Description of module content:

This module emphasises the asset and capital intensive nature of HTE operations, considering in particular the need for structured and coherent approaches towards the operation and management of property and associated facilities. The project development process is examined, together with related management issues such as alternative development strategies, investment appraisal, types of contract and operating models. The key components of risk inherent in operating HTE facilities are studied, as are common management and control strategies. Alternative approaches towards the operation and management of HTE facilities are examined, including extensive consideration of the principles entailed in the effective planning, implementation and monitoring of contracts and the management of energy and other environmental aspects. Throughout the module, comparisons and contrasts are constantly drawn between custom and practice in the public, private and not for profit sectors.

Before investing in a feasibility study for this project, however, the organisation would first like to compile a report that presents an overview of the benefits and limitations of a feasibility study and identifies any key issues or considerations that would need to be addressed in the subsequent study.

This may be either a completely new development, the renovation of an existing facility, or the provision of additional facilities and/or services.The report should be 1,500 (excluding appendices) (+/- 10%). Within the report, you must address the following:1. A brief overview of what is meant by a feasibility study and its role and purpose.2, A more detailed discussion of key issues and considerations that may arise within the first two stages of the property development process (e.g., concept and design; finance, market, and legislation).Your report must use relevant theory and concepts covered in the first half of the module (Lectures 1-5), should show evidence of engaging with academic literature, and evidence of analysis and critique.Remember that you are not undertaking the feasibility study itself (and therefore no primary data should be used!).Your work should be structured in a report format and therefore must include the following:• Cover page• All pages should be numbered, and a table of contents included • An introduction and conclusion• The body of the report should be referenced in APA 6 style and with a full reference list at the end of the report• Appendices (if needed)
