6c. Project-based Problem-based Assignment – Part 2 (Research Report) Students are required to work independently and research industry best practice in strategic human resource management and talent management and then apply this research information to the selected case study to identify the opportunities for practice improvement.

The research report should contain a clearly designated Introduction Section that sets the scene for the research report, defines key terms, sets out the salient features of the case study organization’s talent management practice, its workforce management challenges and the opportunity for practice improvement and the rationale for change.

 The research report should contain a Background Section that provides a synthesis of key points from the Project-based Problem-based Assignment – Part 1 (Workforce Management Challenges).

The report must contain a Discussion Section should address four specific questions:

 1. Recap the key workforce management challenges facing the case study organization and why these challenges are critical to the organization’s sustained effectiveness (drawing upon the research literature)?

 2. Discuss the concepts of dynamic capability and strategy alignment and practice integration and why they are important in relation to strategic HRM (drawing upon the research literature)?

 3. Discuss the perceived benefits of effective talent management for organizational performance and review the different conceptual approaches that can be used in managing talent (drawing upon the research literature)?

 4. Discuss the opportunity for practice improvement in relation to the case study organization’s talent management practices and how it can be viewed as a strategically aligned practice area with some acknowledgement of the change management implications (drawing on the research literature)?

The report must contain a Findings and Conclusions Section. The Findings and Conclusions Section should addresses what was found from the research literature on talent management and why there appears to be a gap between theory and practice in the case study organization? The report must also contain a Recommendations Section. The Recommendation Section should be brief, ‘action oriented’ statement of the practice improvements in talent management? Such improvements must have the potential to have benefit for employers and employees. The recommendations must draw from and be consistent with the Discussion Section and the Findings and Conclusions Section of the report.
