Accompanying this presentation you are required to write a report. You have been asked to ensure that you address the following four points in your report:
1. What are the different approaches to HR, and how might they vary depending on where in the world HR is being practices?
2. What are legal (employment only) and employee relations issues that might be relevant and how these should be addressed.
3. What approach to reward would you recommend? In particular you are asked whether you think that reward should be controlled from the head office in UK.

This means that you must make practical suggestions, but they must always be supported by reference to relevant theory or research. Although your opinions are important, they do not carry much weight if they are not referenced.
2. The assessment will be divided into a number of questions. It is important that you answer them all, and that it is clear where your answer to each question starts.
3. Ensure that your answers show an analytical approach. This means that you are questioning and probing in your approach. You should not just write a suggestion or an answer without questioning the strengths and weaknesses of your idea. You should weigh up the potential issues and address them.
4. When you reference ensure that you use Harvard referencing.
5. Ensure that you read the questions carefully and that you answer the specific question that has been asked.
