Essay
write an essay on 1000-2000 words, based on your chronicle, on how these challenges and
opportunities can be understood from an IHRM perspective. In this essay, use at least three scientific
articles of your own choice to address the challenges you have noticed in your chronicle. The
observations you have written down in your chronical is thus your empirical material that you use to
build an argument. Start your essay with a short and clear introduction and aim on what challenge
you want to address. The scientific articles that you use (together with the empirical material in your
chronicle) to address the aim of your essay could address various themes, such as team theory,
cross-cultural theory, or other theories related to international human resource management.
Besides the minimum of three scientific articles you can use as many (relevant) references as you
wish. You do not have to conclude your essay with an answer, you might as well conclude with a
question.
Team evaluation – salary criteria
In addition, as a project leader one of the challenges is to assess performance of your group
members. As an attachment to the essay, you will put yourself in the position as project leader and
assess your teammates´ performance and effort. Imagine that you were to give your team members
a salary raise. Your budget allows you to give in total 3% salary raise to one of your team members,
2% to one of your team members and 1 % to the rest of your team members. Construct a table
where your assigned salary raise is shown. Do not include yourself in the table. Explain your decision,
based on evaluation/salary criteria on what you found was important in the group members
contributions in the teamwork, with a short text (not included in the wordcount of the essay).
