Assessment 2 - Research Assignment
Assessment Type Written assignment
Purpose The purpose of this assessment is for students to
explain the nature and rules of conflict resolution, describe the
features of resolution methods, and explain the employment relations
framework.
Description This assignment provides students with an opportunity to
research and analyse a significant issue related to negotiation,
advocacy and mediation as conflict resolution processes. They engage in
critical thinking and use effective written communication skills.
Much has been written about negotiation, advocacy and mediation but
often the `scientific’ evidence to support the analysis has been
sketchy. This assignment requires you to find at least five quality
sources which report on a particular aspect or theme of negotiation or
conflict resolution research and to critically review their findings.
Written as an essay, the assignment should be organised around the following:
Introduction: The area or theme selected should be broadly described/defined with a brief overview provided.
Body: Organise the literature into logical streams related to your
topic area. Within each of these areas summarise what the literature
says. Be sure to indicate whether the information you are drawing on is
based on empirical data, theoretical propositions, or, if it occurs,
draws on the opinion of the author. Be sure to use structured paragraphs
which should include: a topic sentence, citations of evidence, examples
and discussion. Conclusions: This is where you draw all the information
together. Make sure your conclusions regarding the topic and the
available literature, are organised in a logical order. Be sure that you
justify your conclusions from the literature.
Suitable themes include, but are not limited to:
the impact of gender on negotiation [see, for
example, Fells (2016: 18-19)]
personality [see, for example, Fells (2016: 16-17)] cultural difference [see, for example, Lewicki,
Barry and Saunders (2010:460-465)] power and e-negotiations (see Ebner).
