Ask would they describe Bill as a “good” manager or a “bad” manager. Why? Procedure:Review the Do Now. Answers may include: No - because not listening to employee, no because disciplined him in public area. Yes - he was direct and to the point.Show students a picture of an assembly line in a car manufacturing factory. Ask them what they think a manager would have to do to successfully operate an assembly line? Answers may include: coordinate people, equipment, and money so that businesses can create goods or provide services.How would you define management?Management: The process of deciding how best to use a business’s resources to produce goods or provide services. A business’s resources include its employees, equipment and money.All organizations need managers.Small businesses may have one or a fewLarger companies may have many levels of managementManagers: persons who directly supervise, support, and help activate work efforts to achieve the performance goals of individuals, teams, or even an organization as a whole. Show a picture of McDonald’s in Russia. Explain that McDonald’s is one of many U.S. companies that have branches outside of the U.S. What challenges do you think McDonald’s managers face in setting up an American fast food restaurant in a foreign country?Answers may include understanding local eating habits and adopting the menu to them, learning where to buy foods, and working with new employees to develop common business practices.Go back to the automobile industry example. Ask students what they think are the roles management plays in this scenario?Some managers on the assembly line schedule work shifts and supervise men and women who manufacture and assemble the vehicles.Other managers in the engineering department develop new product features and make sure that safety standards are met.Managers also plan for the future thinking about the vehicles the company will be producing in the next decade.Without management, business could not be conducted in an efficient manner.Levels of managersSupervisory Management (First-Line Managers): Lowest level of managementMake sure day-to-day operations of the business run smoothlyIn charge of the people who physically produce the company’s goods or provide its servicesIn charge of people who perform non managerial dutiesTitles: forepersons, crew leaders, store managers, team leader, supervisor, department headMiddle Management:In charge of relatively large departments or divisions consisting of several smaller work units or teamsSets goals for specific areas of the business and decides what employees in each area must do to reach those goalsSupervise first-line managersGet direction from senior managementBecause of their position “in the middle” - they must work well with people from all parts of the organizationTitles: directors, deans, division managers, plant managers, regional sales managersEx: Senior management set a goal of increasing company sales by 15% in the next year. To meet that objective, middle management might develop a new advertising campaign for one of the company’s products.Senior Management (Top Managers):Highest level of managementFunctions - establishes goals for the company, decides how to achieve those goals, and how to use company’s resourcesNot involved with day to day operationsTitles: Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Senior Vice PresidentWhat happens if the top managers are not fulfilling their obligations? Who keeps CEOs and other senior managers ethical and high performing?Board of Directors:Oversee the affairs of the organization and the performance of top managementGovernance - the oversight of top management by a board of directors or board of trusteesIn business corporations - members are elected by stockholders to represent their ownership interestsIn nonprofit organizations (ex: hospital or university) - top managers report to a board of trustees elected by local citizens, appointed by government bodies, or invited to serve by existing membersShow clip from movie “Office Space”. Ask would they describe Bill as a good manager, based on what we’ve learned about management responsibilities. Explain your answer.Closure:When people are promoted to become managers, they often end up supervising friends and colleagues. Put yourself in this situation. As a new manager of a team full of friends, what can and should you do to quickly earn the respect of others and build a smoothly functioning work team?This is an important question for them to start thinking about because this is the situation they will be encountering if they are in a management position when they take Virtual Enterprise.LESSON PLANUnit: Management TodayLesson 2: Hospitality and TourismAim: What are the hospitality and tourism industries? Objectives: Students will be able to:Define Hospitality and TourismExplain the importance of hospitality and tourismUnderstand the concept of a product as a serviceThe service factorProduct variablesInstructional Materials:Smart BoardTeacher made hand-outsMotivation: What is your favorite place that you have visited? List 3 reasons why.Procedure:Review the Do Now. Make a list on the board of their favorite locations and their rationale. As you discuss the Do Now, start to circle all of the reasons that are not tangible. This will lead you into the definitions of goods, services and products.In hospitality and tourism, most products are services. Simple to think that hotels sell rooms and restaurants provide food but no guest will return to a hotel or restaurant unless the service provided is quality service.Ask students - Have you ever had an experience where you encountered bad service? Did you return to the facility?We know that hospitality and tourism have the service factor in common. What sets them apart? Hospitality - a group of businesses composed of establishments related to lodging and food-service management.Ex: hotels, motels, inns, Bed-and-Breakfasts (small unique inns that offer a full breakfast iht a night’s stay), casinos, restaurants, catering companies, hospitals, schools, etc.Tourism - a group of businesses that encompass travel/transportation vendors for air, rail, auto, cruise, and motor-coach travel, and promote travel and vacations.5 Industry SegmentsLodging (hotels, motels, b & bs, resorts)Food Service (quick service restaurants (QSR), catering companies, banquet facilities, fine-dining restaurants)Travel (cruise lines, rail service, car rentals, motor coach)Tourism (destination marketing organizations (DMO), convention and visitors bureau (CVB), tour operators, visitor centers)Sports and Entertainment Events (arens, arts centers, theaters, parks)All industry segments share a common characteristic…All rely on providing a quality service experience to the guest.When marketing the service side of the hospitality and tourism industries, you need to consider these variables (factors that can cause something to change or vary).Perishability - the probability of a product ceasing to exist or becoming unusable within a limited amount of time. Ex: Hotel needs to sell as many rooms each night as possible. Any vacant rooms cause lost revenue that cannot be recoveredEx: Restaurant orders 100 lbs of fish, customers do not order fish from the menu, owner will lose moneyIntangibility - a state of being abstract, as are things that cannot be touched.Hospitality services relate to memories and experiencesImpossible for people to sample or touchActual experience is intangibleChangeability - a condition of being subject to change or alteration.Ex: If a guest checks into a hotel and is disturbed by someone in the next room, their impression of the hotel will changeEx: Guest greeted by a rude hostess at restaurant**Service training for front-line personnel is essential to help eliminate changeability**Closure:Read the following information on Walt Disney World Resort. Answer the questions below.After the success of Disneyland Park walt Disney wanted to create a family destination grander than the Anaheim landmark. He bought acres and acres of land in Florida and started sketching out plans. His dream would be more than an amusement park - it would be an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” or EPCOT.Walt Disney died before his Florida project became a reality, but Walt Disney World Resort lives on as the materialization of his dream. In addition to the Magic Kingdom theme park, Walt DIsney World Resort houses three other theme parks, two water parks, hundreds of dining areas, and thousands of hotel rooms. It’s a massive complex on 47 square miles of land. Millions of tourists visit each year.Walt Disney World Resort works hard to ensure that millions do keep coming. DIsney’s marketers look for tourism trends in their target demographic group and then market to those potential customers. For example, Walt Disney World created their Magical Gatherings Program in 2003 to tap into the “togethering” trend. Disney executives first saw the trend developing on their cruise ships, where extended-family and friend groups traveled together. Today Disney provides a Magical Gatherings Planner on its Web site. Walt Disney World Resort is a good example of how hospitality and tourism can blend. What products does Walt Disney World Resort offer?It offers four theme parks, two water parks, hundreds of dining areas, and thousands of hotel rooms.How has Walt Disney World Resort tried to attract new tourists?It has focused on tourism trends that include the “togethering” trend, marketing and packaging tours on cruise ships with admission to the parks and extended-family and friend groups who travel together.

