Learning Outcomes to be assessed
(from module spec.)
1. Evaluate the economic, social and technological developments
which have resulted in the importance of the service sector.
2. Evaluate critically the philosophical debate relating to the
differences between manufacturing and service operations.
6. Describe the operational requirements involved in successful
service operations management
Details of the task
Service delivery is prone to people making mistakes or in some cases systems going wrong which may impact on customers’ satisfaction and expectation of service. However, organisations must use these service failures as learning curves and design operational strategies to improve upon the standards of their service.
If services are to be managed effectively to delight their customers, they would have to deal with their problems and drive improvements in their operations. Organisations should learn from their inability to provide high level of service and not to cover-up service problems.
With reference to real world examples provide a report on service delivery.
You are to address the questions set below in your report:
1. The theory of customer service provision with reference to service nature, service failure, service recovery strategies and complaint handling techniques. Provide examples of how these strategies and techniques could be effectively applied in the hospitality and tourism industry. 30 marks
2. Discuss one significant service failure/ breakdown that you have encountered in hospitality and tourism service delivery and recommend how the breakdown could have been prevented. Explain how the situation was dealt with or handled with reference to specific service recovery technique(s) used. Provide a critical analysis of the holistic costs of the service failure associated with situation you experienced. 30 marks
3. A critical evaluation and assessment of how hospitality and tourism organisations could implement service guarantee strategies in their business operations in the context of changes (PEST factors) in consumer demands and expectations. Include the advantages and disadvantages of any implications to the organisations. 40 marks

ADVANCED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
In December 2012 the IASB issued an exposure draft on proposed amendments to IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets.
The exposure draft seeks to clarify what are and are not acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation. The amendments would prohibit methods of depreciation or amortisation which use revenue generated from an activity that includes use of the asset as the basis for charging depreciation.
Consider the following scenario:
A medical imaging clinic runs a service to scan patients. The clinic charges fees which have been calculated for different procedures based on use of the scanner and the doctors’ time in reporting the scan. The charge for scanner time is based on the machine hours for particular types of scan (a full body scan takes much longer than a scan of a knee for instance).
In the clinic’s financial statements the depreciation for scanners is based on machine hours, which is calculated by reference to the scans which have been billed. This is because the machines wear out more quickly if they are used intensively and after 20,000 hours the maintenance costs start to become prohibitive and a new scanner is usually required.
Requirement:
Prepare a comment for submission to the IASB on the proposed amendments.
Your comment should include
i) A discussion of justifications for charging depreciation/amortisation; (25 marks)
ii) an analysis of the extent to which depreciation/amortisation charges are consistent with the IASB Conceptual Framework; (25 marks)
iii) An analysis of whether the new proposal would or would not allow machine hours to be used as the basis for depreciation; (17 marks)
iv) answers to the questions for respondents contained on page 5 of the exposure draft;
(13 marks)
20 marks are available for structure, presentation and referencing.
The exposure draft is available on the IASB website at
http://www.ifrs.org/Current-Projects/IASB-Projects/Depreciation-and-Amortisation/Exposure-Draft-and-comment-letters-%5bDec-2012%5d/Pages/ED-December-2012.aspx
The word limit is 750 words, excluding references. You should include the word count on your cover page.
Overview of Project 2:
Patient Scenario Assignment
Addresses Learning Outcomes:
• Use knowledge of biological principles and the Scientific Method to ask and answer relevant questions about human health and disease
• Analyze information to distinguish between diseased and healthy structure and functioning.
• Analyze how internal and external factors cause disruption of healthy body function, leading to disease and disorders.
Patient: Mr. Smith is 60 years old. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer five years ago. Over the past few days, Mr. Smith has been feeling increasingly tired and has also been suffering from a headache that did not respond to over-the-counter medications. He scheduled an appointment with his physician.
His physician performed a physical examination and recommended a battery of laboratory tests and imaging procedures.
His blood pressure is 165/100 mmHg. MRI reveals metastasis of prostate cancer to osseous tissue. Abdominal CT shows obstruction of intestine due to nodular enlargement of adrenal glands.
