Assessment Information
This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes:
1. Critically evaluate the relationship between the impact of culture on organisational life.
2. Identify and contrast the key areas of similarity and difference in HR practice between countries.
3. Appraise and critique strategic international HR with international business strategy approaches.
4. Measure and critically analyse the impact and effectiveness of international assignments.
This assignment is an individual assignment.

This assignment requires you to write an individual 4000 word essay to conduct in-depth analysis of a real
organisation to address the following requirements:

1. The report should include an abstract or executive summary that briefly summarises the aims and
main conclusions of the report. The main text should be divided into a logical sequence that
identifies the problems and includes correctly cited illustrations (diagrams, graphs and tables). It is
essential to include correctly cited references for all text and concepts originating from other
authors.

2. HRM issues relating to the organisation need to be included, such as resourcing and diversity issues.
This should include a commentary on talent management.
You should also discuss organisational structure with emphasis on grouping and teamwork. When
you write about organisational culture be sure to show the part played by information systems. This
is an opportunity to bring out the way your chosen organisation deals with skills; training and
development as well as appraisal. How performance and motivation are applied in the organisation
need to be discussed in your report.

will be monitored and assessed. Show the influence of communication, and finally, state your
recommendations in your conclusions.

• Your coursework will be given a zero mark if you do not submit a copy through Turnitin. Please take care
to ensure that you have fully submitted your work.
• Please ensure that you have submitted your work using the correct file format, unreadable files will
receive a mark of zero. The Faculty accepts Microsoft Office and PDF documents, unless otherwise advised
by the module leader.
• All work submitted after the submission deadline without a valid and approved reason (see below) will be
given a mark of zero.
• The University wants you to do your best. However we know that sometimes events happen which mean
that you can’t submit your coursework by the deadline – these events should be beyond your control and
not easy to predict. If this happens, you can apply for an extension to your deadline for up to two weeks,
or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral, which takes you to the next assessment period (for
example, to the resit period following the main Assessment Boards). You must apply before the deadline.
You will find information about the process and what is or is not considered to be an event beyond your
control at https://share.coventry.ac.uk/students/Registry/Pages/Deferrals-and-Extension.aspx
• Students MUST keep a copy and/or an electronic file of their assignment.
