Human resource management is arguably the most exciting area within the field of business. Like many other disciplines, the human resource field continues to evolve and change. Certainly issues that many organizations contend with today (e.g., layoff of workers, volatile stock prices, natural disasters, major technological changes, social networking trends, the interrelationship of human resource management functions and the increasing use of technology, etc.), have huge impacts upon its people resources.

The questions assignment confronts you with questions on such issues, and prompts you to investigate and respond.

Your responses should be well organized and clearly labeled, with a clear subject heading under the appropriate topic.
