Global reward systems: Comparison Wal-Mart group rewarding system between CHINA and U.S.
The second task is the research study and this counts for 75% of the marks.
The assessment criteria for the final paper are slightly different, depending on whether you decide to work on an international HRM topic, or diversity; corporate socials responsibility and ethical behaviour and IHRM study. [See assessment criteria at the end of the guide.]
You cannot carry out a study on your own country, so any research must be in another country context.
Research topic: Global reward systems: Comparison Wal-Mart group rewarding system between CHINA and U.S.
The research case study is: Wal-Mart rewarding system in CHINA and U.S.
Words limitation : 3000
General Guidance:
Global reward systems
A research study on this subject could explore the nature and variance of reward and compensation systems and policies in a country of your choice. What factors do HR reward specialists need to consider in designing a reward policy which has to operate across a multi-national corporation?
The following provide some more detailed information to help you understand what you need to consider when writing your assignment. Some important factors to consider are:
- Use a wide range of reference materials; Text books and especially journal articles;
- Avoid just using the core text book as your main reference source;
- Make sure you provide examples from an organisation known to you to apply the theory or models;
- Draw on your own organisational experiences;
- Be critical of the theory and ideas, have your own opinions;
- Avoid just describing the theory, make sure you develop an argument;
- Use critical analysis throughout your work.
vement
- Your objectives are rather lost in the discussion so it was not entirely clear what you are intending to research;
- I think there were 4 objectives but I suggest you use bullet points to set out each objective;
- When you have written clearer objectives then think about how you will provide the evidence you have achieved them?
- If this is based on Wal-Mart then you will need to consider a question that asks can you design a reward system that is appropriate to both countries.
- You reference section was very limited I would have expected around 10 to 15 references;
- Nothing here about how national culture might impact on the design of the reward systems;
- What about non-financial rewards;
- Be sure to apply a good level of critical analysis to the research so that you are questioning and evaluation the research and literature you use in the study.
