Essay question - 2,500 words

You are a member of a multi-disciplinary Senior Management Project team in an international pharmaceuticals company, with specific responsibilities for HR. The company operates in most countries of the world, and is seeking to develop and expand business in developing third world markets.

As a result, the company is opening a new plant in a year from now, in a South American country where it has not operated previously. The building work is underway and initial commissioning will be done by the team, who have been drawn from existing operations worldwide. The product line will be agro-chemicals, with an emphasis on environmental considerations. Longer-term, it is possible that the product range will be extended to include animal and human health pharmaceutical products.

The Senior Management project team is now asked to look at HR policy for the plant - and the Main Board has told the team that the current reliance on expatriates to manage the business locally is not sustainable in the longer-term and that they want rapid moves made so that the plant has a high proportion of locally-recruited managers within 5 years, aiming for totally local management within 10 years.

YOUR TASK is to write a report of 2500 words for the Senior Management project team on (a) what the principles of the HR policy should be and (b) what steps are needed to ensure that the planned start of production can take place within one year as scheduled.

More specifically, you may want to consider:

- What the theory of HR policy is and how it is treated in contemporary literature

- With reference to contemporary literature, evaluate the extent to which management within organisations impact on the process of HR policy.

Credit will be given for a clear demonstration that you have:

- Extensively read appropriate literature and made use of relevant, contemporary theoretical work on HR policy.

- Considered your own experience of organisations (schools, colleges and Universities are all organisations) and offered explicit examples where appropriate.

- Considered contemporary HR techniques in your own culture and offered some examples where appropriate.

It is a very small part of the whole work. The whole work is of 2500 words, where as the given word count for draft was only 300 and I had to describe my way of work within these few words. I have included each headlines, concepts, and objectives and described what I would write under those.

- The assignment should be word processed and double line spaced. Do not (ever) use bullet points (except PowerPoint slides)! - Use Arial size 11 point (this font and size) for your assignments. - State the word count used in the essay. - On each sheet, ensure you have page numbers in the format ‘Page x of y’ – see the footer in this assignment for an example. - All work should be referenced in Harvard style format – there are hand-outs available on-line at the Library website and these are available as a hardcopy in the Library if you are unsure about this. References should be in text and in a list at the end – this list does not count as part of your word count. - Do not use Wikipedia, Google, Googlebooks or Yahoo – the former is not peer assessed and the work is unreliable and the latter are search engines. Do not rely too heavily on Internet sources. There is no need for a contents page. - Do use contemporaryacademic text books and academic journal articles (newspapers are not articles); use post-year 2000 academic work.

Havard referencing , including intext Good English Theory to support - Your lecturer will look at one draft version of this essay, by email attachment up to 2 weeks before the end of the module (i.e. by the end of Week 8). This way you can use this ‘formative’ feedback to develop your work further. This draft should be no more than 1 side of A4, identifying the areas you are going to cover in this work. If a draft is submitted greater than one side of A4, then following sides will not be looked at or commented on. This feedback does not contribute towards a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ mark. Drafts are not graded or assessed – the purpose of these is for you to gain feedback for improving your work. Guidance can be sought by speaking to your lecturer if there are any areas of confusion by arranging an appointment via e-mail.
