This study uses ethnographic portraits of hotel school managers to identify specific soft skills lacking in Cambodian hospitality students and to examine the complex obstacles that the managers face when providing soft skills education. In Cambodia, 30% of the population lives under the poverty line (“UNICEF Cambodia Statistics,” n.d.). Meanwhile, the service and hospitality sector has grown to represent 39% of the country’s real GDP share (“Growth in service sector brings more challenges,” n.d.), making it an attractive industry for young workers to find employment and improve livelihoods. However, the World Bank identifies that there is a gap in young Cambodian workers’ skills, especially soft skills (Brixi, Van Adams, D’Amico, & Krauss, 2012). The qualitative portraiture method is used in the study to lend a more detailed perspective on school challenges since the existing literature on the soft skills deficiency in Cambodia is largely quantitative in nature. For this portraiture study, managers from the Don Bosco Hotel School, the largest hotel school in Cambodia, were chosen as protagonists. The findings reveal that the main soft skills lacking in students are: responsibility, self-assessment, honesty, self-confidence, teamwork, and culture sensitization. The findings also show that major obstacles hotel school managers faced when educating students in soft skills are: high staff turnover, lack of role models, short duration of training programs, lack of nutrition, problems with students’ families, and a shortage of external exchange opportunities. By humanizing the dialogue beyond quantitative statistics, a richer and more meaningful ecosystem of information can emerge. With greater contextual understanding, stakeholders in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors can create more sustainable changes for Cambodian hospitality soft skills training.

