Strategic Human Resource Management
Course Text: Mello, Jeffrey A. (2011). Strategic Human Resource Management, 4th ed. Thomson South-Western.
Instructions for assignment are in yellow, there will be several pieces to this work with final part being a 12 part paper. All will be assigned in the following weeks.
The objective of the project is to develop your skills in using the management and human resource management literature to solve a specific human resource organizational problem by integrating what you have learned previously in your human resource management studies and this strategic human resource management course. Armed with these skills you will be able to confront a specific human resource management problem with the backing of researchers, practitioners, and colleagues.
The final research paper on one of the topics we have studied this term relating to SHRM. The perspective of the paper should be strategic in nature (focused on the next 3-5 years) and should integrate at least two subtopics that you have studied earlier that relate to human resource management. For example, you are introducing a talent management process (or system) to your organization which will be implemented over the next 3-5 years. Your research paper will include not only the pro’s and con’s of talent management, but it will also include peripheral topics relating to organizational talent such as recruitment and selection of candidates and compensation: recruitment and selection of candidates and compensation are topics that you studied in earlier courses.
Module 2: Write a two page description of the research paper describing the main topic that you will research and the two additional subtopics that you plan on including in your research. Include the research question(s) your paper will address: the research question(s) should be formulated based on the problem within the organization because the strategic initiative has not been developed. For example, there is a shortage of leaders in an organization because there is a lack of leadership identification and development within the organization. A talent management process would increase the number of leaders and prepare them for work assignments. This will also impact recruitment and selection as well as compensation. The topic for this question might be: How can talent management process better prepare future organizational leaders? How will recruitment and selection and compensation be impacted to ensure we have the leaders that we need? Prepare a brief description of the organization to which the project would be recommended.

systems used to promote company goals and core values throughout an organization
The case describes the systems used to promote company goals and core values throughout an organization. It also explores the challenges of scaling up and emphasizes that a strong culture is not enough to build an entrepreneurial spirit in a growing company if top executives do not empower their people, encourage them to think critically, or stimulate them to explore new ways to improve operations and adapt the business to the markets into which it is expanding. It also discusses how a company can best leverage its investments in its people, and explores the challenges of going public.

analyze in writing the work of a recognized Fantastic artist in preparation for creating a Fantastic work of your own
Introduction
The first Fantastic artists were independent of any recognized style and were simply pioneering the genre. Fantastic Art explored the absurd, bizarre, imaginary, whimsical, and grotesque themes of “the other” worlds. Following them, the Fantastic Art era had two major artistic and literary styles: the Dada Movement and the Surrealist Movement. Dada Art sought to convey the importance of an artwork’s concept more than its physical attributes, while the Surrealist Movement challenged artists to create works that reached beyond reality to explore the imagery of the subconscious mind and the imagination.
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for you to closely analyze in writing the work of a recognized Fantastic artist in preparation for creating a Fantastic work of your own. By exploring your own notions of the absurd, or a reality beyond the one that we know, you will push yourself to express something unexpected. Comparing the two works (yours and that of a chosen Fantastic artist) will demonstrate how well you understand Fantastic art and how well you can apply what you know.
