These may take the form of case studies demonstrations or technical reports. Such papers may be judged on the basis of the following criteria: 1) Relevance of the themes addressed. Are issues addressed timely? Is the topic addressed important worth discussion or investigation? Are the issues relevant to business management and practice? Are the issues clearly articulated? 2) Literature review Does the paper demonstrate a current understanding of the current literature? Does the paper cite relevant literature appropriately? Is proper credit provided for the work cited? If not you can offer some important references which the author may have missed. Are the number of references adequate? You could recommend some references you deem important that the author could refer. 3) Methodology Is the research design valid? Are sampling and data collection procedures used appropriate? Are the data measures appropriate? Are findings clearly reported? 4) Contribution Does the paper make meaningful contribution to the business practice? Is the length of the paper commensurate with its contribution? Is the author aware of other competing alternatives or perspectives? Does it show an awareness of the practical implications? 5) Limitations Does the paper clearly outline the limitations of its application? Does the author demonstrate an awareness of the areas where the paper may raise controversy or doubt? If so, does the author address how these controversies could be mitigated from the outcome of the study? 6) Conclusion Are the conclusions clearly outlined? Does the conclusion tie together all the elements of the paper? Theory based papers These will generally lay more emphasis on generalizing concepts or proposing new models that are systematically referenced against other schools of thought. For these papers the literature part is very vital. The papers could be evaluated on the following basis: 1) Relevance of the themes addressed. Are issues addressed timely? Is the topic addressed important worth discussion or investigation? Are the issues relevant to business management and practice?

The research should be based on systematic data collection and analysis. It may involve the practical testing of a theory.

Does the author demonstrate an awareness of the areas where the paper may raise controversy or doubt? If so, does the author address how these controversies could be mitigated from the outcome of the study? 6) Conclusion Are the conclusions clearly outlined? Does the conclusion tie together all the elements of the paper? Theory based papers These will generally lay more emphasis on generalizing concepts or proposing new models that are systematically referenced against other schools of thought. For these papers the literature part is very vital. The papers could be evaluated on the following basis: 1) Relevance of the themes addressed. Are issues addressed timely? Is the topic addressed important worth discussion or investigation? Are the issues relevant to business management and practice? Are the issues clearly articulated? 2) Literature review Does the paper demonstrate a current understanding of the current literature? Does the paper cite relevant literature appropriately? Is proper credit provided for the work cited? If not you can offer some important references which the author may have missed. Is the number of references adequate? You could recommend some references you deem important that the author could refer. 3) Contribution Does the paper make meaningful contribution to the business practice? Is the length of the paper commensurate with its contribution? Is the author aware of other competing alternatives or perspectives? Does it show an awareness of the practical implications? 4) Limitations Does the paper clearly outline the limitations of its application? Does the author demonstrate an awareness of the areas where the paper may raise controversy or doubt? If so, does the author address how these controversies could be mitigated from the outcome of the study? 5) Conclusion Are the conclusions clearly outlined? Does the conclusion tie together all the elements of the paper? Research based papers These should be based on reporting of original research findings. The research should be based on systematic data collection and analysis. It may involve the practical testing of a theory. The judgment should be based on the following criteria. 1) Relevance of the themes addressed. Are issues addressed timely? Is the topic addressed important worth discussion or investigation? Are the issues relevant to business management and practice? Are the issues clearly articulated? 2) Literature review Does the paper demonstrate a current understanding of the current literature? Does the paper cite relevant literature appropriately? Is proper credit provided for the work cited? If not you can offer some important references which the author may have missed. Is the number of references adequate? You could recommend some references you deem important that the author could refer. 3) Methodology Is the research design valid? Are sampling and data collection procedures used appropriate? Are the data measures appropriate? Are findings clearly reported? 4) Hypotheses Are hypotheses stated clearly? Are the tests used appropriate? Are research questions appropriate and clearly outlined? 5) Contribution Does the paper make meaningful contribution to the business practice? Is the length of the paper commensurate with its contribution? Is the author aware of other competing alternatives or perspectives? Does it show an awareness of the practical implications? 6) Limitations Does the paper clearly outline the limitations of its application? Does the author demonstrate an awareness of the areas where the paper may raise controversy or doubt? If so, does the author address how these controversies could be mitigated from the outcome of the study? 7) Conclusion Are the conclusions clearly outlined? Does the conclusion tie together all the elements of the paper? However, the peer reviewers should not feel constrained to these areas only, they should have the freedom to make recommendations on basis of other additional criteria provided they give details.Invalid data type in setData: Authors are required to pay an Article Submission Fee as part of the submission process to contribute to review costs.Invalid data type in setData: Article SubmissionInvalid data type in setData: Globalization has a major impact on the management of human resources in developing countries including Kenya. It has led to homogenization and convergence in organization strategies, structures and processes as well as in consumer choice. With accelerating globalization, organizations have had to change and new trends have set in even in the management of human resources. Globalization has led to changes in organization design and organization structures are leaner thus improving efficiency but having a negative impact on staff numbers which have had to be reduced. This means employees have been retrenched in many sectors like telecommunications, the Kenya Railways and the Kenya public service sectors in order for those organizations to gain competitive advantage. Reward management systems have changed and even the human resource planning strategy is to have a leaner staff in the core areas and to hire part time workers in a bid to reduce costs and to enable the business to run profitably and efficiently. The non-core jobs have been outsourced which has led to an increase in independent contractors to service industries. However, the homogeneity that results from globalization has had a major effect in developing countries because of brain drain. Globalization can therefore be said to have had a phenomenal impact on a developing economy like Kenya that is both positive and negative as explored in the paper.Invalid data type in setData: Impact of Globalization on the Human Resource Management Function in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Kenya Public CorporationsInvalid data type in setData: Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologyInvalid data type in setData: Invalid data type in setData: GachungaInvalid data type in setData: HGInvalid data type in setData: enInvalid data type in setData: Invalid data type in setData: Invalid data type in setData: 0Invalid data type in setData: 0Invalid data type in setData: 0Invalid data type in setData: Invalid data type in setData: AJOLInvalid data type in setData: Welcome to African Journals Online (AJOL)!