Vad gör att eleverna känner sig anställningsbara efter Hotell & restaurangprogrammet, och vad tycker eleven är viktigast för att vara anställningsbar? Undersökningen har gjorts med hjälp av intervjuer med elever i årskurs tre på gymnasiets Hotell & Restaurangprogram. Respondenterna kommer från tre olika gymnasieskolor i sydöstra Sverige och är intervjuade några veckor innan de slutar sin utbildning. Eleverna anser att det viktigaste för anställningsbarheten är att vara trevlig, social, flexibel och anpassningsbar. På frågan om vad det är som gör att eleverna känner sig anställningsbara efter tre år på Hotell & Restaurangprogrammet anser de flesta att deras stora styrka är att de är trevliga och sociala.
What makes the students feel employable for Hotel & Restaurant program, and what the student thinks is most important to be employable? Survey has been conducted through interviews with students in grades three to upper secondary school Hotel & Restaurant Program. The respondents come from three different upper secondary schools in southeast Sweden and interviewed a few weeks before they finish their education. The students consider it important for employability is to be pleasant, sociable, flexible and adaptable. The question of what it is that makes students feel employable after three years in Hotel & Restaurant program, the majority of their great strength is that they are nice and social.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the feasibility of establishing a diversified hotel property fund (DHPF) on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. To be launched in 2005/2006, the proposed unit trust fund is made up of a diversified portfolio of hotels located throughout South Africa. Research suggests that Hotel Property Funds have traditionally been the most volatile of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with their share value largely dependent on hotel revenue. However, investing in HPFs and REITs have numerous advantages such as their stipulated 90% dividend-payout ratio, steady stream of cash flow and zero corporate income taxes. The Property Unit Trust sector in South Africa in 2003 realised annualised rates of returns of 39%, and furthermore, the economic outlook and hotel industry sector show promising signs with economic growth rates for 2004 and 2005 reaching 4% and 5% respectively. This study thus considers whether a hotel property fund will succeed in South Africa and what returns investors can expect. By drawing on empirical and primary research and lessons learnt from international best practices this ground-breaking report identifies and analyses key performance variables of HPFs and REITs and applies them to a South African context. These variables include; capital structure, investment strategy, risk and return, Net Asset Value (NA V) and initial public offerings (IPO's). The report establishes that there is no optimal capital structure for REITs and only when the market reacts to the issuance of debt can one tell if the REIT is favourably structured or not. Concerning investment strategy, investors are in general, often lured to a diversified portfolio, however this report suggests that there is no optimal strategy for investing in REITs. In addition, over a medium to long term, REIT performance is strong, while over the short term performance is varied impacting on investor strategy. In assessing risk and return it was concluded that including REIT shares in an already diversified portfolio, the maximum expected return for each given level of risk is increased, and the level of risk for each level of expected return is reduced. Furthennore, the performance of RElTs is not necessarily detennined by size or Net Asset Value and thus small and large REITs can offer investors similar returns. Finally, initial-day returns for industry lnitial Public Offerings (lPO's) easily outperfonn REIT lPO's. Similarly to RElTs, there are numerous advantages to Hotel REITs which include, unlocking and redeployment of capital, investment spread and risk reduction and the provision of synergies between counter cyclical performing properties. However, empirical research indicates that Hotel REITs prove to be the most volatile of REIT sectors. Hotel REITs differ enonnously from their parent group in terms of their revenue & earnings which are more diverse in source and are generated from short-tenn leases. As such. Hotel REITs are also considered to be more management intensive. As with REITs there is no evidence to suggest an optimal capital structure and with the envisaged 50% debt ratio, the DHPF could be considered to be following international best practices. Several drawbacks with Hotel REITs include the lowest dividend yield among all RElT sectors, high volatility in income earnings, sensitivity to upswings and downturns in the tourism market, large capital investments and fixed operating expenses for staff and infrastructure. However despite these obstacles and in answer to the research problem, the prospects of the DHPF succeeding in South Africa are very high indeed. The REIT and Hotel REIT markets have proved successful throughout major capital markets, providing investors with a multitude of benefits. South Africa's economic and tourism climate is very favourable. The Property Unit Trust (PUT) sector has performed immensely well and investors can expect a healthy return which, as shown, is considerably higher than other investments. Finally, the fund is being spearheaded by a high calibre DHPF management team, which is key to the listing and management of the fund.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die moontlikheid om 'n Diverse Hotel Eiendomsfonds (DHEF) op die Johannesburgse Aandelebeurs te loods. Die huidige aanvangsfase sal in 2005/2006 wees, en sal bestaan uit 'n portfolio van verskillende hotelle wat reg oor Suid-Afrika versprei is. Die navorsing toon dat hoteleiendomsfondse tradisioneel die mees veranderlikste van die Eiendoms Beleggings Trusts (EBT) was en dat die aandeel waarde hoogs afhanklik is van die hotel se inkomste. Nieteenstaande, het investering in DHEFs en EBTs 'n verskeidenheid van voordele soos die voorgeskrewe 90% dividend uitbetalingspersentasie, 'n bestendige kontantvloei en geen korporatiewe inkomstebelasting nie. Die eiendomsbeleggingsfondse sektor in Suid-Afrika het gedurende 2003 'n jaarlikse groei van 39% getoon, en verder beloof die ekonomiese uitkyk in die hotel bedryf om tussen 4% en 5% gedurende 2004 en 2005 onderskeidelik te groei. Gegewe die inligting, is die vraag dus of 'n hoteleiendomsfonds sukses kan behaal in Suid-Afrika en watter opbrengs beleggers kan verwag. Deur na primere empiriese navorsing, sowel as lesse wat geleer is deur beste internasionale praktyke, te bestudeer, identifiseer hierdie verslag sleutel prestasie veranderlikes van EBTs en DHEFs plaas dit in konteks van Suid-Afrika. Hierdie veranderlikes sluit in: kapitaaistruktuur, beleggingsstrategie, risiko en terugkeer, Bruto Bate Waarde (Net Assest Value) (BBW) sowel as aanvanklike openbare aanbod (Initial Public Offering) (AOA). Daar is bevind dat daar geen optimale kapitaalstruktuur vir DHEFs bereken kan word nie. Verder word aangetoon dat daar slegs bepaal kan word of EBTs se struktuur voordelig is wanneer die mark reageer op nuwe skuld wat aangegaan is. Wat beleggingsstrategie betref, is beleggers oor die algemeen meer aangetrokke tot 'n diverse portefeulje van beleggings. Hierdie verslag bevind egter dat daar geen optimale strategie is om in EBTs te bele nie. Daar word verder bevind dat medium- tot langtermyn opbrengste goed vertoon, terwyl prestasie oor die korttermyn wisselvallig is wat gevolglik 'n invloed op beleggers se strategie het. In waardering van risiko en wins, is dit bepaal dat die insluiting van EBT aandele in 'n diverse portfeulje, die maksimum verwagte opbrengs vir elke vlak van risiko verhoog en dat die vlak van fisiko vir elke vlak van die verwagte opbrengs verlaag word. Verder is daar bevind dat die prestasie van EBTs nie noodwendig bepaal word deur batewaarde of -groote nie en klein EBTs kan beleggers vergelykende opbrengste bied. Eerstedag opbrengs vir industriele AOAs presteer beter as die van EBTs. Soortgelyk aan EBTs is daar verskeie voordele aan hotel EBTs wat die ontsluiting en herontplooiing van kapitaal, beleggingsverspreiding en risikoverlaging insluit. Empiriese navorsing dui aan dat hotel EBT's die mees onstabiele van die EBT sektor is. Hotel EBT's verskil wesenlik van ander EBTs in terme van opbrengs en verdienste wat meer divers is in oorsprong en gegenereer word deur korttermyn huurkontrakte. Hotel EBTs word ook gesien as meer bestuursintensief. Net soos met EBTs is daar geen bewyse dat daar 'n optimale kapitaalstruktuur bestaan nie en met die verwagte 50% skuld verhouding, volg DHEF wereldwye beste praktyk. Daar is verskeie nadele aan hotel EBTs, insluitend die laagste dividenduitkeer onder alle EBT sektore, hoe vlakke van onstabiliteit in verdienste, sensitiwiteit vir opswaai en afloop in die toerismemark, groot kapitaalbelegging en hoe vaste operasionele uitgawes op werknemers en infrastruktuur. Die gevolgtrekking is dat ten spyte van negatiewe faktore, die vooruitsig dat DHEF in Suid-Afrika sal slaag, hoog is. Die EBT en hotel EBT mark het bewys dat dit suksesvol is in talle ander groot kapitaalmarkte wat beleggers met 'n verskeidenheid van voordele kan voorsien. Suid-Afrika se ekonomiese- en toerismevooruitsig is baie positief. Die Eiendoms Eenheids Fonds (EEF) sektor het goed vertoon en beleggers kan 'n gesonde opbrengs verwag wat, soos aangedui word, aansienlik hoer is as ander beleggings. Die fonds word gedryf deur 'n hoe kaliber bestuurspan wat krities is tot die notering en die bestuur van fondse.

