Food and Culture – Heritage and Tradition

Knowledge Partners Bournemouth University

Food and culture: Heritage and Tradition. The terms heritage and tradition are bandied about without any real thought, but what do they actually mean? Dr Sean Beer will explore the use of these words and how businesses can use them in a more authentic and creative way. He will do this by focusing on the Cream Tea; how we see it today, tomorrow and potentially how we will see it in 20 years time.

Human Resources for Hospitality – Trends and Challenges in the UK hospitality industry. Recruitment & Selection Challenges

Knowledge Partners Bournemouth University

The hospitality and tourism sector is the fourth-largest employer in the UK, with 10% of the workforce employed in 180,000 businesses, including independent restaurants, major hotel chains and visitor attractions. The latest figures reveal that more than two-fifths (43%) of workers in this sector are foreign nationals – mainly from the former eastern and southern European countries. The management of such a diverse and multicultural workforce poses significant challenges and great opportunities for hospitality businesses. Two recent industry reports by People 1st (2013; 2015) highlight the skills, productivity and retention problems in the hospitality sector. On the top of that, Brexit poses significant threats for the hospitality sector and its multicultural workforce. There is no doubt that the latest political developments will affect the UK Hospitality industry and possibly slow down the steady growth experienced in the past two decades. It is up to the sector’s decision makers to identify and capitalise the new opportunities that will emerge in the local, regional, national and international markets.

Smart Hospitality and Competitiveness

Knowledge Partners Bournemouth University

Smart systems take advantage of interconnectivity and interoperability of integrated technologies to reengineer processes and data in order to produce innovative services, products and procedures towards maximising value for all stakeholders. Smartness reengineers economies and industries, and shapes products, actions, processes and services in real-time. Agility engages different stakeholders simultaneously to optimise the collective performance and competitiveness and generate benefits for all involved in the value system. To achieve that, smart systems use innovative robust technology, the Internet of everything, cloud computing, big data, advanced data analytics, and a robust and ever expanding communications infrastructure.
