WEEK 2: Understanding the ABM World Part I (Industries under Business &
Accountancy)
Jobs in the hospitality and tourism career specialization entail planning, managing, and
supplying housing, food, recreation, and conferences. Tourism management refers to the
activities involved with travel planning. The migration of people to countries or places outside of
their typical environment for personal or business/professional reasons is referred to as tourism.
Inbound tourism, domestic tourism, and outward tourism are the three primary types of tourism.
The actions of a visitor from outside their own nation are referred to as inbound tourism.
Domestic tourism refers to a visitor's activities both inside and outside of their native country.
The actions of a resident visitor outside of their home nation are referred to as outbound tourism.
In the hospitality industry, it is usually associated with hotels, resorts, and accommodation.
Many components of the guest experience are created and managed by professionals in this
industry. They frequently supervise front-desk personnel, housekeeping, and sales. Great
hospitality managers are concerned about how much their customers enjoy their visit and are
constantly looking for innovative ways to improve every part of it. Nutrition & Dietetics, a
branch of medicine, is concerned with all aspects of food and their impact on human health and
well-being. Weight control and chronic illnesses are the two most common specializations in
nutrition and dietetics. It's advisable to see a licensed dietitian if you want to adjust your diet.
Dietitians and nutritionists work to improve people's health by assisting them in making better
food choices. They also assist patients in striking a balance between healthy food and exercise.
Something unique that I discovered in Nutrition/Dietetics is that, every dietitian is a
nutritionist, but not every nutritionist is a dietitian. A nutritionist is anyone who claims to be one.
Although some nutritionists have broad nutrition credentials, they lack the dietitian's supervised
practice experience, comprehensive knowledge base, and resources. In some states, practicing
nutrition without a valid RD/RDN license is actually illegal. Dietitians help people improve their
health by providing food and nutrition advice. While I found interesting in hospitality is, many
aspects of organization and strategy are specific to the hotel business. Furthermore, the
hospitality product is usually a mix of service and product, produced and consumed at the same
time, and incorporates the client in the delivery process. Inventory is a perishable commodity.
A particular career that fascinate me is becoming a registered dietitian. Every single one of
us requires food in order to live. However, whether you have a medical condition or an allergy,
meal preparation can be challenging. I'd love to have one-on-one conversations with clients to
assess their lifestyles, nutritional needs, and overall health. Nutritional science may be turned
into accessible, practical food advice that patients can adopt to enhance their health through this
profession. Government, educational, and corporate initiatives can all benefit from this
knowledge. Dietitians collaborate with food companies to create nutritionally sound goods.
Working in the health-care profession has always piqued my attention. Helping people live
healthier, happier lives is, in my opinion, a very noble vocation.
WEEK 7: In Focus: Accountancy & Accounting Information Systems
Internal users utilize an accounting information system (AIS) to gather, store, and process
financial and accounting data to report information to investors, creditors, and tax authorities.
It's a computer-based method for tracking accounting operations using information technology.
A database structure is required for an accounting information system to store data. Query
language is used to program this database structure, which enables for table and data
manipulation. Furthermore, accounting information systems are frequently highly guarded
platforms with safeguards in place against viruses, hackers, and other outside sources attempting
to gather data. As more firms keep their data electronically, cybersecurity is becoming more
crucial. An accounting information system contains a variety of elements that are essential to the
accounting cycle. Although the information contained in a system varies according to industry
and business size, it includes revenue, expense, customer/employee information, and tax
information. Sales orders, analysis reports, invoices, inventory, payroll, ledger, trial balance, and
financial statement information are examples of specific data. The various outputs of an
accounting information system demonstrate the system's data versatility. An AIS generates
reports such as accounts receivable based on customer information, fixed asset depreciation
schedules, and trial balances for financial reporting. Correspondence, memos, and presentations,
on the other hand, are not included in the AIS because they are not directly related to a
company's financial reporting or bookkeeping. An accounting information system strives to
integrate data from various departments. The sales department can upload the sales budget into
the system. The inventory management team uses this information to conduct inventory counts
and purchase materials. When inventory is purchased, the system can notify the accounts
payable department of the new invoice. An AIS can also share information about a new order
with the manufacturing, shipping, and customer service departments, letting them know about
the sale. Accountant is one of the most prevalent jobs for accounting information system
professionals (AIS). Accountants may be enlisted to help a business create its AIS. Their
understanding of accounting and auditing procedures and methodologies is critical in assisting a
company in selecting or designing the finest software and overall system. A background in
information systems will also help the accountant because computers play such an essential role
in modern accounting. Accountants will use the data in the company's AIS to execute their job
tasks, including as producing and analyzing budgets and financial statements, preparing tax
returns, and verifying the accuracy of records. Financial and system auditors are the two other
professions related to AIS. Financial auditors look at a company's financial statements, expense
reports, and accounting records to make sure the data is correct. They also ensure that the
company follows generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is in compliance with
Sarbanes-Oxley and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The AIS makes financial data
readily available to auditors, allowing them to execute their jobs more efficiently. Systems
auditors, on the other hand, work on the technical side of accounting information systems. They
examine the controls, data processing, data integrity, general operation, maintenance, security,
and other features of all types of commercial information systems.
