Case study “Throwback Brewery”
Instructions:
You have been asked to reflect and advise on HRM at Throwback Brewery. There are two parts
to your task:
1) Consider Throwback Brewery’s existing HR system. Which parts of the HR system are
working well? Which aspects could be improved?
2) As part of Throwback’s review of its HR system, you’ve been asked to design a new
performance management and appraisal system for the company. What should
Throwback’s new performance management and appraisal system look like? Your advice
should weigh up the pros and cons of different options and take account of recent trends
and developments in performance management.
In addressing these two questions, you should a) draw on the facts of the case to provide
analysis and explanation; and b) draw on ideas, concepts and theories covered in this subject.
MGMT 90015 Assignment 1: HRM case study (Sem 1, 2024)
Format:
For this assignment you will be answering two questions. We recommend this format:
Introduction
Provide an overall introduction to your assignment (which covers both questions 1 and 2).
Your introduction should begin with some initial comments about the topic, set out what
you are aiming to do in this piece of assessment, and provide an overview of what is to
come and what key points you will make in your answers to questions 1 and 2.
Question 1 (sub-heading)
Provide your answer to question 1.
Question 2 (sub-heading)
Provide your answer to question 2.
Conclusion
Provide an overall conclusion that draws together and summarises the main ideas covered in
your answers to questions 1 and 2. In general, don’t introduce new ideas or information
in a conclusion.
Reference list
Provide a list of the references you have cited in your assignment, in alphabetical order by
first author’s surname (following APA referencing style).
Please note: You do not need to include an abstract, executive summary or table of contents
(or index).
General recommendations
You should try and plan your assignment and write in paragraphs (not dot point form!).
Once you have an idea of what you want to say (i.e. a list of key points, issues or themes), you
need to organise them into a logical sequence. What key terms need defining? What
point should come first, second, third etc?
Paragraphs should be based around one key idea, and you should look for links between
ideas to help you develop a ‘flow’ in your writing.
It is good practice to begin each paragraph with a sentence that tells the reader what the
paragraph is about.
Use further sub-headings sparingly (as these tend to break up the flow of your writing).
