organisation of the different departments (management, organisational structure), but also of supporting systems in the field of administration and finance. The employees of the organisation may not be forgotten: they are one of the most important resources of an organisation (human resource management). Furthermore, an organisation should comply with statutory regulations, which have its influences on the organisation. Different trends and developments in the hospitality industry influence the way a manager operates and makes his decisions. For example, managing cultural diversity asks for a basic knowledge regarding attitude, behaviour, skills and image of the employees of different cultures. Modern managers should create circumstances under which all of their employees could be successful: modern managers, coach, guide and delegate the way to success. And especially in the hospitality industry, human capital is one of the most important resources: the employees are the „personal touch‟. The ageing of the population is an important social trend as well. This trend asks for a different approach in offering services. The financial function is moving, which means that financial managers should have a lot of knowledge and skills in order to keep producing an added value to the organisation. The module „Resources‟ will provide students with the basic knowledge and skills regarding finances.
