Module 3 – Case
GLOBAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT/REWARDS
Assignment Overview
Signature Assignment: Critical Thinking, Emphasized level
In this assignment, your critical-thinking skills will be assessed. The critical-thinking
rubric will be useful for this purpose. In HRM401, they were assessed at the
“introduced” level. In this course, HRM402, critical-thinking skills will be assessed at
the “reinforced” level. Finally, in HRM403, your critical-thinking skills will be assessed
at the “emphasized” level. The grading rubric for critical thinking at the
undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the
HRM403 Case 3 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their
respective assignments.

with expats. Select an article that is about the experience of an actual employer,
such as Hurco, IBM, Ford, or other MNC (multinational company).
You are now ready to respond to the following:
Summarize the key points identified by the author(s) of each of the required readings
and the new article you bring to your list of references. Keep in mind the following
questions as you prepare your submission:
1. What is the main theme of each reference?
2. What authority does the author use to present the information?
3. What surprised you in the material?
4. What is missing from the article that you feel should be a component of it?
Provide an introduction and a conclusion within your paper. Also cite sources and
include a References page that includes at least one high-quality reference found in
the Trident Online Library in addition to at least two of the three required readings for
this assignment. Select “peer-reviewed” as a filter for results as well as a 3-year date
range to obtain the most recent published articles.
Submit your visual to the assignment dropbox as part of your 4- to 5-page paper (not
counting the cover and References pages) on or before the module due date. Note
that an assignment that calls for a paper of 4-5 pages means your submission
should not be less than 4 full pages.
Citation and reference style instructions are available at The Purdue Owl.
See the Trident guide to APA
Style, 7th edition.
Do not copy the references from the course. Instead, look up how to format them in
the guidelines provided by your professor.
