Assignment
In this SLP assignment you will be addressing both A and B
below:
Prepare a SWOT analysis table of the King Company, with
emphasis on the HR department.
For your SWOT analysis table, develop statements of the
company’s internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and
threats with emphasis on HRM. Submit at
least five pertinent entries in each category.
Write a 2- to 3-page analysis (plus a cover page and
reference page) that further explains your SWOT table. Keep in mind that HR
functions do not work in isolation. Just
as HR activities are affected by organizational issues, the activities carried
out by HR will affect the entire organization.
Bring in information from at least two Trident library
sources to help strengthen and validate your discussion.
For instruction on writing papers, citing sources, proper

SLP Assignment Expectations
Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in
the SLP rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully address all aspects
of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely using
sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level
analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions,
and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the
formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic
with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized, and
well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for
graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and
synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is
justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct
quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does the submission demonstrate
that the student has read, understood and can apply the background materials
for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research,
as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?) sources? Do
additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do
they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding
of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased
text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references
used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research)
been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the
paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC
(Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
