HOTS Report Type: Assignment – Problem Solving Assignment

HOTS Report
The HOTS simulation is a team based problem solving exercise, where teams will be working together making decisions throughout the semester. Each team member has a role and function to ensure that your hotel performs well over three simulated ‘years’. This report, however, is an individual report which demonstrates your understanding of your hotel performance over the three years, as well as the current situation of your hotel.
Business decisions will be made each ‘month’ (within the simulation), based on the performance of your hotel. Ensure that all decision processes are recorded during the semester, as these are required for this report. Business simulation cycling will occur from Week 5 through to Week 11 (which will result in 3 years of business operations).
The first part of this report is an analysis of your hotel’s performance based on the decisions/strategies which your team implemented over the last three ‘years’. The second part of the report is a Business Plan for the fourth year. This Business Plan will outline your current environment, and develop strategies to improve your performance (based on your results from the last three years).
