Assignment 1:
Why is it important to have a very close relationship between business strategy and and an organisation's human resource strategy? Why might it be difficult to determine the impact of an organisation's human resource strategy on organisational performance?
Guidelines:
• The maximum word count for the assignment is 1,500 words.
• Assignment 1 must be typed, be well presented and written in an academic style with appropriate headings (introduction, main body, conclusion, bibliography, plagiarism certificate). Pay sufficient attention to the introduction and conclusion (they should each be approximately 10% of the word count for the assignment).
• 12 Font Size, Times New Roman or Arial, 1.5 line spacing.
• Pages must be numbered.
• Important: The incorporation of references from the literature should be a key aspect of this assignment and the literature should be used to support all ideas and points put forward throughout your assignment (I would not expect to see paragraphs without references!). The literature should help to inform the content of your assignment. Any idea, theme, or argument that you have found in the literature and used in your essay must be cited within the text.
• The assignment should be undertaken on an individual basis.