WEEK 8: In Focus: Marketing Management
Marketing refers to the actions that a firm engages in to promote the purchase or sale of a
product or service. Affiliates perform some marketing on a company's behalf. Marketing is the
process of attracting customers to your company's product or service. This is accomplished by
market research, analysis, and comprehension of your potential customer's interests. Marketing
encompasses all areas of a company's operations, including product creation, distribution
techniques, sales, and advertising. Marketing's goal is to constantly research and evaluate your
customers, send out surveys, investigate online buying behaviors, and ask one underlying
question, such as: Where, when, and how does our customer want to interact with our business?
A Marketer, also known as a Marketing Professional, is responsible for collaborating with other
marketing employees to create innovative campaign ideas to sell a company's products, services,
or overall brand identity. Their responsibilities include conducting market research to determine
target audience demographics or reviewing previously effective marketing campaigns, working
as part of a team to complete tasks by set deadlines, and making improvements throughout
marketing campaigns to achieve better consumer engagement. Marketer or marketing is very
important for starting a business since it requires good social skills to interact with prospective
clients and consumers. Furthermore, a marketing career would allow an individual to develop
and improve their communication abilities, paving the road for them to access new doors of
opportunity. This profession is significant for a business or in an organizations ' fore it contributes
to the sales and in generating profit to a business. Without marketing, your company might have
ground-breaking, industry-changing goods and services that meet your consumers' demands but
never get the opportunity to reach your target audience. As a result, your company's sales may
fall short of expectations, and you may find it more difficult to grow your firm. These are some
of the primary benefits I believe marketing delivers to your business, and how it has the potential
to help you grow the business you want: It will help you build your name. Good marketing assists
you in keeping your items and services in front of every customer's attention. Marketing assists
you in establishing your brand and making you the top option to consider when looking for a
certain product. The next one is that it will increase your sales. Once you've gained access to your
clients' minds, your chances of selling your product, service, or brand to them increase
considerably. Furthermore, once you've been visible to your target demographic, your firm
will benefit. Another benefit is that it will increase your sales. Once you've gained access to your
clients' minds, your chances of selling your product, service, or brand to them increase
considerably. Furthermore, after you've established a presence in your target market, your
company's brand will be on everyone's lips, and word of the high quality of your products and
services will spread. Finally, it will improve your company's reputation. Any company success you
accomplish will be highly reliant on establishing a solid, trustworthy reputation. Your marketing
will help to establish brand awareness, and your ever-expanding reputation will be founded on
strong and clever communication as well as the quality of what you provide your audience, and
marketing is a critical component in all of this.
