Semester 4 of the Swiss Hotel Management School Bachelor Degree:
Contemporary Trends
This module focusses on examining the most challenging problems facing humanity today. These issues and their possible solutions are discussed within their respective place in the hospitality industry. It will be important to maximise your personal reflection and critical analysis of your views on the future for the industry.
This module will also provide the in-depth analytical knowledge needed to address key developments in the industry, to ensure that you can see what the future may look like for you and where you fit in.
Strategic Management
This module deals with the art of strategy; meaning, how to analyse a strategic situation, how to identify and choose a superior competitive position, and how to create the organisational context to implement the chosen strategy.
The key strategic business decisions of concern in this module involve taking advantage of external opportunities, choosing competitive strategies, creating competitive advantages, and allocating critical resources over long periods.
The module takes a general management perspective, viewing the company holistically, and examining how each function are integrated into an overall competitive strategy. It is focused on the analysis, decisions and actions that affect the performance of hospitality companies.
International Resort and Spa Management
This module examines how resorts and spas are developed and managed in the modern, competitive global environment. The module enables students to gain an in- depth understanding of what a resort is, examine and evaluate different business models such as lease, management agreement, franchise, timeshare, branded residence, and vacation club. The rise of spa, wellness, therapeutic, and relaxation- based resorts as part of the leisure experience is a significant area of study within the module.
Digital Marketing
Consumers have access to unlimited online information about the products they are interested in. They can use online search, review sites and social media to assess products before purchase. Digital Marketing therefore is the dominant driver in business today and Hospitality and Event marketers need to master the skills of communicating with their audiences online in order to create awareness and interest around their products.
This module aims to build knowledge and understanding of how to create a successful online communication plan with the use of
Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing, Viral Marketing and online Public Relations and other current approaches.
People and Intercultural Strategies
This module aims to provide a wide spectrum of material related to strategies on how to manage multicultural teams in the hospitality and service industries. Students will be analysing effective synergistic inclusivity approaches to leverage competitive advantage. They will also be required to develop their research, analytical and critical thinking skills, and demonstrate how multicultural workplace diversity is linked to both business function and strategy.
Globalisation, competitive pressures and changing customer demands have led to the realisation that successful leaders and organisations need to be flexible and responsive to change. This module offers an opportunity to examine how intercultural business strategies impact operational behaviour of an organisation.
Food and Beverage Development
This module seeks to combine the skills and knowledge gained throughout studies with the theories of consumption, customer, trends, issues, and contemporary food industry. It also attempts to provide a platform for prospects within food and beverage operations. The growth of both corporate and independent outlets and societal shifts over the past decades has led to changes in consumer demand, expectations and a plethora of new product developments.
This module studies the past developments that have affected the industry today, accommodation to modern societal needs, culture, technology and contemporary debates and looks at trends and future developments in the industry.
Digital Portfolio Project (Hospitality Focus)
This module consists of creating an individual personal portfolio that includes a group capstone project, combining the skills and knowledge attained throughout their studies in hospitality management.
The process driven component of the module will enable students to illustrate that they can analyse complex data from a variety of sources, to produce recommendations for management practice. The integrated models that incorporate the need for planning, action, and review in response to the potential range of change, adaptations, service developments and enhancements are increasingly important to the hospitality industry.
All students will be expected to research and analyse an area of a hospitality organisation case study, focusing on the main hotel areas (rooms division, food and beverage or spa) and, as in the real world, they will be required to work in groups to accomplish this challenge.
The reflective element of the module is a production of individual portfolio that empowers learners to assemble and critically reflect upon a body of evidence from their studies and experience acquired. In doing so, the individuals will provide a self-analysis of their achievement based on the proposed graduate capabilities and therefore make a convincing, evidence-based foundation to enhance their employability.