Topic of this thesis is revitalisation of former joiner-specialised high school areal in Rousínov u Vyškova. Areal is located on flat grounds on Tyršova street in cadastral area of Rousínov u Vyškova near Sušil square, central and important area of town.

English abstract

 

 

The culture of hotel and restaurant work.

Dangerous for apprentices and students?

The study is based on a survey targeting 50 teachers at chef schools with good geographic distribution of 9 schools. Teachers answer questions on bullying and sexual harassment in the hotel and restaurant sector, and students practice shock in the meeting with the industry. Students face a hard and tough environment where it is expected that it will suffer a great deal of harassment and degrading treatment as part of a tradition. There seems to be a general but erroneous belief that the professional climate has improved. The study shows that this is not the case. The respondents replied that bullying is common in the industry, and 92% of vocational teachers indicated that students are affected by a practice shock. The study shows that the industry climate has to be tough, but it is stated at the same time be too tough. Schools management lacks understanding and insight into the unique professional culture that prevails.

Sammanfattning

 

Yrkeskulturen  i hotell och restaurangbranschen.

En fara för lärlingar och elever?

 

Studien grundar sig  på en enkätundersökning riktad mot 50 yrkeslärare med god geografisk spridning på 9 skolor. Lärarna svarar på frågor om  mobbning och sexuella trakasserier i hotell och restaurangbranschen samt elevernas praktikchock i mötet med branschen. Eleverna står inför en hård och tuff miljö där det förväntas att man skall utstå mycket mobbning och kränkande behandling som en del av en tradition. Det tycks råda en allmän men felaktig uppfattning om att branschklimatet blivit bättre, studien visar att så inte är fallet. De tillfrågade yrkeslärarna svarade att mobbing är vanligt förekommande i branschen och 92% av yrkeslärarna uppger att elever drabbas av en praktikchock. Studien visar att  branschklimatet måste vara tufft men det uppges samtidigt vara  allt för tufft. Skolornas ledning saknar förståelse och insikt i den särpräglade branschkulturen som råder.

The hospitality industry in Taiwan is experiencing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. For decades, the industry has been growing rapidly, but the sudden decreases in visitor growth has led to increased competition among hotels. To attract more international guests, hoteliers have started to manage their online reputations by responding to online reviews. In this study, we analyzed online customer reviews and the responses of 31 hotels. A clear trend was observed: hotels are putting more resources into online management responses. We also interviewed ten hotels to learn how they manage these responses, what challenges they face in responding to online customer reviews, and how they use online reviews for other management purposes. We found that most hotels in the case study manage customer responses reactively rather than proactively; they lack strategic goals and methods for evaluating ROI. We also found that executive involvement and the hotel's internal communication style affect how customer responses can be used as a tool to improve the service-recovery process. Using online customer as a source of employee performance evaluation and linking customer feedback to encouragement scheme are also found in some hotels' practice. Future studies should further investigate how hotels' internal communication styles and response strategies and behavior affect service-recovery and customer loyalty. The use of online customer reviews to help improve other aspects of management such as human resource management is also suggested to be studied.

