Hospitality Management ZAA240
Introduction
This unit explores services provided in the hospitality industry. You will investigate topics such as the scope of hospitality operations, contemporary trends, management and supervisory approaches, and implementation of service practices. This unit provides you with a general understanding of the hospitality industry including how to enhance and manage the customer service experience and prepares you for further study in the field of hospitality management.
In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.
You will be introduced to:
- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences
- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice
- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.
You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual.
