Good Luck, I count on you.
Write an individual essay of 2500 words in response to the following title:
1) Discuss whether and how the notion of ‘best practice’ HRM can assist organisations in achieving and sustaining competitive advantage.
The assignment must be correctly referenced using Harvard referencing style (no footnotes). In order to address the question you are expected to read widely and offer a considered, critical analysis of the key debates which demonstrate your ability to explore fully the issues under investigation. More detailed assessment criteria are available in the module handbook – it is IMPORTANT that you address them. You should consider and incorporate feedback you received on your first submission (even if you wrote on a different topic). To this end, you should fill in a self-evaluation form (below) where you should clearly state what you did in response to feedback. This form needs to be copy-pasted into your submission as an appendix.
The assignment should be submitted electronically through Turnitin on Blackboard. It is important that you do not self-plagiarise (copy-paste material from your 1st attempt submission) but give the topic more thought and incorporate feedback on your first submission