The application of systemic principles to a consultancy model was explored, using the systemic problem-solving methodologies developed in Britain by Burden (1978, 1981, 1983) and Checkland (1981). It is argued that, in addition to the traditional role of the educational psychologist as a child and family psychologist, the role of the educational psychologist should be extended to include a function as a consultant to social systems. The focus of the intervention was the children in the junior-primary section of a boarding-school. A team of consultants was formed for the duration of the intervention. The team comprised of key members from the system and the novice educational psychologist, with the academic supervisor acting as an outside consultant. The analysis focused on rules and patterns. Patterns of communication, support, isolation and problem-solving were highlighted. The intervention focused on structural changes. Structural changes, attitudinal changes and the process itself were evaluated. Agreement by consensus was used as a measure of change. Consensus was reached that the model had impacted positively on the problem-solving skills of the team and the previous isolation of team members. However limited news of difference was found in relation to the children. This was connected to the fact that many of the changes had not been implemented fully or for a sufficient period of time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevance of the curriculum offered by universities of technology hotel schools in South Africa, in preparing students to be able to open and operate commercial restaurants successfully after graduation. Data for this research were obtained making use of qualitative and quantitative research. The researcher conducted interviews with restaurateurs throughout South Africa to determine what skills and knowledge would be required to ensure that students who graduated with their National Diploma in Hospitality Management: Food and Beverage (NDHM: FB), would be able to open and operate a sustainable and profitable commercial restaurant. The information obtained from these interviews was used to draw up a questionnaire, completed by third year students who hoped to graduate at the end of the year, sampled from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Hotel School (known as the Cape Town Hotel School) and the Central University of Technology Hotel School. The questionnaire was designed to measure the students’ perceptions of their competencies in various areas i.e. of their skills and knowledge to open and run a successful commercial restaurant. The results revealed that, in general, the third year students did consider themselves to have the necessary skills and knowledge. The researcher recommends that hotel schools at Universities of Technology introduce more entrepreneurship and incubation programmes to provide more opportunities for graduates to open their own restaurants.

Die fokus van hierdie artikel is om hoërskoolleerders in koshuise te bemagtig om seksuele misbruik te kan aanmeld. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes is gebruik om te bepaal oor watter kennis die leerders beskik rakende die aanmelding van seksuele misbruik. Op grond hiervan word aanbevelings gemaak om dit vir hoërskoolleerders in koshuise moontlik te maak om seksuele misbruik aan te meld. Verskeie vrae is in fokusgroepe bespreek. Die vrae het gehandel oor wat seksuele misbruik is en deur wie en by wie en waar dit aangemeld moet word. Die aanbevelings wat gemaak word, sal genoemde leerders help om seksuelemisbruik–gevalle meermale aan te meld, aangesien hulle volledig ingelig sal wees oor wat seksuele misbruik is en wat dit impliseer. Verder sal hulle ten slotte ook weet wie dit moet aanmeld en by wie en waar.

This study tests a model of Workgroup Service Innovativeness that proposes that a workgroup’s climate for innovation mediates the relationship between organizational context (using the constructs: Organizational Climate and Task Design) and workgroup context (Group Self-efficacy, Group Citizenship Behaviour, and Market Orientation) on the one hand, and, Workgroup Service Innovativeness on the other. Drawing upon workgroup innovation literature, six hypotheses were derived. Using the hotel industry as an example of a service industry, quantitative data were collected from 303 participants from four hotels in Melbourne, Australia, through a 64-item questionnaire based on established 7-point Likert scales. This was followed by five in-depth interviews with team leaders from the participating hotels to gauge differences on the variables under study between workgroups perceived to be innovative and those perceived to be non-innovative. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation models were employed to test the slightly modified measures’ psychometric properties and test the hypotheses. Except for Organizational Climate, results confirmed the proposed model. But, based on a better data-fitting model, it emerged that the direct impact of Organizational Climate on Workgroup Service Innovativeness is stronger than the hypothesized indirect impact through Workgroup Climate for Innovation. Also, except for Task Design, it appears that the other variables have both direct and indirect effects on Workgroup Service Innovativeness. The qualitative data was generally supportive of the quantitative findings. Several implications for organizational management are explored, including the need for management to convey to all workgroups in the organization that innovation is valued and support is available for workable customer service improvement ideas. They should motivate workgroups to be innovative by focusing on creativity and innovation as important performance outcomes, rather than only on productivity. Overall, management will promote a climate for innovation, by: •Providing an innovation-supportive organizational climate •Jobs high on skill variety, task identity, significance, self-management and feedback •Cultivating group self-efficacy, market orientation and group citizenship behaviours This eventually should not only promote a climate for innovation, but also promote Workgroup Service Innovativeness itself. Among the several limitations of the present research, a major limitation is that it suffers from the common deficiency of cross-sectional designs: the inability to draw causal inferences. Longitudinal studies of the workgroup antecedents of service innovativeness are called for. Finally, the sample in this study was limited to one kind of service industry, the 4-5 star hotel industry, thus limiting generalizability. Clearly it is important to check if the model can hold in other service industry contexts.

