25 Jan Choose a group listed below and discuss how the group compares to another group, listed or unlisted.
The hospitality industry attracts workers from all backgrounds and demographic groups. A challenge for managers (also diverse) has been to effectively interact, manage, and motivate workers that may not share the same life experiences, values, and goals. Restaurants, for example, include workers from the Millennial generation as well as “retired” Baby Boomers as well as a variety of races and ethnicities.
Choose a group listed below and discuss how the group compares to another group, listed or unlisted.
Identify and compare what you believe to be shared needs, values, and motivations within each group.
Identify legislation and regulations related to your chosen groups and assess how organizational practices and policies are affected
Analyze what you believe would be the most effective leadership and management styles while interacting with the groups.
Remember to be tactful and avoid stereotypes through the use of scholarly research (I.E., use business journals rather than Internet blogs for support). If you have a dissenting opinion with what is shared by a classmate, explain and support rather than just say you disagree.
Peer replies should make a comparison to a group not listed below.