The table below shows Reference values in the right-hand column. These values reflect the normal range of values for patients without disease or illness. The center column reflects the resulting values for medical test results obtained for Mr. Smith.
Take note whether Mr. Smith’s values are within normal limits.
Laboratory results from Mr. Smith’s second hospital admission and medical tests show following findings:
Mr. Smith Reference Values
K+ 2.6 mmol/L 3.8-4.9mmol/L
Hb 7.3 g/dl 13.8 to 18.2 g/dL
Hct 20.4% 45-52%
Platelet Count 20×109/L 150-400×109/L
HCO3 38 mmol/l 22-26 mmol/L
Urinary K+ 70 mmol/L/24 hr 25-120 mmol/L/24 hr
Blood Glucose 460 mg/dl 64.8-104.4 mg/dL
Serum Aldosterone 1 ng/dl <31 ng/dL
24 hour Urinary Aldosterone 8.4 mcg/24 hr 2.3-21.0 mcg/24 hr
Renin 2.1 ng/ml/hr 0.65-5.0 ng/ml/hr
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) 1082 pg/ml 9-46 pg/ml
Cortisol 155.5 microg/dL 0-25 microg/dL
CONCLUSION AND DIAGNOSIS
Laboratory findings, MRI and CT confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma, hypertension and refractory hypokalemia due to ectopic ACTH production. High levels of circulating cortisol caused continuous activation of mineralocorticoid receptors resulting in hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis and hypertension.
After reading provided scenario, answer the following questions:
1. What are the components of physical examination? Describe each component. (See Module 1, Topic B, Part B.2)
2. Mr. Smith’s blood pressure was 160/100 mmHg.
a. How does a medical provider take or measure blood pressure?
b. What do the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) numbers mean in the biological sense?
c. What is the significance the size of these two numbers?
d. Is Mr. Smith’s blood pressure within normal range? Explain how you concluded whether Mr. Smith’s blood pressure is/is not within normal range.
e. Discuss the possible health issues anticipated for a person with a blood pressure of 165/100 mm Hg.
3. Based on the data provided, what laboratory tests were performed and what samples were taken from the patient? Select one of the laboratory tests ordered for Mr. Smith and discuss why Mr. Smith’s physician might have ordered the test and the information she might have expected to obtain from that particular test.
4. Value analysis.
a. Compare Mr. Smith’s values with reference values and indicate whether Mr. Smith’s values are below, above, or within normal range (compare Mr. Smith’s values with the Reference values) for each laboratory tests in the table above from the second set of tests.
b. Select one of the values outside of normal range from the table above and discuss possible medical concerns related to the identified change in Mr. Smith’s values.
5. What imaging procedures did Mr. Smith undergo? Discuss the distinctions and similarities between the two different imaging approaches. What were the results of imaging procedures in Mr. Smith’s case?
Guidelines:
•?????????You should answer all five questions concisely and complete all parts of each question.

HELPFUL HINTS.
How Do Cancerous Cells Differ from Healthy Cells?
Precancerous and cancerous cells differ in their shapes and sizes when compared to healthy cells of the same tissue. Moreover, the size and shape are inconsistent from one cancer cell to another. Well-differentiated cancerous cells will resemble the original tissue, whereas poorly differentiated cells will look quite different from the tissue of origin. Other distinguishing characteristics of cancerous cells are
• atypical shapes and sizes of nuclei
• multiple nuclei per cell
• hyperchromatic (chromatin consists of DNA and associated proteins that stain excessively) nuclei
• missing stroma (supportive framework of cells, tissues, and organs)
• increased irregular mitosis (process of cell division that results in the production of two genetically identical cells from one parent cell)
2. What Causes Cancer?
The answer to this question is not as simple as it may seem from the information available from mass media. Cancer is a multifactorial disease where not just one, but several factors contribute to the changes in the cell from normal to cancerous. The interplay of internal and external factors including viruses, the activation of cancer-promoting and the inhibition of cancer-suppressing genes, exposure to chemical substances and radiation, and inherited predispositions for some types of cancer all contribute to the changes in a cell leading to a cancer.
