Selecting an Organization


· You are required to select a reputable organization in your country related to tourism industry (ex. Hotels, rent car companies, restaurants, beach resorts, airlines, etc.). Selected organization should be a significant player in the industry in which you plan to work or already work for.




· Because one requirement for the assignment is to interview at least one member of the organization, it can be convenient to select an organization in the area, but it is not essential. Interviews can be conducted by phone.



Analyzing the Organization




1)

You should use publicly available information to begin your analysis: the organization's Web site is often the best starting point. Remember, however, that you are using the Web site as a source of data for the analysis; do not simply copy material off the Web site. Your assignment is an analysis, not a data-dump.

(N.B. You should arrange with your tutor in order to verify that no other student had selected the same business organization for the TMA).




2)

You will need to contact at least one member of the organization (either a current member or one who has recently left it). It can be very useful to make an initial contact with your informant early in the research process, to ensure that the person is indeed willing to talk with you. You will find the informant most useful, however, after you have done the preliminary work with the publicly available materials.
