Please review the information below, which outlines the paper
Assignment: Your paper will consist of a 12 font, double-spaced typewritten report on supervision in the hospitality industry. You may select ANY hospitality company (maybe even one you currently work for) that is of interest to you (For example: Marriott, Hilton, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Darden Group, Houstons, Disney, Six Flags Corporation, any hotel management company, Caesers Entertainment, or an individually owned and managed hospitality business etc).
No matter your selection, you will need to interview a supervisor. If you select a company like Marriott to research, you will need to then pick a local Marriott hotel to be able to drill down to the day to day supervising experience. This will require personal interviews, phone interviews, or even Skype.