Diploma thesis deals with evaluation of indoor environment of a school complex in atypical Himalayan alpine environment which is totally dependent on energy originating from renewable sources. Structural design of buildings allows maximum utilization of solar energy which is the only one actually available source of energy in this area. The buildings are de-scribed in detail, as well as measurement conducted in buildings during the last year. The out-comes of measurements are compared with desired values. The thesis is also focused on math-ematical simulations by using BSim software. The output of a building energy simulations is an energy use prediction and design of appropriate measures to improve the current situation.

The main aim of the diploma thesis is the revitalization of the site Horečky in Beskydy mountains, which contains several abandoned buildings. In the introduction, the work provides an analysis in the wider context and comes up with a concept of urban strategy on the larger scale. The main item of the urban and architectural study itself is a complex of existing buildings called Pantata, Marianka and Panimama and their setting in the terraced hilly landscape. The first necessary step is purging the buildings of nonconceptual extensions, which were added in the past. The function, which was chosen based on the outcome of the analysis part is a recreational accommodation facility oriented on educational school trips and alternative forms of experience-based educational methods. The building Pantáta gets to be the main center of the function itself and the 3rd and 4th stock is designed as additional accommodation facility. The building is also complemented with an extension building located in the terrace in the sloping-down terrain. This spatial concept also enables expansion of the exterior space in front of the historical building. The building Marianka is designed to be the main accommodation facility. The building Panimama is removed and a forest-cabin accommodation area is designed at the plot as another alternative way of staying in nature. There are also other landscape interventions and pavilions designed within the thesis project.

L’analyse sensorielle des vins est un objet d’enseignement omniprésent dans les formations des lycées professionnels et techniques du domaine de l’hôtellerie-restauration. Sa partie olfactive est particulièrement difficile à enseigner. La double compétence à acquérir s’articule autour du sentir (les odeurs et les arômes) et du dire (valorisation orale de la description du vin aux clients du restaurant). Pour tenter de rendre moins opaque cet enseignement, nous nous appuyons sur la pratique sociale de référence de la sommellerie. Nous convoquons la didactique clinique pour poser le cadre théorique et conceptuel du sujet pris dans le didactique pour suivre et comprendre les enjeux de savoir, à travers l’éclairage du sujet enseignant, dans l’enseignement de la partie olfactive de l’analyse sensorielle des vins.Grâce à un questionnaire exploratoire, quatre enseignants collaborateurs, appartenant à quatre profils contrastés, sont sélectionnés. Chaque cas est ensuite construit et analysé : Philibert « Comme je peux » enseignant expérimenté non-spécialiste, Nadia « Faire appel à ses références d’enfance » enseignante débutante, Christian « Personne n’a tort (…) il faut suivre un chef, un modèle, un mentor » enseignant chevronné et Jérémy « C’est difficile (…) leur transmettre les connaissances que j’ai pu avoir moi » enseignant novice. Lors du rapprochement des cas, des indicateurs des pratiques enseignantes sont déduits. La partie olfactive de l’analyse sensorielle apparaît comme un savoir impossible à institutionnaliser, sous l’influence d’un déjà-là sensoriel du sujet enseignant et elle semble sous-tendue par des ressorts didactiques qui agissent sur les pratiques enseignantes. La dernière partie de cette thèse réunie des propositions praxéologiques : les résultats de la recherche participent à la mise en place de préconisations. La didactique clinique propose des outils heuristiques pour la formation des enseignants
The sensory analysis of wines is an omnipresent object of instruction in professional and technical schools in hotel and catering sector. Its olfactory part is particularly difficult to teach. The double competence to be acquired is based on the smelling (odors and aromas) and the saying (oral description of wine to the customers of the restaurant). To try to make this teaching less opaque, we rely on the reference social practice of sommellerie. We use clinical didactics to pose the theoretical and conceptual framework of the subject taken in the didactics to follow and understand the issues of knowledge, through the lighting of the teaching subject, in the teaching of the olfactory part of the sensory analysis of wines.Through an exploratory questionnaire, four collaborating teachers from four contrasting profiles are selected. Each case is then built and analyzed: Philibert "As I can" an experienced non-specialist teacher, Nadia "Appealing to her childhood references" beginner teacher, Christian "No one is wrong (...) you have to follow a leader, a model, a mentor "experienced teacher and Jeremy" It's hard (...) to pass on to them the knowledge that I have "novice teacher. When reconciling cases, indicators of teaching practices are deduced. The olfactory part of the sensory analysis appears as a knowledge impossible to institutionalize, under the influence of a sensory already-there of the teaching subject and it seems animated by didactic springs which act on the teaching practices. The last part of this thesis brings praxeological propositions: the results of research contribute to the implementation of recommendations. Clinical didactics offers heuristic tools for teacher training

