Business and Management

Guidelines for promoting healthy workplaces

Task: You recently began working in the HR unit of a medium sized manufacturing company. HR in this organisation is not well managed. Responsibility for day-today HR functions rests primarily with line supervisors, however they generally lack the necessary knowledge and skills to complete these functions effectively since most of them have come up through the ranks from a technical background. There are very few formal structures or guidelines in place.

The HR manager believes that the organisation needs to provide some more structured support for line supervisors. As a consequence you have been asked to develop a set of practical guidelines that will assist in managing these key HR functions and in dealing with people management responsibilities.

News Media and its effects on people

The topic for the third paper will be News Media. Your major project for this third unit is to write a text-based research paper in which you start with a research question related to our discussions on news media. This question should prompt you to investigate a topic dealing with a specific issue related to the news media. Your research will require collecting facts, opinions, and perspectives from various texts. You will also need to identify grounds for grouping the textual components and to organize this textual material under one or more controlling themes. The purpose of this paper is to explore the topic and attempt to answer your research question as objectively as possible.

The questions listed on page 264 of your textbook can be used to help develop your research question, but you are not limited to these topics.

In your paper, you must synthesize a minimum of three outside sources. Two of these sources must be an article found by using the full-text databases (i.e. Proquest, Lexis/Nexus). I must be able to tell that they are from the databases by looking at your APA reference page. You are welcome to use one or more of the readings from the textbook in your essay, but you will still need to find three outside sources. Any information retrieved from the Internet must be credible and appropriate as discussed in class. With your final draft, you will submit the first page of the source along with the page or pages you summarize, paraphrase, and/or quote from with the information you use in your paper highlighted in the source. Your essay must be five to six pages long, in addition to your references page, and follow APA format.
