What the student can expect to learn by studying this unit of competency
Your trainer/assessor will confirm assessment submission details for each assessment task.
Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging
the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to
pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material
sourced from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used,
which includes:
• Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
• Copying work either in whole or in part
• Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
• Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or
web page
• Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with
other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of
someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This
applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and
academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity,
plagiarism and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who
engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.
Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file and could
lead to disciplinary action

The majority of the time, skilled moderators assume that asking the other
side for encouragement will imply weakness, incapability, or both.
The mindset we want to focus on is the chance outlook, which is the belief
that success and an incentive for the two participants are attainable. So
enter the modern world, let go of your ruthless attitude, and replace it with a
chance perspective.
The ideal scenario in any discussion is when the two participants respect
one another. Keep in mind that establishing terms for money, time, or
obligation is a crucial step to take.
Again and again when individuals plan for an exchange, they invest
bountiful measures of energy attempting to determine the results, however
in doing so make an unbending cycle they become reliant upon, or they
become totally impaired when things don't go to design. Here is a tip: each
plan is wonderful on paper, and each plan is ill-fated for disappointment
sooner or later. The best plans are one's that figure out their inadequacies
and incorporate adaptability into them.
1. Plan:
The first stage of the arranging system, negotiation readiness, is one that is
hardly acknowledged. Prepare by researching both sides of the argument,
identifying any potential concessions, and selecting the most and least
2. Data on trade:
When the two parties swap their underlying positions, this section of the
conversation happens. Each party should be allowed to continuously
express their unspoken benefits and worries, as well as what they hope to
gain from the conversation's conclusion and the reasons behind their
beliefs.
3. Describe:
The two sides continue their discussion that they began when exchanging
facts during the explanation step by bolstering and legitimizing their
arguments. They should explore the conflict in quiet terms to find a basis
for understanding if one party disputes something the other side is saying.
This stage of the exchange process is where the two sides begin to
compromise. Each arranging party should make a separate counter-offer for
the issue after the initial, underlying proposition while simultaneously
offering and negotiating their concessions.
Question 9. List any five (5) stakeholders from whom approval, permission and/or signatures
must be obtained before a formal agreement can be entered.
-Project manager
-Supervisor
-Management manager
-Sponsor
-Suppliers
Any three (3) other legal requirements that impacts negotiations and
agreements where organisation commonly seek specialist advice.
A few exchanges are more touchy than others, so all gatherings ought to be
clear at the start about data that ought to be kept secret. A privacy
understanding (now and then known as a non-divulgence understanding)
ought to be transferred ownership of prior to giving any business delicate
data. The understanding ought to specify that data revealed during talks:
Contract discussions are many times tense undertakings where the strain to
get it done can make a compulsion to exaggerate people business capacities
or execution. In any case, on the off chance that a business misrepresents or
deceives the other party during discussions, the agreement might be
delivered invalid with the violated party qualified for pay.
Question 11. Explain any four (4) ways to proactively seek, review, and act upon information
needed to maintain, build and nurture sound business relationships through regular contacts and
using effective interpersonal and communication styles. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
Any four (4) ways to proactively seek, review, and act upon information
needed to maintain, build and nurture sound business relationships through
1. Anticipate
2. Forestall
3. Plan
Proactive individuals plan for what's to come. Keep away from one-step, "at
this very moment" thinking and on second thought, look forward and
expect long haul results. Carry the future into the present.
4. Execute
Question 12. Explain how can an organisation ensure that the agreements made during
negotiation are honoured and complied with agreed terms. Write your answer in 50 – 100 words.
Question 13. Explain the meaning of performance indicator and explain any two (2) performance
indicators that can be measured in hospitality industry. Answer in 3 – 5 lines for each.
ADR can quantify financial performance and examines how people stack
up against their competitors. Although ADR can aid in breaking down an
inn's presentation, it excludes any unsold or vacant rooms. This could very
well be misleading in terms of how property is executed generally. It
performs wonderfully as a continuous execution metric when separated.
The ADR is especially useful when comparing current periods or seasons to
earlier ones in order to recognize execution over time.
RevPAR can predict how well average rate will fill accessible rooms, which
provides a useful perspective on how effectively hotel is operating.
However, there are several factors to take into account when comparing
RevPAR between distinct properties. Since the number of rooms is not
taken into account by RevPAR, a large property with fewer occupied rooms
may still generate greater cash flow despite having a lower RevPAR.
1.Open Meeting
It is simpler to convey your enthusiasm and how people feel to their group
through open gatherings. In this sort of discussion, they won't just hear
what they are talking about, they will likewise see and feel it. This move

Question 15. Explain the following commercial context for business relationship in hospitality
industry. Answer in 3 – 5 lines.
a. Industry structure and interrelationships
b. Sources of supply
c. Distribution and marketing networks
b. Sources of supply.
Even the most confident and experienced pioneers may feel dread when
they hear the word "organizing," which frequently conjures images of
making small talk and exchanging business cards in a room full of
strangers. However, because we as a group have knowledgeable contacts,
taking the opportunity to develop and foster this organization can reap
benefits both immediately and skillfully.
3. Legal Consideration.
5. Demonstrating a Contract.
6. Enforceability of a Contract
