Essay Assignment 2017
The ability of HRM to lead to improved organisational performance is contingent on achieving a fit between business strategy and HRM practice. Discuss the validity of this statement with specific reference to two HRM practices.
As a business operating in markets all around the world, we believe diversity brings benefits for our customers, our business and our people. We want a connected workforce that reflects the communities where we operate and helps us meet the needs of customers from all walks of life. Different ideas and perspectives help us innovate, manage risk, and grow the business in a sustainable way…Diversity and inclusion is part of who we are at HSBC. It is vital to the future of our business (HSBC Bank). Consider this recent organisational statement on diversity and discuss the rationale for attention to equality and diversity issues within human resource management, reflecting on both business case and moral/social justice cases.
Sociologists tend to see conflict as normal part of organisational functioning. Consider the implications of this view for the management of people within organisations, with specific reference to two HRM practices.
Discuss whether you agree with the view which sees that ‘the importance of HRM lies not in the objective reality of its normative models and their implementation, but in the… reality of its rhetoric… redefining the meaning of work and the way individual employees relate to their employers.’ (Legge, 2005: 123)
Most mainstream HRM research starts from the premise of there being a generic, universal worker. Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement, reflecting on the factors that determine an organisation’s approach to HRM?
‘A core managerial belief appears to be that not only is managing through the payment system the most appropriate means of managing human resources, but that the existence of a payment system is also sufficient for managing human resources’. Discuss this statement, looking at the centrality of payment systems within, and the common problems faced in performance management.

Narrated: What makes an effective summary?
The document provides guidance on writing an effective summary. An effective summary should accurately represent the original work in 200-250 words using the author's own words. It should reveal the main ideas without opinion and attribute ideas to the original author. Quotes should be used sparingly, if at all. The summary should be coherent, thorough, and properly cited as its own unique piece of writing distinct from the original. As an example, the document summarizes David Sedaris' essay "Me Talk Pretty One Day" which recounts the author's experiences learning French in Paris, detailing a cruel teacher but ultimately finding joy in comprehension.

This document is a summary of the play Oedipus King of Thebes by Sophocles. It provides background on the plot, including that a plague has struck Thebes and the people have come as suppliants to Oedipus for help. It also lists the characters that will appear in the play and provides brief descriptions of important characters and places mentioned, such as Oedipus, Jocasta, Creon, and the oracle at Delphi.
The facilitative continuum
This document discusses facilitative communication versus directive communication. Directive communication emphasizes the leader's expertise, experience, and authority, while facilitative communication emphasizes empowering subordinates and working together towards goals. Facilitative communication asks open-ended questions to draw out the subordinates' own wisdom and ideas, rather than the leader dictating solutions or decisions. The document suggests that facilitative communication can help supervisors better connect with their team members and create a more productive work environment.
Filipinisms
This document discusses Philippine English and Filipinisms. Philippine English is a hybrid of English and Filipino languages and culture that developed due to post-colonial influences of Spanish and English. Filipinisms are adopted or borrowed English phrases that are used differently in the Philippines and may lead to miscommunication with native English speakers. Some Filipinism examples include words that are transliterated into Tagalog spelling, have revised spellings, or take on completely different meanings than in standard English. The document cautions that Filipinisms are not wrong but may cause interpretability issues internationally.
Bakla essay
This document provides an overview of Baklas, or effeminate gay men, within Filipino culture. It discusses how Baklas occupy a "third gender" role outside the traditional gender binary. The document traces the history and development of the Bakla identity from the Philippines' colonial past to the present. It examines the social expectations placed on Baklas and how they navigate public and private life. Baklas often work in professions like beauty, sex work, or entertainment. The document also explores how Bakla identity is reinforced within families and schools from a young age. Overall, it analyzes how Baklas represent a uniquely Filipino cultural identity that challenges traditional gender norms.

Tactics of Academic Exposition
- 2. For the Unit Two Paper: Surprising and revealing thesis Supportive expository writing in your body paragraphs Expository writing sets out to present ideas in a clear, straightforward, objective manner. SCHOLARLY ETHOS!!!
- 3. Expository Writing: Definition/Classification Exemplification/Illustration Cause and Effect Compare and Contrast Process Analysis
- 4. Definition/Classification Placing the word/topic subject and showing how it differs from other members of its class --detail, analogy, and answering the question WHAT IS ______?
- 5. Exemplification/Illustration A near inverse of Definition/Classification It is the use of a particular member to explain or dramatize a type, thing, person… Must be a fair representation!
- 6. Cause and Effect Seems simplistic: A lead to B Be certain that A caused B; there are philosophical and ethical implications at stake! It may be best to consider a number of causes for one particular result or effect
- 7. Compare and Contrast Indicating similarity or difference between two things Identify the terms of comparison or contrast Identify the points of likeness or difference between the objects compared
- 8. Process Analysis Logical sequencing Mining for gold or writing a poem Centered around a central governing idea…like a points to particulars support for an argument or thesis Explained step-by-step process Have the ability to predict what steps may follow…
- 10. Expectations for Unit 2 Use these tactics of exposition when using evidence to support your argument. Use them to give a deeper understanding or perhaps elucidate the complexity around a particular topic Essential to the Unit 2 paper
- 11. THANK YOU!!
