This capstone unit integrates the business and management concepts introduced in previous units and applies these in a management approach for the hospitality and tourism industries. The unit develops and emphasises the comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying the process of strategic management and the role of strategy in matching an organisation's competencies with its environments. Concepts in the analysis and development of strategies for hospitality and tourism organisations are applied to real world problems. This unit endeavours to develop critical analysis and decision making abilities for future managers in our fast growing industries.

Students attend a weekly seminar. This unit is also available online. The teaching and learning approach is enhanced through in-class or online discussions and experiential workshops where the skills of working effectively with others (specifically team working, task collaboration and working productively with people from diverse cultures), communicating effectively and the ability to generate ideas are emphasised. Practical industry focused case studies are used to provide students with the opportunity to develop selected theses of the unit, including awareness and understanding of sustainability, through research and critical analysis. This unit also applies engaged teaching and learning where guest speakers provide students with industry relevant information and networking opportunities. Students are required to complete individual items which are assessed for quality academic and professional standards, including written communication (structure, language and conventions), oral communication, ability to work effectively with others, critical analysis (depth of thought, development of argument, logical analysis and insight), depth and breadth of coverage, the ability to research effectively using both contemporary academic and industry sources.
