In Unit VII, you will be required to complete a research paper. The topic of your paper must be within the areas of strategic
human resource management (HRM), global HRM, designing of work systems, labor relations, talent management,
performance systems, or compensation systems.
For this assignment, you will create a literature review of at least five sources, appropriate to the topic you selected from
above. At least one source must come from the Waldorf Online Library. This will be your research paper topic and first draft
of your literature review that you will use in the Unit VII Research Paper.
A literature review should include sources appropriate to the topic, which are current (within the last 5 years) and/or relevant.
Thorough comparison and contrast of findings should be provided and related to the main discussion points. Explain why
the source was selected, how it relates to the topic, and controversies that exist in the literature, which should be clearly
introduced and discussed. The significance of the discussion for the research question must be clear.
Your literature review should be a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Adhere to
APA style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.
