Coursework 2 is related to CW1 In relation to CW1 – required to produce a 1,500-word synopsis which presents the critical discussions on the interdependence of organisational strategies and operations. These discussions should provide a rationale of the guidance materials produced for CW1. Assessment guidance: The synopsis provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to critically analyse theories and practice in the hospitality business context. In other words, you are expected to justify the strategies you have presented in CW1 to overcome the operational issue identified. When producing this piece of work, you should address the following points: • Clearly define the context of discussions, as operations management is a broad topic and will require a certain degree of focus and clarity. • Discuss how business strategies affect operational functions and vice versa within a specific organisational context. • Critically analyse relevant theories, concepts and industry practice and build your own discussions based on them. • Provide clear justifications for the guidance provided in the CW1 materials you produced, based on evidence-based discussions (the point above) • Draw a clear conclusion, indicating the expected outcome of implementing the guidance.
