Changes in 21st Century Personnel Management

Research Paper Topic Class: In Unit IV, you will need to provide six research topics that are related to personnel management and are different from each other. These topics can be from your textbook and others that you may face within your organization. This is not an operational paper so do not discuss operations. This paper is to be written as if you are part of the management team and are fixing a challenge that you face within your organization. Sample Topics:  Recruitment and Retention  Discipline  Training Programs or Strategies  Sick Leave Abuse  Diversity  Morale  Discrimination (related: age, gender, religion, etc.)

These are just a few and the topics are endless. The format is up to you or you may use this example: Outline Example: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01/ Full Sentence Outline

1. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming. A. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific

community to be harmful. 1. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of

hazardous greenhouse gases. Full sentence outlines are often accompanied with an APA reference list on a separate page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize APA in - text citations. Each topic will have a brief description no more than two or three sentences and you will provide at least three references in total (not for each topic) for this portion and five references for the final project. You may use your textbook for one of those references. Please DO NOT submit more than three sentences. The description should be the problem statement of why you are picking this topic to discuss the issue and provide solutions for the issues. You will use the link within the classroom under Unit IV to submit your topic. If you have trouble uploading contact tech support for assistance. Thank you, Tom Maloney
