Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this project is to give your team an opportunity to apply what has been learned about human resources (in course lectures, readings, research, and discussions) and, then, to expand your acquired competencies when addressing an assigned topic. Since organizational work involves working and communicating with others, you will be participating in group work. You will be randomly assigned to work in groups. This aim of the group project is two-fold:

1. You will be writing a 10-page, double spaced paper (not including your cover page or references) about your selected topic. You will utilize the competencies acquired throughout our course to examine organizations that are successfully and unsuccessfully implementing HRM practices. Based upon the topic assigned, your team is required to identify at least five organizations that successfully and unsuccessfully utilize the HRM practice described. Of the five organizations that you identify, three of those organizations must be Fortune 500 companies.

2. In addition to the written portion of this assignment, you will also be presenting a 30-minute, 15-slide minimum presentation about your topic
