This 10-12 page assignment is very research focused. I have to write a paper describing the HR requirements for hiring a new manager to oversee the operations in a Scandinavian division of a fictional company.
So first I had to do research on Scandinavian politics, economic performance, degree of unionization, labor relations, recent lawsuits against technology companies etc. I currently have about 15 sources of information in my references section and my browser is filled with tabs!
Then after finding and reading a bunch of journal articles, I began to write my opening paragraph and flesh out the skeleton of the document with opening lines for each major paragraph.
This process is time consuming but interesting. I am taking this assignment seriously because it is worth 20% of my grade and it is an exercise in strategic management and research so it is enjoyable. Also, this teacher is a stickler.
Just thought I'd post about it.
