Identify two (2) good quality journal articles from the CQU library databases and business press publications such as Harvard Business Review. The articles must have been published within the last five years.
Critically analyse the chosen articles to identify a key theme for current research and thinking on your topic, rather than simply summarizing the articles.
Design your presentation. Creatively design your presentation with the aim to engage your class on the latest thinking research on your HRM topic. Presentation is to be a maximum of eight (8) minutes with a maximum of six (6) PowerPoint slides. For each article, you should communicate : the title, topic, objective of the research, method for the research, argument/findings, and Conclusion.
