ALL dissertations should include the following

Cover sheet –

Title Page

Abstract – The abstract should not be longer than

300 words. It should indicate the nature and scope of the work, outlining the research problem, key issues,

findings and your conclusion/recommendations. It should be included immediately after the title page and it

will be examined as part of the dissertation.

Table of Contents – An outline of the whole project in list form, setting out the order of the sections, with

page numbers. It is conventional to number the preliminary pages (abstract, table of contents) with lower case

Roman numerals (i.e. (i), (ii), (iii) etc.) and the main text pages (starting with the first chapter) in Arabic

numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) as shown below.

List of tables and figures – You can present a list at the beginning of your dissertation/ project of the tables

and figures you have included.

Tables and figures should be clearly and consistently numbered, either above or below the table or

figure. Each table and figure should have a separate heading (caption). The reader should be able to

explanations. The numbers of the tables and the figures you use in the text and in the lists at the beginning

should correspond exactly.

Diagrams, figures, tables, and illustrations should be incorporated into the text at the appropriate place, unless

there is a series of them or they are continually referred to throughout the text. In this case they should be placed in appendices at the end of the work. You are advised to use a drawing package for diagrams and scan

illustrative material should not be included unless it is relevant, informative, and referred to in the text.

With the acceleration of globalization, firms with superior international HRM capabilities are likely to have a competitive advantage. How will this be achieved?

Please help formulate a response to the following.

With the acceleration of globalization, firms with superior international HRM capabilities are likely to have a competitive advantage. As Floris Maljers, former co-chairman of Unilever, put it: “Limited human resources—not unreliable or inadequate sources of capital—has become the biggest constraint in most globalization efforts.” Many scholars studying the multinational firm today, whatever their discipline or background, would agree. However, the opportunities for HRM to impact how multinational firms tackle the challenges of globalization go well beyond supply and motivation of talent. Sustainable competitive advantage rests not only on designing smart global strategies but also on building layers of organizational capabilities supporting their execution—an area where HRM plays an increasingly critical role.

Consider the various Human Resource mechanisms that global firms use today.

Consider the various Human Resource mechanisms that global firms use today.

Select two or three that can be introduced in the firm, if they are not already deployed.

Propose how these mechanisms can be used to build a strategic business partnership, close the gap between management/leadership and employees while building a cohesive culture that adds value, empowerment, motivation, and rewards human capital.

Use a practical example to support your answers when focusing on the international firm
