The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process managers use to connect unit goals with organizational strategy.

Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in strategic planning.

Use this information to write the Strategic HRM Proposal. The Strategic HRM Proposal should be in the form of a professional report. There is no single, correct manner of presentation. Creative thinking is expected. The formatting is secondary to the content and application of knowledge. However, the proposal should be organized in a readily comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of course objectives. Graphics, bulleted lists, tables, and charts are acceptable. Include the following: • Introduction and conclusion that make relevant connections to course objectives. • Summary of the organizational description included in your Scenario Generator Report. • Reflection and application of each point included in your Scenario Generator Report (two to three fully developed sentences per item).
