Assignment Objectives:
To develop knowledge of the important labor supply and demand concepts and demonstrate this knowledge in the assignment.
To apply knowledge of unit material in a real world context by linking relevant concepts to real world examples.
To learn to consistently integrate links (references/citations) of relevant unit material in a way that supports points 1 and 2 above. A failure to consistently cite unit material and readings will incur considerable penalties to the overall grade.
For this assignment focus on your existing or recent organisation
Please could you use the military or a government organisation
For assignment 1 students are expected to read and refer consistently to Werner & Di Simone (2012) chapters 1, 2 & 4 and readings by Freyens (2010); Luoma (2000); Nankervis et al. (2008); Roberts (2005); & Stone (2008) from eReserve.
Additional readings are also available and useful for Assignment 1 and I would encourage you to refer to these as well if they are helpful for you. These are: Haighner et al. (2013); Dubra & Gulbe (2008); Burke (2011); and Prskawetz et al. (2008).
For your chosen organisation,( Military -Government) discuss the critical factors or issues you believe are influencing labor demand.
In other words, what are the workforce changes and how do they impact on existing and future jobs? (40% of assignment). Important here to link explicitly to the models that are used for labor demand forcasting in your unit material.
You must refer to these models and show how they have assisted your arguments.
For your chosen organisation, (Military – Government) discuss the critical factors or issues that are influencing labor supply. In other words, what challenges does the organisation face in locating, attracting and hiring a labor force over the next five (5) years minimum? (40% of assignment).
Finally, what kinds of information and data would the organisation need to have access to or generate to ensure labor demands and supply are accurately understood? You must refer to unit material to guide your arguments ? Nankervis et al. (2008); and Stone (2008) are essential to include in your discussion but other readings are also relevant such as Dubre & Gulbe (2008). You must be very clear here and support your observations with examples (20% of assignment).
