INSTRUCTIONS
Scenario:
Using the library resources and the Internet, you should choose and research 1 topic among the 4 topics listed below. Marks will be given for a critical approach and the use of any evidence to support your work.
Topic 1:
Cost management is useful and requires skills from managers. In today’s economic climate with low demand forecasts, recommend solutions as to how you would save money, in both the short and long term, without reducing customer value and loyalty. Please use two examples from the hospitality industry in your work.
Topic 2:
Quality is key in business. Critically review 3 Quality Management (QM) models. Is there a model that ‘best fits’ hospitality? In other words, would the introduction of a QM strategy into hospitality enable companies to up performance and returns for all stakeholders? Make recommendations on how a small privately-owned hospitality company can develop its own quality systems and techniques. In your answer please show ‘lesson learned’ from larger corporations and other industries.
Topic 3:
How a business performs is a very important indicator. Robert G. Eccles has given academics the ‘performance manifesto’ with a view of changing management perception of performance. Evaluate his arguments whilst commenting on the use of Corporate Social Responsibility policies that have become very popular today. Would you recommend, with full justifications, CSR development in the hospitality industry? Are companies fully CSR or is it just marketing hype?
Topic 4:
Analyze Engel’s generic decision-making model and state its usefulness for hospitality managers. In other words, does it give true insight into the decision-making process for service industries? During these hard-economic times how are hospitality companies making sure their customers stay loyal? What future service trends will develop to attract customers?

RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Please refer to theArticle Submission Assignment from the beginning of the course to complete the Research Paper Assignment. Please follow and format your paper accordingly.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
In the beginning of this course, you submitted a scholarly, peer-reviewed article for approval. For this research paper, you will discuss the importance of that article in regards to organizational behavior while using the problem-solving, integrative framework learned in Chapter 1. With your organizational problem, provide the following information:
Provide any environmental issues that should be considered.
As you discuss these areas to address the first portion of the problem-solving framework, provide examples and research to support your discussion.
Step 2
Now that you have laid the foundation of the problem, explain how the theory you researched applies. Provide in depth analysis with your article as the main evidence.
Explain the author’s current view on the chosen organizational theory and how it relates to your problem.
Discuss what you believe are the most relevant portions of the article that tie the theory and concepts with your organizational issue to create an explanation for the problem. In other words, if you had to explain the organizational issue to someone, how would you relate it to what the author has stated?
Step 3
The final process (Step 3) in the problem-solving framework is recommendations. Based on your research, use this final step to provide recommendation plans for the problem. Do you want to resolve, solve, or dissolve the problem? Consider the consequences as well for the plan of action in your recommendation. Use well-thought-out ideas and research to support your plan. Describe where you see your personality style fitting into your recommendation for the organization to make your plan work, to tie in the previous papers. Apply what you have learned through Scripture, describing how the Lord can utilize your strengths to implement the recommendation plan.
Formatting
Use proper, current APA format for every element of the paper. Be sure to include the APA-formatted cover page, abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA manual for help.
Write in first person—this is allowed due to the personal nature of the assignment.
To facilitate the instructor’s grading of these assignments, you must have major headings for Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Additionally, under the major headings, you must have subheadings as you see fit for the outlined instructions.
The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each section is your decision; your instructor will not be grading you on how many paragraphs you used per section, but rather the extent to which you specifically addressed each of the areas above.
The 8–10 required pages do not include the title page, abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as additional pages.
Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font only, use 1-inch margins, and avoid bold font (except for headlines, per current APA format), underlining, and contractions.
The reference page must include a minimum of the 5 following references in current APA format (all sources must be evident within the paper):
The approved article for research
Both of the course textbook(s)
2 other scholarly sources from a peer-reviewed journal
Note: For further questions regarding current APA format, visit Liberty University’s Online Writing Center.
Submit the Research Paper Draft Assignment to the appropriately labeled Turnitin link first to review your percentage of originality. Then submit the Research Paper Final Assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned Module: Week.
RESEARCH PAPER
TIPS
Please use the Research Paper Assignment Instructions so you can follow along with these important notes. As with any assignment, please review the instructions and the rubric carefully.
Here are a few helpful tips on writing your research paper:
You are required to use the same approved topic you submitted in Module 1: Week 1. Faculty will check that the same topic is used in the paper to ensure you have researched the approved article/topic. Remember that week 1 article submission was a 0/0 points because the submission goes into the research paper points. Failure to submit a topic for approval by week 3 results in a zero score for the week 7 paper. The purpose is to research the topic throughout the course.
Ensure you apply the topic to a specific organization as you noted in your article summary. Often, it’s easy to get caught up in the topic itself, you can forget to apply it.
Do not forget to utilize the problem-solving framework. Your DB assignments have helped you in applying and writing this with various case studies so now you get to apply it with your specific article/topic. Remember the steps and include this as part of your solution.
Formatting your paper
The instructions are very specific on how to format your paper. Please ensure you read this portion carefully. Remember that the length does not include the title, abstract, or reference list.