WEEK 10: In Focus: Banking
The banking sector is the backbone of the financial services industry. It focuses on direct
saving and lending, whereas the financial services sector includes investments, insurance, risk
transfer, and other financial activities. Large commercial banks, community banks, credit unions,
and other organizations offer banking services. Banks make money largely from the gap between
the interest rates level on credit accounts and the interest rates provided to depositors. Fees,
commissions, and other ways of income generation, such as the spread on interest rates between
loans and deposits, are the primary sources of revenue for financial services like these. Banking
is divided into various segment, including retail banking, commercial banking, and investment
banking. These banks provide personal financial services such as checking and savings accounts,
mortgages, loans, and credit cards, as well as some investment services. Retail banking caters to
individuals rather than businesses. Corporate banking, on the other hand, deals with both small
and large organizations. An investment bank often works with dealmakers and high-net-worth
people, rather than the general public. These banks underwrite transactions, provide access to
capital markets, provide wealth management and tax assistance, counsel businesses on mergers
and acquisitions, and enable the purchase and sale of stocks and bonds. This market is also served
by financial counselors and cheap brokerages. Individuals can have access to financial markets
such as stocks and bonds by using investing services. Brokers enable the purchasing and selling
of securities in exchange for a commission. Financial advisers may charge an annual fee based on
assets under management and may guide many trades in the quest of building and managing a
well-diversified portfolio. Banks, as financial intermediaries, are involved in the movement of
funds from the ultimate saver to the final consumer of funds. Often, banks will change the
conditions of the contract as the money go through the transfer procedure in a way that supports
and encourages economic activity. By providing tradable claims (bank deposits), the bank can
give flexibility to the circulating medium of exchange, so improving the functioning of the
payments system. By providing trade credit abroad (commercial banking), the bank may enable
international trade and commerce, and by lending to other banks during periods of external
liquidity demands, the bank can control core liquidity in the financial system, thereby stabilizing
prices and production (central banking). Another key subsector of the financial services business
is insurance. There are insurance services offered to protect against death or injury (e.g., life
insurance, disability income insurance, health insurance), property loss or damage (e.g., homes
insurance, vehicle insurance), or liability or litigation. The sector also includes accountants and
tax filing services, currency exchange and wire transfer services, and credit card machine services
and networks. It also includes debt resolution services and global payment providers such as Visa
and MasterCard, as well as exchanges that facilitate stock, derivatives, and commodity trades.
The financial services industry is the principal engine of a country's economy. It allows for the
free movement of capital and liquidity in the market. When the industry is robust, the economy
flourishes, and businesses in this area are better equipped to handle risk. The strength of a
country's financial services industry is also vital to its population's prosperity. Consumers earn
more when the sector and economy are robust.
WEEK 11: In Focus: Operations & Supply Chain Management
Gardenia, the country's largest bread producer, has experienced abnormally high sales
growth of 20-35 percent in the first two quarters due to panic buying and the harsh lockdown
period. It is reported that sales grew by 20-35 percent in the second quarter of 2020, up from a
5 percent increase in the first quarter. An abnormally high demand during the April-May period,
with consumer’s panic buying to a certain extent. Gardenia has responded to the high demand
by making all of their factories operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week, beginning in March
2020, and producing at 90-95 percent of their capacity. Gardenia's annual sales growth averages
only 5-10% during normal times. Overall, the market grew by 10%, but Gardenia received the
lion's share of that growth because other bakeries, particularly small ones, were forced to close
their doors due to supply chain issues. Gardenia was able to produce continuously from the time
the Enhanced Community Quarantine was first imposed in the middle of March of 2020, thanks
to its fully automated plants. Gardenia uses only the finest ingredients from around the world to
ensure that Cebuano’s can enjoy the same high quality and delicious Gardenia loaf breads
enjoyed in the country as well as in Singapore and Malaysia, where the brand is the market
leader. Gardenia also assured Cebuano that they would only be served fresh and high-quality
products. The company adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices. Its equipment and
baking process have recently received (ISO) certification for product quality, as well as the
(HACCP) Certification for food safety. The G-lock system is another Gardenia-unique practice.
This resalable clip is color-coded to indicate the day the bread is baked for and is an essential part
of Gardenia's quality control system. It also includes all of the essential information, such as the
"Best Before" date, the plant where the bread was baked, a production code, and the suggested
retail price. The G-lock has a specific color for each day to inform the consumer when the bread
is delivered rather than just when it will expire. Tan (Monday), Orange (Tuesday), Yellow
(Wednesday), Blue (Thursday), Green (Friday), Red (Saturday), and White (Sunday) are the
corresponding G-lock colors with their respective delivery days. With the G-lock system, which is
not used by other bread suppliers, only fresh bread is kept on store shelves, while unsold bread
is pulled out every day of delivery. Gardenia breads have the characteristics of good bread, which
is exactly what customers want. It has a good taste, freshness, freshly baked aroma, softness,
and nutritive value that will surely satisfy customers. Supply chains can be sources of competitive
advantage in modern times because efficient supply chain management leads to cost savings and
synergies between the components, resulting in increased profitability for the firms. As a result,
many business leaders have focused their efforts on optimizing supply chains in order to boost
both the top and bottom lines. Global supply chain management is a critical concept in today's
business world because it encompasses a wide range of business activities. Coordination of
materials, information, and funds from the initial raw material supplier to the final product.