Sammanfattning Bokföringsnämnden (BFN) är en statlig myndighet under regeringen som är statens expertorgan på redovisningsområdet. De ansvarar för att främja utvecklingen av den goda redovisningsseden som enligt definitionen skall grundas utifrån praxis. Redovisningen har dock gått från att ha styrts utifrån principer och sed till att bli allt mer styrt av regler. På senare tid har nämligen BFN antagit en ny strategi genom att utfärda regelverk vilket de aldrig tidigare har gjort. De nya regelverken vid namn K-regelverken grundar sig i internationella redovisningsnormer och blir aktuella att tillämpa från 2014. Problematiken är att BFN inte har någon föreskriftsmakt utan endast får ge ut allmänna råd. Dessa uppfattas dock ofta som obligatoriska i praktiken vilket leder till att det uppstår en konflikt både gällande hur reglerna skall tolkas samt vad som gäller juridiskt. Vårt syfte är att förstå hur de kommande regelverken från bokföringsnämnden uppfattas samt hur de kommer att påverka företagen och den goda redovisningsseden. I uppsatsen använder vi oss av en kvalitativ studie med induktiv ansats. För att erhålla data på området har vi både samlat in primär och säkundärdata för att förstå och tolka helheten. I slutsatsen kommer vi fram till att den goda redovisningsseden har förändrats så pass mycket att den inte längre kan anses vara god sed. Finns det överhuvudtaget fortfarande ett behov av god redovisningssed då skrivna regler har tagit över det tomrum som den goda seden tidigare försökte fylla? Vi har även kommit fram till att K-regelverken inte kommer att resultera i en förenkling jämfört med dagens normgivning, inte heller kommer de administrativa kostnaderna att minska.

The dissertation considers architecture of the built environment and its effects on the existing social fabric within the larger urban context. This thesis argues that South African Universities stand at a critical and defining moment in time, that through careful assessment and implementation of tertiary education structure design and planning, we may challenge the previously accepted spatial, socio economic and political extents of life since it is the change that occurs within the built environment which most profoundly affects our daily lives. The platform used to explore this premise is a Hotel School, situated on the eastern boundary of the University of Pretoria’s Hatfield Campus. The fundamental relationship between the chosen site and the immediate surrounding will be defined, resulting in a formal translation in terms of an architectural intervention. As a means to recognise this challenge the intention will be to expand upon the architectural identity of the Campus and contribute toward the production of a South African sensibility through the language and interaction offered by architecture to the public. The issues underpinning the argument deal with the lack of interaction between the University and its neighbours. The objective of this discourse will be the ratification of the ideal that positively performing urban environments reflect the high degree of integration between various parts and elements of the city. “The essence of urbanity is that, with increasing agglomeration, individuals, groups and communities can benefit from a greater range of opportunities and facilities than can be generated by their operating in isolation.” (Dewar 1991:20) The final design proposes an interaction between the University as private entity and the public realm through the use of an experiential hospitality training facility. The design creates a place of relief which is reliant upon the event of programme acting as generator, effectively bridging the divide and ultimately unifying a portion of the Campus with its surroundings.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine how the current hospitality management curriculum at The International Hotel School contributes to students’ preparedness from their own perspectives. Generic and curriculum specific skills that can be used for curriculum evaluation were identified, a framework of curriculum variables to rate the level of student preparedness was developed, the effectiveness of the hospitality management curriculum from the perspectives of students’ perceptions of preparedness was analysed, and the aspects that contribute most to student preparedness were identified through a literature study and an empirical investigation. The findings were summarised and it was recommended that The International Hotel School needs to review the hotel and restaurant accounting course and the experiential learning components. Furthermore, lecturers of The International Hotel School should receive training on the implementation of more interactive course content delivery methods.

