HRMT 307 Human Resource Planning

Project – MNCs and Global Industrial Relations context (30%)

What operational differences/challenges can the MNCs experience in high unionized and low unionized cultures/regions, specially, if the parent country and host countries have contrasting views on the role of unions? AND how do the MNCs respond to Industrial relations/labour relations policies of host countries they operate in?

Based on your research provide suggestion on how the MNCs can overcome the industrial relation challenges of host country. Suggestions should be in bullet points.

Report should be case study based and focus on multiple real life MNC examples and/or country/region wide discussions. Descriptive assignments (where you are mentioning a lot of theory) would be marked down. Include proper in text citations and APA style references for all sources. A minimum of 15 references are required out of which at least 5-6 should be journal papers - peer reviewed

2. References/Sources: You are required to use at least 15 references for the project (at least 6 of 15 references should be academic/peer reviewed)
3. Formatting: Assignment should adhere to the APA formatting style; Times new roman, font size 12, double spacing. You should also know the difference between essay/paper and report.
4. Coherence: Since this is a team project, this should not look like different pieces of writing put together. The paper should have connectivity, good transitions and coherence throughout.
5. Analysis: Analysis is at the heart of paper – this project requires you to analyse either regions or multinational companies and their union relations globally. You must focus your analysis on region specific/company specific knowledge. Theoretical assignments will be marked down. Use as many region specific/company specific examples as you can.
6. Paper requirements: Lastly, you will be assessed based on whether or not you have answered the questions being asked AND whether your understood the paper requirements or not.