WEEK 12: In Focus: International Tourism Management
The Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics (BSND) program is a four-year program
that prepares students to be globally competitive professionals with relevant competencies in
three areas of nutrition: hospital, community, and food service, by integrating academic and
clinical knowledge and skills through excellence in teaching and the development of proper
values and attitudes in the practice of the profession to meet society's changing needs. Because
clinical nutrition and hospital practicum are included, the program is also a good preparation for
medicine. According to a number of scientific studies, the food we eat has a substantial impact
on our health. Dietary changes can help prevent or control a wide range of health issues,
including obesity, diabetes, and certain risk factors for cancer and heart disease. Dietetics is the
study of the effects of diet and nutrition on human health. Dietetics has a heavy emphasis on
public health and is dedicated to educating all Americans about the importance of making healthy
food choices. Dietitian dietitians assist people improve their health by utilizing nutrition and food
science. Nutrition and dietetic technicians collaborate with dietician nutritionists to give patients
with treatment and counseling. General nutrition education can be provided by both dietitian
nutritionists and nutrition and dietetic technologists. Both have national credentials and play
important roles in health care and foodservice management teams. The Nutrition and Dietetics
Section provides nutritional consulting and nutrition therapy to individuals with a variety of
health issues. They consult with other health care experts to analyze patients' clinical charts and
establish nutritional plans to fulfill patients' particular dietary needs. Nutrition also looks at how
people can utilize dietary choices to lower their risk of disease, what happens if they have too
much or too little of a nutrient, and how allergies function. The terms registered dietitian (RD)
and registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) are interchangeable; nonetheless, there is a
distinction. The term "nutritionist" was introduced to RD to embrace a broader concept of
wellness, as well as the prevention and treatment of illnesses. This distinction emphasizes the
fact that while all registered dietitians are nutritionists, not all nutritionists are registered
dietitians. Anyone who has earned a degree in nutrition can usually call oneself a nutritionist.
This could include a bachelor's degree in nutrition, a master's degree in nutrition, or a Master of
Public Health with a nutrition specialization. The number of years of school and training required
will vary depending on whether you want to be a certified nutrition specialist (CNS) or a
certified/clinical nutritionist (CN). Nutritionists often work with individuals or groups to educate
them on general nutrition, food, and health. Their primary focus is on eating habits. This includes
collaborating with individuals to develop and implement meal plans that improve the nutrition
of the individual or family. In many states, nutritionists are restricted in what they may perform.
Because nutritionists do not always have a certification, license, or clinical expertise, they may
be unable to provide precise dietary advice or diagnose and treat medical issues. Many states
and insurance companies restrict particular nutrition advising. Nutritionists are permitted to
provide dietary counseling in some states, but they cannot be reimbursed by insurance. Some
states require dietitians to be licensed before providing dietary advising.

