Indicative topics for investigation are as follows:Ethics and social responsibility for multi-national organisationsA research study on this subject could explore the role of HR professionals in influencing, informing, designing, monitoring and promoting social responsibility and ethical behaviour in organisations.

How successfully do organisations manage the many HR policy areas that need to be considered when bringing similar industries but possibly different culture together?Global reward systemsA research study on this subject could explore the nature and variance of reward and compensation systems and policies in a country of your choice. What factors do HR reward specialists need to consider in designing a reward policy which has to operate across a multi-national corporation? Recruitment & Selection of international managersA research study on this subject could focus on the recruitment of international managers and the role of HR and line managers in the design of the process. Here choosing a specific sector e.g. banking or insurance would help in critically analysing the effectiveness of the range of recruitment policies and processes. You might prefer to explore the selection process using the same criteria or combine them into one study. The use of expatriate staffA research study on this subject could explore how HR professional resource staff to work on international assignment. What issues and challenges do those working abroad face in terms of adjustment to new country cultures and how can HR prepare them for this experience.
