Students will be exposed to industry examples, in-depth discussions, and simulation projects about how to strategically integrate system applications such as property management, reservation management, sales & marketing management, point of sales systems, and meeting space rentals, etc. within a hotel setting, as well as their impacts on organizations and the industry as a whole.
