The subject of your research paper this week is to discuss the differences between diversity and multiculturalism as
well as to discuss the pros and cons of diversity in the workplace. Remember, this is not an opinion piece but a
scholarly work supported with credible references and sources from your research. Topics of discussion may include
recruiting, selection, pay and benefits, retention, affirmative action, and any other areas that pertain to
strategic HRM in the workplace.
The research assignment this week is worth 20% of your final grade. The assignment is due Sunday, 11:59 PM EST and
should be submitted as an MS Word attachment in either a .doc, .docx, or .rtf format. Your paper should be a minimum
of eight (8) full pages of double spaced work in 12 point font. You should include a minimum of five (5) references
or sources in a properly APA formatted Reference section at the end of your paper. Include an abstract, properly
formatted APA cover page with each written assignment. Your paper should analyze the readings from the text and from
your research into the subject of study. You are expected to conduct outside research aside from the text to support
your ideas, arguments, and opinions. Discussions of key concepts, and a critical analysis of the research is
required. Remember you are to critically analyze the data you find. Merely copying pasting and citing sources does
not constitute scholarly writing. You must present ideas and positions and support or refute those arguments with
credible references and sources.
