project (mini-case):
Students’ analytical and strategic skills, gradual advancement of the project, enthusiasm about the topic, etc.
Quality of the written case
Example cases are provided on-line.
Writing Your Own "Mini-Case"
The text presents not only an excellent overview to issues in human resource management but also demonstrates the value of learning about organizations from an issues perspective. Each student will therefore be required to write a minimum 5 page case with an associated 3-5 page analysis based upon one of their work experiences; a case that focuses on issues related to human resource management (legal, recruitment, selection, orientation, training and development, compensation, and evaluation) within an organization.
The Case
The case tells "the story" of what has occurred (or is about to occur) within the organization. It indicates who the key characters are, their motivation and interest, and usually focuses on a key management decision, issue, or dilemma that needs to be addressed. Don’t forget your "who, what, when, where, why, and how" when writing this section and the "facts, assumptions, and sentiments" embedded in the case. (See on-line resources which include PowerPoint slides and a case on case writing for more details.)
Case Analysis
Students or the group will be asked to address one major issue that the organization has or is addressing related to the field HRM (i.e. electronic monitoring of employees, employment at will, employee morale, etc.) and then to apply textbook HRM theories to the organization that they are describing in order to resolve the previously described issue(s). The theories will be covered in this analysis section of the case and should include a short description of each theory. This section of the case provides the underlying theory and analysis that supports the academic integrity of the case and provides theory-driven answers to the issue denoted in the case story section.
Please thoroughly document your analysis when referring to and applying theory, providing a bibliography and in-text references. You or your group should consult a writing style manual if you are unsure as to how to properly footnote this work. This section of the paper should be highly referenced.

Table of Contents
Abstract
Section 1
Introduction – describe the purpose of the case analysis (what will we learn if we read the case and your analysis?), the key issue and theories to be applied, the organization in general terms, your position within the firm, and the individuals, unit, and/or division to be analyzed.
Behind the Scenes: The Firm - provide enough background material so that the reader has a basic understanding of the firm (its strategy, structure, culture, etc…) and the HR issue at hand.
Section 2
The "Story" – first describe the action or sequence of events that occurred within the organization that led you to decide to analyze the problem (or problems) you are about to describe. Then provide the reader with enough information about the problem(s) so that we could develop several solution strategies.
Section 3
The Theories– describe the theories in some detail to be applied to the firm. The theory portion of this section should be highly documented based upon secondary (library/on-line) research and include footnoting of paraphrased material. AVOID DIRECT QUOTATIONS AND BE CAREFUL NOT TO PLAGIARIZE!
Section 4
Problem Statement/Issue and Literature Support – describe what you think the problem or issues are and how the theories or concepts support your analysis. This section should be highly researched and include numerous references! Please make sure to apply the specific theories in your analysis,
Alternatives/Solution Strategy – given your analyses, and the theories, what options are available to the decision-maker? Use theory to help you choose the "best" option and explain how this option best addresses the problem and uses the "best" theory to do so.
Section 5
Conclusions – what have you learned about the organization? What have you learned about the issue and theories? What have you learned about "HR management" in general because of this assignment? What more would you like to learn?
