General Guidelines

Nature of the topic/introduction (10% of marks = approximately 350 words).  In this section of your assignment it is expected that you identify the key issues associated with OBHRM, from the perspective of the employer. 

Review of appropriate academic literature (30% of marks = approximately 950 words).  In order to build knowledge, it is important that you access a range of relevant resources.  A literature review is concerned with judging the merit or otherwise of a body of research that addresses a research question.  A further definition is “In writing the literature review, the purpose is to convey to the reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. The literature review must be defined by a guiding concept

(eg. your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries.
