The essay has two questions which basically cover the two central organising ideas of this module. The student will never be able to cover every concept or every empirical paper in such a short essay, instead I advised my students to choose one or two concepts, look at them critically. Then present an empirical paper or two to show how that theory has been used to create insight into HR in an international context. This might seem confusing, but if you see the suggested structured below this would become much clearer:

Question 1: What are the different conceptual approaches HRM academics can take when examining HRM within an international context. Illustrate your answer with references to conceptual ideas and empirical evidence from the literature. ~1,000 words.

Question 2: "Globalisation means that eventually HR policy and practice will converge into a single ‘best practice' everywhere in the world." Discuss and evaluate this claim. Illustrate your answer with reference to conceptual ideas and empirical evidence from the literature.
