Assessment details Critically analyse the following three (3) questions. You will select relevant theories and workplace examples (note: students are encouraged to use their own workplace experiences and examples) to provide a set of logical, wellsupported (by the literature) recommendations: 1. As an HR manager, you will often be required to resolve conflicts. How would you try to reduce instances of dysfunctional conflicts and instead promote functional conflict to spur needed innovation? 2. Negotiations are a key business activity. As an HR manager, what negotiation preparation strategy would you put in place to achieve optimal outcomes? 3. Cross-cultural collaboration is key in today’s global economy. As an HR manager, what training would you offer to improve cross-cultural teamwork? Word limit The word limit for this assessment is 2,000 words (+/-10%). The word count excludes the cover sheet, title page, table of contents, executive summary, appendices and reference list. Presentation requirements This assessment requires use of the Harvard Referencing System. Please consult the Guidelines for Referencing and Presentation in Written Reports and Essays published by the College of Business. You can access this online and from the Library. You must use core references from the reading list, and your own references from research. These can include: academic (refereed journals) and non-academic sources (quality news media, trade/industry journals). A minimum of eight (8) external references are required in addition to references from the reading list. It is recommended that you address each question individually.
