Planning for Industry: A Study in Curriculum Design

This study sought to determine the views of professional hospitality managers and new diplomate entrants to the industry as to their perception of the degree to which courses in hospitality management prepare new entrants for their role in the industry. The feedback obtained has been used to revise the course structure of an HND in hotel and catering management. However, the authors have some reservations about future developments of the industry as perceived by both groups and these are discussed.
