice.
