Write 3 annotated bibliography assignments on HR. Each annotated bibliography should be one page each. 

Annotated bibliographies must be written in manner, in which, they are understandable. You

must describe all-important data such as:

• The participants

• The reason the study was conducted

• What research design was used (surveys, interviews, case study, etc.)

• Which research analysis was used (MANOVA, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallace, etc.)

• The results of the study along with any conclusions of the author(s)

• Using external resources to gauge compensation levels may result in more equitable compensation planning. From the discussion preparation, assess how you would integrate the data on the PayScale website or similar sites into your compensation planning.
• Specifically, indicate three measures to ensure that your compensation scale is competitive.

By the end of the week, submit a topic proposal for your Negotiation Analysis Paper. The proposal (one page) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations are

• a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
• a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
• a complex real estate purchase;
• a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues);
• a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
• a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and
• a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.

The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can preform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.

Remember to submit your assignment for grading when finished.