Abstract This study aims at exploring educational improvements for rotational industry-school research liaison of vocational high schools, and proposes concrete suggestions according to the research conclusions. These suggestions can be referential for the educational improvements for the rotational industry-school research liaison of vocational high schools. Focusing on the current implementation situation of the career learning of the rotational industry-school research liaison class, this research mainly employs “questionnaire survey method,” takes the “executive staff and teachers” of the rotational industry-school research liaison class of the Division of Commercial Hotel and Restaurant Management of S High School of Home Economics and Commerce, the “parents of students” and the “supervisors of enterprises” as the research targets of the questionnaire survey. Totally there were 500 questionnaires sent out and 427 questionnaires returned, with a return rate of 85%. The data analysis adopts some statistical methods, including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test of single sample, One-Way ANOVA, Scheffe’s posterior comparisons and regression analysis. The major findings of this study are: 1. The foundational vocational training provided by school is helpful to the working and learning of students. 2.

This relationship marketing study investigates the influence of national culture on the development of host-guest relationships between local and international tourists and Thai resort operators on Samui Island, Thailand. It proposes that a quality relationship between tourists and resort operators, which is characterised by high levels of trust and commitment, is the major determinant of customer loyalty. In particular, it concentrates on the major cultural differences between Thai and Australian tourists that impinge upon host-guest relationship development. To assist in the study, a research model developed by Morgan and Hunt (1994) was modified and used to conceptualise host-guest relationships and to inform the data collection procedure. Based on survey data collected from Australian and Thai tourists that arrived on Samui Island between January and February 2005, it was found that Australian and Thai respondents have different service experiences during their vacation. Moreover, they also weigh the importance of the antecedents of trust and commitment differently. The findings of the study highlight the need for resort operators to interact with tourists in a culturally sensitive manner. The managerial implications of the results of this study for resort operators are presented, and some recommendations for future service management and delivery strategies are suggested.

An Empirical Study on Relationship among Learning Environment, Personal Attributes and Absorptive Capacity – An Example of Students from Department of Hotel and Restaurant Management of S School under Rotary Cooperative Education Program Abstract There have some researchers discussing the rotary cooperative education program from the viewpoints of implementation efficiency, workplace survey and students’ satisfaction. They investigated the factors that affected the effective learning of students in the light of personal and environmental factors and paid much attention to students’ academic achievements when they studied the learning performance of students. However, the learning pattern of the students under rotary cooperative-education program is special. Therefore, the students’ ability to combine theory and practice, i.e., whether they are able to convert, assimilate and apply their knowledge and techniques concretely or not, is considered as an index for measuring their learning performance. This is similar to the concept of “dynamic absorptive capacity” submitted by Zahra and Gerard (2002). This study, in respect of the learning environment and personal attributes perceived by the students under rotary cooperative education program, further explores into the relationship among learning environment, personal attributes and absorptive capacity. This research uses absorptive capacity as a dependent variable in accordance with the concept of dynamic capacity developed by Zahra and Gerard (2002). The absorptive capacity includes two dimensions: potential absorptive capacity and actual absorptive capacity. Learning environment is used as an independent variable, which includes three dimensions: family learning environment, school learning environment and company learning environment according to the studies of Kuang-Hsiung Huang and Mao-Fa Chien (1991), Teh-Xiang Huang (1995). Personal attributes are treated as medium variables and consist of four dimensions: learning motivation, learning attitude, achievement motivation and internal locus of control according to the researches of Qiu-Lian Jiang (1995) and Kun-Yuan Yang (1996). Meanwhile, this study took internal locus of control, grade and sex as control variables. This study sent questionnaires to 348 persons who are grades 1, 2 and 3 students studying in the Department of Hotel & Restaurant of S School under rotary cooperative education program. The returning rate of the questionnaires was 88.51% with 308 valid samples. The study results indicate that: (1) The family- and company-learning environment shows a significantly positive influence on all dimensions of personal attributes (learning motivation, learning attitude and achievement motivation). The school-learning environment shows significantly positive influence on learning motivation and achievement motivation. (2) The company-learning environment has significantly positive influence on both dimensions of the absorptive capacity (potential absorptive capacity and actual absorptive capacity). The family-learning environment has significantly positive influence on both dimensions of the actual absorptive capacity. (3) Personal attributes (learning attitude, learning attitude and achievement motivation) have significantly positive influence on both dimensions of the absorptive capacity (potential absorptive capacity and actual absorptive capacity). (4) The company-learning environment would influence the potential absorptive capacity and the actual absorptive capacity indirectly through learning attitude and achievement motivation. The family-learning environment would influence the actual absorptive capacity indirectly through learning attitude and achievement motivation. (5) In the aspect of control variables, there is remarkable difference in school- and company-learning environment, personal attributes and absorptive capacity for different grade. There is remarkable difference in learning environment, personal attributes and absorptive capacity for different internal locus of control. There is remarkable difference in learning environment, personal attributes and absorptive capacity for different times of experiment. Key words: Cooperative education program, learning environment, personal attributes, and absorptive capacity.

