Your task
Individually, you are required to create a problem-solving matrix that interprets and investigates the
inte
elationship of the human resource, financial, and product and markets contexts.
Assessment Description
The purpose of this individual assessment is to develop students skills in analysing the structure and
functions of hospitality and tourism management. This will enable students to understand the different
types of business management issues that can arise in the hospitality and tourism operational contexts.
Assessment Instructions
Your first task in this assessment is to read the following hypothetical problems:
Problem 1: An external booking platform indicates inco
ect room rates and included amenities
for your hotel during the busiest period of the year.
Problem 2: Over the past few months, the front office department in your hotel experienced high
staff turnover rates, and your hotel is about to host the biggest conference of the year.
Problem 3: The recent quarterly statement of the housekeeping department indicates a rapid
increase in the use of linen despite having low occupancy levels.
Your next task is to identify the central issue in each of the problems by allocating a tick and a
ief
explanation in the relevant quadrant of the problem-solving matrix. You are then required to consider
how each of the problems inte
elates with other hospitality and tourism contexts by listing the potential
implications of the identified issue in the remaining of quadrants. Your final task is to propose an
appropriate framework or concept that we’ve covered in weeks 2 to 5 to address the identified issue in
each of the contexts. In creating the problem-solving matrix, you are to use the following format:
Problem Solving Matrix Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3
The human resource context
The financial context
The product and markets context
