Case Study Assignment

Case studies in this course give us a glimpse of real-world HR incidents that we can examine based on our HR theory from our coursework.

All case studies will be written in essay format with headings. Papers which are not formatted correctly will receive a 10% grade reduction.

You will need to address the items below:

1. Facts – List the facts of the case. (1 page maximum)

2. Statement of the Problem (1-2 sentences)

Identify the main problem. Answer the question of “what is the underlying problem”? State a problem related to HR topics.(Refer to your textbook)

3. Solution (2-3 pages)

Explain in detail “How” you will solve the problem identified in your problem statement. Solutions are to be based on the topics that you have learned in this course. (Note: As stated in class, you cannot “fire” anyone as your solution) You must support your solution. You cannot just say – we need to train them, we need to pay them more, etc. Unsupported answers will not be accepted. Use both the textbook and any additional sources to complete this section. (In-text citations are required in this section)

4. Implementation (1page)

a. Who

b. How

c. Within what time frame

d. Control Measures

Grading: The more detailed and thorough the paper the better the grade. Relate the solution and implementation to the problem statement. In-text citations and research on topics is required.
