Issues will relate to the topics and readings of the syllabus posted. You are required to: - summarize the key strategic HR issues highlighted in the case-study, - undertake some research (minimum 5 sources) in regard to the problem presented and provide your critical analysis on those strategic HR issues/ problems as per your understanding of the course material by applying the principles/ concepts learned in the class, (for example, Amazon as a company is making remarkable financial success but as per the research it has been portrayed as a soul crushing employer. So how far the people management practices at Amazon are sustainable for its strategic expansion?) - provide some industry comparisons (compare the strategic HR issues highlighted with the best practices of another company in the similar industry with comparable business strategy, size and operations) and - suggest suitable recommendations (4-5) with examples and illustrations from your understanding of the course acting as an HR consultant. (for example, in continuation of the example provided above, provide recommendations on how Amazon can continue to sustain its employer brand and strategic expansion by introducing some robust HR strategy policies and practices?)