This study presents a quantitative investigation of the influence of various social factors – including finances, secondary school attended, resources available, culture, and family support – on the perceptions of success (in terms of academic performance and skills gained) of adult learners who are using online learning as the primary educational medium. The research was conducted with 100 students of The International Hotel School in South Africa. A quantitative research methodology was followed and a survey questionnaire was used as the data collection method. The data from closed-ended questions was analysed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS), with the data from open-ended questions being used to aid in the interpretation of the information organised quantitatively. Findings suggest that certain social factor constructs namely: finances, secondary school preparation for tertiary education, and internet accessibility, significantly impact the perceptions the students have on being successful in online learning. Some recommendations that spring from the study are to provide more funding to students, better access to more suitable resources and providing students with unlimited access to the internet for longer periods of time. It is also recommended that a follow-up study with a larger and more varied sample (possibly including public sector tertiary education students), and more questionnaire items per social factor is necessary to cast further light on the impact of social factors on adult students’ online learning experiences.

By interviewing the three practical training hotels that are operated by the school, and understanding the different dimensions of the practical training hotel, such as human resources, financial management, marketing methods, operational performance, teaching outcomes, then the operational method of the practical training hotel would be studied and drafted. Next, the conceptual framework of this study would be used to state the operational method so as to confer the study method and study flow path. The conclusion of this study is divided into the following five points: 1. Human resources: It is divided into the organizational framework of the management committee board, the development training of the part-time administrative teachers, the recruitment of non-teaching staff, and the practice system of the intern students. 2. Financial management: Need to carry out according to the laws and decrees of Technological and Vocational Education of Ministry of Education. 3.

The aspect of financial management: In the face of the changes of the whole environment, since the government-related departments reduce activity subsidies in succession, the school needs to bring the potential of increasing income and reducing expenditure fully and reach self-sufficiency. 3. The aspect of marketing method: Strengthening on the students’ manpower, characteristic of the products, service content, teaching culture and practice values, then the marketing tactic that accords with cost and difference the best will be developed. 4. The aspect of operational performance: The aspect of financial performance should demonstrate the depreciable time and amount of money of every equipment, the practical training hotel is responsible for its own preparation for improving the teaching equipment in the future, expanding the cooperating relationship with the hotels in the community, and offering the teachers in the school with high-quality teaching environment. 5. The aspect of teaching outcome: Designing the teaching activities that are related to the practical training hotel, teaching the students how to be familiar with the standard operation procedures of the practical training hotel, including the appearance of the clothing and attitude in attending to customers.

Increasingly, relationship marketing has been viewed to be critical to the success of business firms, with the growing understanding that acquiring new customers is far more expensive than maintaining existing ones. While keeping customers loyal, however, is a key objective of relationship marketing, there is little agreement on which antecedents could be used to achieve this aim. In response, this thesis develops a model of relationship marketing based on a review of the literature to empirically investigate in one single model: (1) the affect of relational bonds (financial, social and structural) on relationship quality and customer emotions; (2) emotions on relationship quality; and (3) the ultimate affect of both relationship quality and emotions on customer loyalty. In particular, this thesis seeks to investigate the role of the emotions variable as a consequence of relational bonds (financial, social and structural), and antecedent of relationship quality. Furthermore, it presents and discusses empirical findings from a survey of 271 loyal Arab guests at five-star hotels examined from their perspectives as end users using structural equation modelling (AMOS 6.0). The findings of this thesis largely support the hypothesised relationships proposed in the theoretical model. Specifically, the results revealed that social and structural bonds, but not financial bonds, are crucial in affecting relationship quality and customer emotions. The results also provide strong evidence of the relationship between emotions and relationship quality, which in turn are necessary determinants of customer loyalty. This thesis contributes to theoretical and practical knowledge by providing for the first time, evidence about relationships between social and structural bonds and emotions, and further between emotion and relationship quality. The inclusion of an emotions construct is suggested to contribute additionally to the body of relationship marketing literature and provide a more complete model within a hospitality context. Findings imply the need for service firms in general, and hotels in particular, to strategically lever on the key antecedents of a relationship quality and customer loyalty including relational bonds and emotions, in pursuit of a more competitive advantage, and long-term profit.
