Assignment title The Entertainment Industry and Venue Management Purpose of this assignment Learners will be provided with an over-arching view of the entertainment industry with a particular emphasis on venue management, operation and funding of live performance, conference/banqueting and on-licenced trade. Learners will explore the industry’s dynamic structure through an identification of trends in the public, private and voluntary sectors’ involvement in the world of entertainment. A range of activities and venues and the corresponding levels of public usage and support are explored. This will provide learners with an insight into the management and operation of a range of activities and venues; the influence of contrasting financial practices and the underlying trends within the entertainment industry. The impact of large-scale venues needs to be considered in the wider context of leisure management given the vast range of possible entertainment opportunities offered by multipurpose arena and stadia offering venues for major sporting events, popular music concerts, opera, ice shows, televised events and the attendant venue management problems relating to licensing, health, safety and security. Learners must ensure that their evidence relates to the hospitality industry.

Plagiarism Rules and Regulations
o No plagiarism is accepted in assignments and students are advised to do the referencing correctly according to the Harvard Referencing System.
o Students are advised to submit assignments with a similarity in below 10%.
o Reduce your plagiarism by not sharing assignments and doing in text citations of sources used, using the Harvard referencing method
What is Turnitin?
Turnitin is the software that EThames uses to calculate the similarity of your assignment to any other document submitted in the same system all over the world.
What happens when you submit an assignment on Turnitin?
You submit your assignment on Turnitin by submitting it on Livecampus on the assignment submission link. Your assignment is then compared with all of the assignments for all the different units submitted on Livecampus as well as assignments submitted by other students in other colleges and books and documents all over the world. The report generated is not the final report. The final report will only be generated after the final deadline which would mean that once the submission link closes and once every student submitted assignments at EThames for the specific unit, only then the final report will be generated. This means that if you have shared your assignment with anybody and they have submitted part of it or the full assignment the initial report your friend got would’ve indicated the similarity, but your report would’ve remained unchanged. This is because the report is refreshed every time that you upload your assignment and then finally after the deadline. After the deadline their plagiarism will be high as well as your own.
What can you do to avoid getting a high Turnitin score?
· Do not copy pieces of work from any book or website. It needs to be rewritten in your own words and proper in text citation should be done according to the Harvard referencing method
· Do not share your assignment with any friend, not even to assist them
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is passing off the work of others as your own. This constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter which is penalised in assignment marking.
Plagiarism is the submission of an item of assessment containing elements of work produced by another person(s) in such a way that it could be assumed to be the student’s own work. Examples of plagiarism are:
• The verbatim copying of another person’s work without acknowledgement
• The close paraphrasing of another person’s work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation without acknowledgement
• The unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another person’s work and/or the presentation of another person’s idea(s) as one’s own.
Copying or close paraphrasing with occasional acknowledgement of the source may also be deemed to be plagiarism if the absence of quotation marks implies that the phraseology is the student’s own.
Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a published source such as a book, report, journal or material available on the internet.
