MGDI 60151 Human Resource Development: Key Conceptshe total Length should not exceed 1000-words (excluding references) Assignments should be submitted ONLINE via TurnitinAbout this AssignmentThe main purpose of this assignment is to help improve students’ study and writing skills. It is intended, therefore, to provide an opportunity for guidance to students on how to meet the standards expected on their Master's degree programme. The assessment is formative is nature and the emphasis is essentially to help study fellows change their academic behaviours, where necessary by providing adequate information regarding what the they have done right or otherwise.
Your Task
The contemporary environment within which human resource development (HRD) is practiced is changing and this has implications for how HRD is understood and interpreted. Globalisation and the ideas of the learning society and knowledge-based economy have led to an increasing emphasis on high skills and a growing interconnectedness of societies. The influence of these issues on organisations and societies are wide-ranging, diverse, and creates complex and shifting contexts for HRD theory and policy.
Drawing on what you have learned in this course so far, and from your independent study, critically explore the changing meaning of HRD in contemporary contexts, highlighting the importance of the concept in advancing socio-economic and human development, especially in the global South. Provide policy suggestions on how these contributions can be better enhanced.
