The module is delivered over a 15-week semester period. The teaching and learning programme is structured upon 12 lectures, 12 group tutorial/seminar sessions and 4 presentations from industry professionals. The programme also consists of a weekly directed study and 2 weeks to undertake presentations. A dedicated moodle (VLE) site is used to support the programme of study. Each taught input uses a variety of methods including lectures, group discussions and activities in order to foster active and collaborative student learning. In order to promote active and collaborative student learning each taught element will use a variety of different teaching methods ranging from lectures, seminars, group discussions and presentations from staff and industry professionals. The module will also incorporate the use of case studies to help students relate practice to theory and encourage problem solving and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, directed reading and workshops will be used to encourage more deeper learning, The module assessment encourages students to undertake research and to take responsibility for their own and fellow colleagues learning.

There are two components to this assessment; Component A and Component B. Students will undertake both parts of this project individually and they must apply management theory and problem-solving and academic research skills to their projects. Component A involves students undertaking a management accounting technique known as capital investment appraisal which will be submitted in week 6. Component B involves students undertaking the role of a consultant and will provide a 3,500 word consultancy report which identifies, evaluates and resolves hospitality managerial issues and challenges that are related to a hypothetical underperforming hotel. The hypothetical hotel is in the form of a case study which will be presented to you by your local tutor. Students will aim to restructure existing practices within the hotel and suggest ways in which it can become a sustainable and successful organisation.
|
Students are required to submit a 10 minute presentation that focusses on the structure and content of Assessment B – Part 2. This is a summative assessment that does not have any weighting. However, the summative assignment is in place to ensure that each student starts their assessment at a reasonable time and also receives valuable feedback from their tutor to ensure that they are approaching the assessment adequately.
