ASSESSMENT

Your Task:

Using good quality academic and journalistic sources, prepare a 1,500 word report for the CEO on HRM issues at B.N. Foray. Your knowledge and understanding of management of individual, team, and organizational change, including change and leadership theories will be critically examined. Individual coursework HR

The title of your report should be:

A Business Report to optimize the delivery of HR Processes at B.N. Foray.

Your report should include:

• A title Page
• Executive Summary
• Contents Page
• Outline of the primary HRM issues in B.N. Foray
• Proposal to optimize the delivery of HR Processes at B.N. Foray.
• Implementation plan including outline costings, responsibilities
• Risk register
• Bibliography using Harvard Referencing conventions.

The word count of 1,500 words will not include the title page, executive summary, contents page or bibliography.

You will not need to draw on all change and leadership theories that you read but should select instead those which are most applicable to the case study – B.N. Foray  – and apply them appropriately.

It is important that you show knowledge of key debates within the literature on Human Resource Management within an organization. Also, it is strongly advised that you are critical in your writing and ensure a good level of integration and coherence in applying theories. Please work on, and ensure an excellent level of criticality, coherence, and flow of your report. This will require effective discussion and clarity.

Please note that a significant amount of the marks are awarded on the basis of wider reading, critical and logical presentation, quality of argument, referencing, academic integrity and academic writing conventions. Please see Assessment Criteria on the Moodle.

Reassessment

The reassessment will be a resubmission of this report, with track changes made in response to the feedback given.  the date for Reassessment is 24^th January 2020.

The Learning Outcomes assessed by this assessment are:

Knowledge

1. Analyse and critically evaluate major ideas and practices in the field of people management.
2. Evaluate major contemporary theoretical and managerial perspectives on people management.

Thinking

• Engage critically and analytically with literature relating to major developments in the field of people management.
• Appreciate how research into effective people management underpins thinking in the other, more specialized fields of HRM and HRD practice that you will be studying.

Subject-based practical skills

• Ability to effectively apply HR theories and models to situations and various scenarios.
• Effectively apply key ratios appropriate for analysing the financial performance of the organisation.

Skills for life and work (general skills)

• Develop and express strong, original and well-justified arguments to support your views.
• Advise colleagues and senior managers about making improvements to management systems and thinking in organizations.

We strongly suggest that you try to submit all coursework by the deadline set as meeting deadlines will be expected in employment.  However, in our regulations, UEL has permitted students to be able to submit their coursework up to 24 hours after the deadline.  The deadline is published in this module guide.  Coursework which is submitted late, but within 24 hours of the deadline, will be assessed but subjected to a fixed penalty of 5% of the total marks available (as opposed to marks obtained).  If you submit twice, once before the deadline and once during the 24 hour late period, then the second submission will be marked and 5% deducted.  This rule only applies to coursework.  It does not apply to examinations, presentations, performances, practical assessments or viva voce examinations.  If you miss these for a genuine reason, then you will need to apply for extenuating circumstances, or accept that you will receive a zero mark.

• Guidance on referencing

As a student you will be taught how to write correctly referenced essays using UEL’s standard Harvard referencing system from Cite Them Right . Cite them Right is the standard Harvard referencing style at UEL for all Schools apart from the School of Psychology which uses the APA system. This book will teach you all you need to know about Harvard referencing, plagiarism and collusion.  The electronic version of “Cite Them Right: the essential referencing guide” 9th edition, can be accessed whilst on or off campus, via UEL Direct. The book can only be read online and no part of it can be printed nor downloaded.

• Details of submission procedures – to include

Notice is hereby given that all submissions for this component (Individual Coursework HR) of this Module must be submitted to Turn tin.”  If you fail to submit component (Individual Coursework HR), to Turn tin, in accordance with the guidance provided on the Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle), a mark of 0 will be awarded for the component.

Submitting Assessments Using Turnitin:

Turn tin is required for coursework assessments, such as report/research papers or projects in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and in PDF format.  There are two main reasons we want you to use Turn tin:

• Turnitin can help you avoid academic breaches and plagiarism.  When you use Turnitin before a submission deadline, you can use the Originality Report feature to compare your work to thousands of other sources (like websites, Wikipedia, and even other student papers).  Anything in your work that identically matches another source is highlighted for you to see.  When you use this feature before the deadline, you will have time to revise your work to avoid an instance of academic breach/plagiarism. 
• Turnitin saves paper.  When using Turnitin to electronically submit your work, you will almost never have to submit a paper copy. 

Late Submissions Using Turnitin

UEL has permitted students to be able to submit their coursework up to 24 hours after the deadline.  Assessments that are submitted up to 24 hours late are still marked, but with a 5% deduction.  However, you have to be very careful when you are submitting your assessment.  If you submit your work twice, once using the original deadline link and then again using the late submission link on Turn tin, your assignment will be graded as late with the 5% deduction.

Turnitin System Failure

Best advice: Don’t wait until the last minute to submit your assessments electronically.  If you experience a problem submitting your work with Turn tin, you should notify your lecturer/tutor by email immediately.  However, deadlines are not extended unless there is a significant systems problem with Turn tin.  UEL has specific plans in place to address these issues.  If UEL finds that the issue with the system was significant, you will receive an email notifying you of the issue and that you have been given a 24 hour extension.  If you don’t receive any email that specifically states you have been given an extension, then the original deadline has not been changed. 

• Feedback and return of work

Work should be submitted on Turn tin and all feedback will be on Turn tin. This will be released to students on 11^th December 2019 at 17:00.

You may submit formative work to your seminar tutor by 8^th November 2019. Generic feedback will be given to the whole class.
