Research cost control issues in the hospitality industry and create a report on the topic.

Research Project / Report: The student will create an original mini-research project on a topic of his/her choice related to cost control issues in the hospitality industry. The topic has to be discussed in advance with the professor. Each student will create a minimum three page report on the topic and is required to give a PowerPoint presentation to the class. Instead of researching a specific topic, students may elect to perform a quantitative analysis of a cost control problem in the tourism and hospitality industry, and draw appropriate conclusions about what the data and results indicate about a solution to the problem.
