This assignment has been designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of the following module learning outcomes:
Demonstrate an understanding of organizational behaviour, drawing on relevant theories, concepts and business-related examples.
Show the ability to apply concepts and frameworks from organizational behaviour to different types of businesses.
Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of how organisational theories, concepts, and evidence can explain the way that people behave and interact at work at individual, group, and organisational levels.
This assignment invites you to explore the dynamic field of Organisational Behaviour and Management, with a particular focus on the tourism industry. Whether your future lies in managing a luxury resort, coordinating airline operations, or leading cruise ship teams, understanding how organisations function and how individuals and groups behave within them is essential in today’s fast-paced, service-driven environment.
In this 3,000-word essay, you will critically analyse the evolution of management theory, examine key concepts in contemporary organisational behaviour, and evaluate how these ideas are applied in real-world tourism contexts. Drawing on relevant models, academic theory, and practical examples from organisations such as Hilton, Emirates, and Booking.com, the essay aims to demonstrate how effective management and people-focused strategies contribute to operational success, employee engagement, and innovation in the global tourism sector.
