Introduction
The aim of this unit is to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the hospitality industry, gaining insight into how hospitality organisations function within the wider business environment.
There are four learning outcomes to this unit:
∙ Examine the current structure, scope and size of the hospitality industry
∙ Explore current and anticipated skills requirements in the hospitality industry
∙ Review the internal and external factors that impact the hospitality industry and how they relate to current issues facing the hospitality industry
∙ Analyse the current and potential trends and developments affecting the hospitality industry
Using relevant information, theories and examples, you need to participate in the different activities which will describe the different types of business within the hospitality industry and the diverse products and services they offer, examine a range of operational and functional departments of different hospitality organisations, discuss the contribution of the hospitality industry to local, national and international economies, investigate a range of different operational roles within the hospitality industry, examine the skills required for roles within the hospitality industry and current skills shortages, assess the political, economic, social, technological, legislative and environmental factors that affect the development of organisations operating within the hospitality industry, undertake a SWOT analysis for a hospitality business and review how this can inform the decision-making process and appraise the implications of current and potential trends in the hospitality industry providing a range of specific examples. It would be good to use current examples from the UK hospitality related organisations (i.e., hotels, restaurant, bar, pubs, etc.) to support your work.
To succeed in this unit, you are required to follow the scenario provided and complete all the required assessment criteria. Your submissions should demonstrate your understanding of how your research links coherently to these aspects of The Contemporary Hospitality Industry. Any work submitted should include evidence of your research with references (Harvard Referencing)
Submission Format
|
This submission will be in the form of an individual report.
The recommended length of this submission is 3,500- 4,000 words, although you will not be penalised for exceeding 4,000 words.
Where appropriate, learning theory and additional research must be used, and referenced according to the Harvard Referencing system. The work must include a bibliography for all referenced work using the Harvard referencing system.

Assignment Brief and Guidance
|
Scenario and Activity:
You have been employed as a business consultant specialised in the hospitality industry by a group of investors who wish to enter the hospitality market. Your role is to present them with a report which will provide a detailed analysis of the industry so that they can make an informed choice about where they should invest their money and the various challenges that potentially exist for them. Your report should be written in three parts.
Part A
In the first part of your report, you need to analyse how global growth, franchising and licensing have contributed to the economic worth of the hospitality industry in local, national and international economies. Within this analysis you should address the different business types within the hospitality industry and the diverse products and services they offer, together with a review of the interrelationships of the different operational and functional units within a chosen hospitality business.
Part B
In the second part of your report, you will analyse the impact skill gaps have in the hospitality industry with reference to specific operational roles, providing valid solutions for addressing these skill gaps. You will have to select a range of specific operational job roles and present an analysis of each role. In the analysis, you will provide a detailed analysis of the skills required in the hospitality industry.
Part C
In the third part of your report, you must critically evaluate how external factors (political, economic, social, technological, legislative and environmental) have an impact on potential trends and developments in the hospitality industry. In addition, you need to conduct a SWOT analysis of a specific hospitality business, showing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that exist. You need to demonstrate how the business can develop products and services in response.

Assessment Criteria
GRADING DETAILS
Achievement of a pass grade
A pass grade is achieved by meeting all the requirements defined in the PASS assessment criteria for each individual unit.
Achievement of a merit grade
All the PASS assessment criteria and MERIT grade criteria need to be completed within a unit to achieve a merit grade.
Achievement of a distinction grade
All the PASS assessment criteria, MERIT and DISTINCTION criteria must be completed within a unit to achieve a distinction grade.
ALL GRADES ARE PROVISIONAL UNTIL INTERNALLY VERIFIED AND UNTIL EXTERNALLY CERTIFIED BY EDEXCEL.
THIS MEANS THAT A GRADE CAN BE CHANGED AT ANY POINT UNTIL EDEXCEL CERTIFIES IT
As per Pearson policy, you are only allowed two submissions per module. One for final submission and another one for referral. Failure to achieve a grade pass after a second submission will result in you having to repeat the module in the next term.
Any re-submission or late submission (unless authorised due to mitigating circumstances) will be capped at a PASS grade only.

Harvard referencing system. The words used in your bibliography will not be included in your word count.
Extension and Late Submission
If an extension is necessary for a valid reason, requests must be made in writing using a course work extension request form to the head of department. Please note that the lecturers do not have the authority to extend the coursework deadlines and therefore do not ask them to award a coursework extension.
The completed form must be accompanied by evidence such as a medical certificate in the event of you being sick.
Plagiarism and Collusion
Any act of plagiarism and collusion will be seriously dealt with according to the regulations. In this context, the definition and scope of plagiarism are presented below:
‘Plagiarism occurs when a student misrepresents, as his/her own work, the work, written or otherwise, of any other person (including another student) or of any institution. Examples of forms of plagiarism include
[1]
:
∙ the verbatim (word for word) copying of another’s work without appropriate and correctly presented acknowledgement;
∙ the close paraphrasing of another’s work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation, without appropriate and correctly presented acknowledgement;
∙ unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another’s work;
∙ The deliberate and detailed presentation of another’s concept as one’s own.’
All types of work submitted by students are covered by this definition, including, written work, diagrams, designs, engineering drawings and pictures.
‘Collusion occurs when, unless with official approval (e.g. in the case of group projects), two or more students consciously collaborate in the preparation and production of work which is ultimately submitted by each in an identical, or substantially similar, form and/or is represented by each to be the product of his or her individual efforts. Collusion also occurs where there is unauthorised co-operation between a student and another person in the preparation and production of work which is presented as the student’s own.’ (’Carroll, J and Appleton, J. (2001) Plagiarism – A Good Practice Guide. Oxford Brookes University/JISC, Oxford)
All submissions for assessment must be submitted on Moodle in order to generate a Turnitin Report on plagiarism. The maximum Turnitin score admissible is 15% but a submission can be referred with a lower score depending on the size of the submission and size of the text highlighted for similarity. Assignments with high similarity will be automatically referred for reworking and resubmission.
Including pictures of text or any other type of information (diagram for example) when created by the student will trigger an automatic referral.
Any student might be called to seat through a viva with the lecturer to confirm any parts of the module through an interview which will then form part of the summative assessment.
To access any feedback (formative/summative) you will have to access Moodle and open your assignment. You will have to click on the blue comment box in the righthand side and the feedback will appear within the text. You might have to click on the blue bubbles to see the feedback.
