This capstone unit integrates the business and management concepts introduced in previous units and applies these in a management context 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 need to have passed either TSM2111 Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism OR HOS2110 Food and Beverage Management before enrolling into this unit.

The teaching and learning approach is enhanced through in-class and online discussions using practical, industry-focused case studies, where the skills of working effectively with others, communicating effectively and the ability to generate ideas for business innovations are emphasised. 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, critical analysis (depth of thought, development of argument, logical analysis and insight), depth and breadth of coverage, and the ability to research effectively using both contemporary academic and industry sources.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
