What makes a successful hospitality graduate in New Zealand?.

      Аннотация: There is considerable debate among academics and industry professionals as to what are the predictors for success in hospitality and this field remains unanswered. Knowledge of the critical components that contribute to people being successful can significantly enhance individual career progression and, provide organisations with a focused workforce, which can create competitive advantage. Hospitality degree education, however, adopts a longer-term career orientation rather than a focus on the provision of immediately applicable skills. This book explores the range of skills, qualities, competencies and intelligences that establish predictors of success for the hospitality industry. The book provides a clear link between the concepts of passion and success and considers that success in hospitality is more likely to be achieved by those motivated by a deep passion for the industry. Passion is a pure motive pivotal to success and presents a new direction for hospitality education - a pedagogy of passion. This book should be useful to higher education professionals or anyone else wanting to understand how success is understood and achieved in hospitality education and the industry
