MGTS2604 Introduction to Human Resources Management - Semester 1, 2024
Assessment 3: Report on Issues in HRM: Case Analysis - 40%
Case Study: PEOPLE MANAGEMENT FIASCO IN HONDA MOTORCYCLES AND SCOOTERS INDIA LTD.
Rationale
Identifying, assessing, and addressing human resource management issues that affect the long-term objective of an organisation is a key responsibility of the Human resource manager.
When done correctly, this can confirm the value of the Human Resources function. Successful implementation of HRM practices doesn’t necessarily involve a big budget and a large team. The best HRM practices come in many different forms and often encompass creativity, passion and the ability to make a difference, whatever the size of the organisation.
Consider this assessment as a briefing by an internal HR manager (i.e. you, inside the case organisation) reporting to your executive team (i.e. me, the CEO of the case organisation).
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to conduct an in-depth analysis of an Human Resource Management issue in a Multinational company in China. (see the case study in the Assessment 3 folder on blackboard).
Using the HRM literature, models and lecture contents, you will analyse the case study, articulate the Human Resources problems/issues. You will individually select and develop your own solutions as a model of best practice for the specific organisation optimising their human capital. All solutions will be written in the report.
Tasks
You will produce a 2000-word business report with at least 10 academic peer- reviewed sources. Your report will address the following:
• A clear articulation of the human resource management issues/problems stating why it is important to address these issues/problems in the organisation.
• Evaluation of the antecedents to the issues/problems
• An overview of the ethical implications behind the issues/problems
• Solutions and recommendations which are based on one or more of the models explored in the course during the semester.
• A clear justification for recommendations/solutions.