Weekly Journals
There are many things in life that you may repeat. One of them isn't making a good first
impression. First impressions last a lifetime. If you make a bad first impression, it's difficult to
change it. According to William Thourlby's book "You Are What You Wear: The Key to Business
Success," when we meet someone for the first time, we are attempting to size them up. People
consider socioeconomic status, education level, social position, sophistication level, economic
background, social background, moral character, and level of success. Our backgrounds, which
include our families, friends, education, religion, jobs, and other variables, all affect our first
impressions. Body language, clothes and look, and voice are examples of these. Your body
language and physical appearance speak louder than words. Project proper confidence and self-
assurance through your body language. Make eye contact, stand tall, and welcome with a solid
handshake. One of the most crucial and frightening moments to make a great first impression is
when you are interviewing for or starting a new job. The first day of a new job may be both
exciting and nerve-racking. Even if you never want to quit your current job, you will most likely
be promoted or transferred at some point, and the experience will be similar. You should keep
certain recommendations in mind for easing some of the stress on day one. (1) Be on time. In
fact, it's preferable to arrive a little early. Check where you're scheduled to be and what time
you're supposed to arrive. If it's a new job, practice your route and allow additional time to arrive
on time. (2) Get an idea of the area. Your manager will most likely tour you around, but make an
extra effort to remember what you see so you don't have to repeat questions. You may always
ask for directions later, but being a quick student would impress others more. (3) Learn people's
names. Again, learning the names of everyone you encounter can help you establish a reputation
for attentiveness and thoughtfulness. There are several memory procedures that can help you
match names and faces. There is no greater compliment than utilizing someone's name when
speaking to them. Keep your instincts under control. Your first day is a chance to learn, not to
show off what you believe you know. So demonstrate your worth. (4) Control your instincts. Your
first day is a time to learn, not to demonstrate your knowledge. Show that you're happy to be
there, but don't let your enthusiasm get the best of you, or you'll come across as insincere.
Instead, think on what you can bring to the table and how you can fit in with the culture. (5)
Maintain a cheerful grin on your face. Be pleasant. Demonstrate that you're delighted to be
there. People respond positively to genuineness and smiles. Inquire about your new coworkers
and show an interest in them. They will recall and appreciate your efforts. The things we say, the
way we act, and everything else that reveals anything about our personality provides the
groundwork for the other person to form an opinion about our character or personality.
Week 6: Getting the Right Job for You
If you're going to put effort into obtaining work, you should choose something that both
drives you and has an influence on an employer. It's not so much about obtaining a job as it is
about finding the ideal job – or at least a stepping stone role that will eventually lead you to
where you want to go. (1) Evaluate your abilities. Examine your skills carefully, especially those
obtained outside of work. What do you excel at? What talents do you hope to put to use in the
workplace? Make sure you have plenty of recent evidence of skill improvement, learning, and
volunteerism. (2) Determine your top ten job criteria. Create a personal wish list of the contents
in your dream employment - consider crucial elements such as the types of people you enjoy
working with, the results you want to achieve, and the working style of the organization. Then
add your values to the mix - what items or services are important to you? Look for jobs that meet
at least six of the ten requirements. (3) Concentrate on work components. Don't always use job
titles, but rather ask for specific elements, such as "I'm looking for a position that requires certain
talents, knowledge, and working style." Allow folks to offer creative suggestions instead of simply
responding to your stated job objectives. (4) Draw on your previous experience. Few people find
their dream job through career assessments. Usually, a novel approach of merging ideas and past
experience is required. Consider what you have found exciting in the past – whether at work,
school, or in leisure – and map that onto the world of work by inquiring about what individuals
actually do. (5) Consider your options before taking a risk. Before you start looking for work, do
some research. Do not rely on second-hand knowledge regarding industries; instead, conduct
your own research. Choose a few employment ideas and inquire around until you get an
opportunity to speak with people who actually do the job. That way, you can obtain a true sense
of what the work entails and learn the terminology that will land you an interview. Find folks who
enjoy what they do and can tell you what it's like to have a job from the inside. This also raises
your visibility in the underground employment market. (6) Avoid using yes/no questions. How
soon did you find an excuse to say 'no' the last time you heard about an interesting job?
Investigate your choices thoroughly and don't be discouraged by setbacks. When you're tempted
to abandon your goals, ask a close buddy to challenge you. (7) Make sure your message is clear.
When you've narrowed down your desired employment, practice presenting yourself and your
skills in short, concentrated phrases. Prepare to briefly summarize your abilities and knowledge
and explain how you might assist an organization. Determine in advance what the top half-dozen
items on an employer's shopping list are, and produce captivating stories to match. It's a good
idea to take some time for self-reflection before making any major decisions. Choosing a career
is no exception. In this step, you will consider what type of work environment you want to be in,
what type of work you enjoy doing, who you want to work with, and other factors. You might
want to jot down your thoughts as you reflect. These can be useful references later on when
analyzing job descriptions.
