Hi, You can choose the topics like- ROI, Attrition, Global Market Trends, New Challenges In Acquisition & Merging.

Please focuse on comparative studies of 2 organizations. Or do research on Welfare, compansations and Retranchment, others would be Organization Development.

i'm doin my M.A. specialization in industrial Psychology... this is my 2nd yr. n in that i'm deceding to do my project on attrition n retention strategies... so can any one help me in my project?.. can any one guide me how i can do my project???
need ur valuable suggestions......

Swathy,
Attrition is a favourite topic of Students...not a preferred by others, since the trends are very generic in nature and cannot be share with others since the content is the right of the company. Consider topic which are recent trends of development in the industry, consider your passion too. Topics like ESOPs, you will not get companies data since confidential in nature. Topics in Training have become a house hold name now.
One of the big debate in HR today is " Value creation by HR Professional in Business". You can look at this topic. "Challenges in Managing Cross Culture diversity" is another topic since companies are going global in sales & acquiring companies around the world. "Diversity Management" is another topic which is hot. Not many dare to take this since their knowledge is less on this.

Dear Mr.Ranganathan V
I am currently a final year MBA student specialising in HR. I was scouting Cite HR for Dissertation topics when i came across your post.
I am very intrigued and interested in the topic suggested by you - Value Creation by HR professionals in Business.
The only thing holding me back is your well founded caution about unavailability of confidential data.
However I feel this is an interesting topic which has been constantly debated. I would like to talk to you further on this but I cannot locate your email address.
I would really want to know the viability of proceeding with such a research topic
Awaiting your reply
Warm Regards
Kritika
