Drogheda duo at hospitality finals in Cork
Wednesday March 17 2010
TWO Drogheda students represented Dundalk Institute of Technology at the finals of the Irish Hospitality Institute Business Management Games 2010 in Cork.
Glenn McCormack from Beaulieu View and Denise Kierans from Anneville Crescent qualified to represent DkIT at the event in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Little Island, Cork this week.
Eleven teams of five students from eight catering colleges around Ireland competed for the overall prize of a tutored three-day visit to Champagne Taittinger's historic Château and Vineyards in Reims, North East France.
The IHI Business Game consists of a case study of a hospitality business representing real-life business issues such as interacting with competitors and the wider business environment while also managing internal business affairs.
Over the two days, the teams devised strategies as well as planning and managing a fictitious hospitality business operated in a simulated dynamic business environment, created by HOTS, the world's leading company in hospitality business management simulation software.
The Business Games are sponsored by Febvre wines, Fáilte Ireland and Irish Hotels Federation.
