Scenario and Activity

Talent management (TM) is the procedure through which business and organisation recognise and develop talented people who makes positive impact on their organisation and their productivity. It is not only important component of human resource management but also the responsibility of the leaders are all level to manage talent within the  business, with the strategies that being developed for the particular needs  and structure of the  business and industry.

 in the hospitality and tourism sector where talented motivated employees

 can help in  differentiate one organisation from another and influence business. An increasing number of businesses are rethinking ways to get the

 most from their staff. increasing costs, recruitment issues and changing

 employee attitudes mean that, for many employers, the traditional

 approaches to recruiting, training and retaining staff are being revisited to

 harness and develop talent which ultimately helps in getting competitive advantage.

. The International Tourism Consultancy Associates (ITC-A) . You have been approached by an organisation in the

 hospitality/travel and tourism sector to conduct research into a important area of

 the industry and have been provided with a theme which will be the focus of

 the research. The organisation have left it to you to decide what would be

 appropriate to investigate in this area of and for you to choose the research

 topic.

After identifying the research topic and objectives you will undertake the following steps and present your findings. 

This will be presented in the report format.

1. Complete a Literature Review ( Secondary Research)

You need to understand what the literature is related to the research objectives in respect to plan a research study to examine the phenomenon. Conduct a

 literature review by using the range of sources relating to the  topic.

Evaluate the validity and reliability of the sources with discussing current

 understanding on the research topic.

In your report explain the sources of literature found and how they relate to the research topic. Your report should evaluate

 literature in order to assess the validity of the literature in supporting the

 research topic.

2. Develop a project proposal for researching the research objective

 identified.

Your research proposal need to  identifies the purpose of the research project with

 clear  objectives and justifies the chosen research methods in context

 of the research question.

Elaborate the ethical issues which will need to be considered and explore the

 research methods and approaches used.

Prepare an action plan with target dates and methods for monitoring  activities to ensure your meet the deadline for the final

 written report.

3. Carry out independent primary research

Design, implement, collect and analyse data. For instance, using a

 survey/questionnaire/interview or other primary research technique to

 collect data and then present and analyse results. Present your findings

 using visual illustrations e.g. bar chart, pie charts and tables.

Your report will include the analysis of data and the benefits and

 limitations of the research methods and approaches taken to data

 collection.

4. Communicate outcomes – Report

Create a report that provides valid recommendations for the

 business organisation based on the analysis of the research both primary

 and secondary. Your findings and outcomes must be based on the research

 objectives and helps drawing your conclusions.

At last reflect how you have conducted the projects and the lessons learnt from it.
