Aim: The analysis of a chosen case study will form the basis of ongoing research and application of the theories of organisational behaviour. Students will examine behaviour patterns, will determine the effectiveness of organisational structures and consider what influence perceptions and motivation have on organisational success within the hospitality context. Students will be required to examine power structures and consider the internal politics of organisations, from the workings of teams through to the influence of specific leadership styles, as applicable. This assessment requires students to stretch their knowledge by making recommendations relevant to the case study outlined.