Thomas Cook Case Study – Read and analyze the following case study. Answer the questions related to the study. (5 points each) In 1934, farmer Walter Knott perfected the boysenberry – a hybrid, or combination, of the red raspberry, blackberry, and loganberry. He also operated a restaurant in Buena Park, California. To add to the restaurant’s offerings, his wife Cordelia served biscuits with preserves made from the new fruit. She then expanded the menu to include fried chicken dinners. By 1940, the Knott family restaurant was serving up to 4,000 customers on Sunday nights. Inspired by his customers’ need for entertainment and his affection for the Old West, Walter Knott then built a ghost town adjacent to the restaurant. He used relocated buildings from authentic ghost towns in the Southwest. The attraction grew through the 1950’s and 1960’s. In 1968, the family enclosed the restaurant and ghost town, renamed it Knott’s Berry Farm?, and began charging admission. Other history-themed sections were added. As a restaurant, Knott’s Berry Farm had a long history and loyal customers, but how would it fare as an amusement park with Disneyland? only 15 minutes away? Recognizing that Knott’s Berry Farm did not have to compete directly with Disneyland, the Knott family presented the park as a secondary southern California attraction – not as an alternative to the Magic Kingdom. To answer Disney’s Mickey Mouse, the Knott family licensed characters from the comic strip Peanuts to provide a theme for Camp Snoopy. This attraction was the very first theme park area to be made especially for children. Knott’s Berry Farm also constructed roller coasters and thrill rides which were not part of Disneyland. In the 1970’s, Knott’s Berry Farm opened the first double-corkscrew roller coaster and log-flume ride. Other innovations included seasonal events, such as the Halloween-themed Knott’s Scary Farm and Christmas-related Knott’s Merry Farm. Sold to the amusement park company Cedar Fair LP in 1997, the Knott’s Berry Farm remains a popular and profitable attraction to this day. 21. Describe the customer’s (Market Segment) of a Knott’s Berry Farm. Support your answer with information from the case study. 22. What characteristics differentiated Knott’s Berry Farm from Disneyland? 23. What innovations did Knott’s Berry Farm introduce that allowed it to compete with Disneyland? 24.

Ans: Planning can be done for various reasons:Planning provides a direction and a goal for the company: This is done by establishing objectives. Objectives define in a specific manner what is to be accomplished, when it should be accomplished and how to accomplish it. Without objectives there is little or no common path to pursue.Planning helps employees know what needs to be done: It is important that those involved in implementing the plan understand what is to be accomplished and why it is important to the company. This can be done by involving those key individuals that will implement the plan in the planning process and presenting the plan to all who will participate no matter what role they will play or what their position in the company.Planning aids the progress of reviewing and controlling: Objectives are used to establish milestones against which results can be evaluated and corrective actions taken. This is critical to recognizing problems before they cause serious damage.Planning improves time management: Planning allows managers to set priorities and to manage their time according to those priorities.Students may also include the following reasons:Planning improves focus and action orientation: Planning can help sharpen focus and increase flexibility, both of which improve performance. An organization with focus knows what it does best and what it needs to do.Planning improves coordination and control: It is hard to exercise control without planning objectives. Without control, plans may fail because of a lack of follow-through. With both, it is a lot easier to see when things are not going well and make the necessary adjustments.2.

Distinguish between strategic plans and operational plans. Ans: Strategic plans set broad, comprehensive, and longer-term directions for an organization. They address the question of how the organization’s objectives will be accomplished in the sense of what approach will be used.Operational plans are shorter-term means for putting the strategies into action. They contain specific activities and the schedules for completing them.UNIT PLANHospitality and ManagementUnit 5 Plan – Organizing SkillsTime Frame: 5 WeeksBrief Description of Unit:In this unit, students will be introduces to the value of organization for any well run business.
