Social Media-Human Resource Custom Essay

The purpose of this paper is to allow the student to research, investigate and report on a Function of their choice in the human resource area. This is to be a

research report, meaning that the student must draw heavily on resources outside their personal experiences and framework of the courses taken in their educational

backgrounds. As a future hospitality manager, it will be important for you to be familiar with the published resources available other than trade magazines. A research

paper is a thorough investigation of the human resources function you selected. The length and depth is only limited by your time, effort and ambition. You will find

more than enough resources to research your topic.

Once your function topic has been selected, plan on spending time familiarizing yourself with materials dealing with your topic. You may select any topic related to

Human Resources management except those dealing with legal issues or training. Your Professor will approve your topic during Week 2. Once the topic is approved it MAY

NOT be changed or modified. If you do not select a topic by Wednesday of Week 2 one will be assigned.
Make an outline of which aspects of the human resources function you?re investigating that you plan on writing about. (This outline will become the ?Table of Contents?

of your written report. The Table of contents must include page numbers.)

of the 6 (six) publications must be refereed journal articles from research journals. If you are in doubt if are using refereed research journals please ask. (ALL

lend itself to a different format. However, do not list, be narrative. Do not use lengthy quotations or numerous bullet points in the body of the paper. This is NOT to
