Your CEO has asked each departmental head to undertake a critical review of their systems, processes and practices as part of a major organisational change agenda.

To provide the basis for your report, you have been asked to conduct a critical review of information sources relevant to the area of practice. You should:
- Select an area of HR/business practice and give the reason for your choice
- Undertake a critical review of different information sources (at least four) e.g. research digests, academic and professional literature, online databases, key texts relevant to the selected area of practice.