Both DNA and RNA viruses play a role in the etiology (study of causes, for example, causes of disorders) of cancer. Examples of DNA viruses associated with cancer are Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus. HPV is associated with cervical cancer and Epstein-Barr virus with cancer of the nose and throat. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an RNA virus, has been linked to Kaposi’s sarcoma.
Cigarette smoke is probably the most discussed carcinogen that is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. However, other chemicals have also been linked to cancer. Exposure to asbestos is associated with lung cancer, excessive intake of alcohol is linked to esophageal cancer, and a low-fiber diet plays a role in the development of colon cancer. Overall, nearly half of the cancers are related to smoking and diet (Lipsky, n.d.). Excessive sun exposure is associated with accelerated aging of the skin and also with skin cancer.
3. What Is the Role of Oncogenes in Cancer Development?
Most cells in the body divide on a regular basis. Each division requires replication of the original DNA. Therefore, alteration in a single cell’s DNA may lead to an uncontrolled division and ultimately to a cancer. The cell’s division and growth are under genetic control. Proto-oncogenes are genes necessary for proper replication, transcription, and cell growth. A proto-oncogene (a normal gene that has the potential to turn into an oncogene) can turn into an oncogene (a gene that can make a normal cell become cancerous) by insertion of a retroviral promoter, translocation of a chromosome (part of a broken chromosome attaches to a different chromosome), point mutation (a single nucleotide base substitution), or gene amplification (production of multiple copies of a single gene). Other genes that play a role in carcinogenesis are tumor-suppressor genes. Gene alteration can cause tumor-suppressor gene inactivation (see Figure 1.6) (Schneider, 1993).

Furthermore, DNA repair genes can also be damaged by mutations, inherited or acquired. These mutations may lead to an accumulation of ineffective products and may participate in the development of cancer (see Figure 1.7). In Figure 1.7, move your mouse over the green words to see more information.

4. Tumor Grading and Staging
Like schoolchildren, tumors are graded. However, unlike schoolchildren, who want to get the highest numbers of points, in the case of tumors lower numbers are better for treatment and prognosis. Tumors are graded based on biopsy results. In histopathological analysis (microscopic analysis of tissue searching for microscopic, disease-related changes in the tissue) of tissue samples from the tumor, the degree of cellular differentiation and the resemblance of the samples to the original tissue are evaluated under the microscope. Well-differentiated tumors have lower scores (1 and 2) and thus a better prognosis.
Tumors are also staged to determine how far the cancer has advanced, what treatment plan is appropriate, and what the prognosis is. Staging assesses the tumor’s location, the level of infiltration of surrounding tissue, the involvement of the lymph nodes, and the presence of metastases. A TNM system is used for tumor staging. T stands for the primary tumor. Tis indicates tumor in situ, or a cancer localized to its area of origin. T1 through T4 indicate the size of the primary tumor; the smaller the number, the smaller the tumor. N stands for a node, and N0 means no evidence of cancer presence in regional nodes. N1 through N3 indicate the presence of cancer in the regional node. N4 indicates cancer in the nearby regional nodes. M stands for distant metastasis of the tumor. If M0 is assigned to a tumor, it means that there is no sign of metastases. M1 indicates the presence of metastases.
5. How Is Cancer Treated?
Depending on the type and the stage of the tumor, the following therapeutic options are available:
• surgical procedures
• chemotherapeutic drugs
• radiation therapy
• hormonal therapy
• immunotherapy
• bone marrow transplant
6. Can We Prevent Cancer?
Yes and no. We can definitely take preventative steps to decrease our risk for developing a cancer, but we cannot eliminate all risk factors from varied causes of cancer. Moreover, cancer has a definite genetic component.
Prevention involves changes in biological and environmental factors and screening. Everyone can make lifestyle changes aimed at prevention. For example, you can quit smoking, eat more dietary fiber, and decrease your exposure to the sun. Commonly used cancer screening methods are the Pap test for cervical cancer, mammography for breast cancer, fecal occult blood test and colonoscopy for colorectal cancer, and the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer.
As we mentioned, cancer has a strong genetic component. Therefore, awareness of your family history can suggest whether you might be at increased risk for certain types of cancer such as breast, ovarian, and colon cancers. Knowledge of your family history allows you to keep a watchful eye for early symptoms of cancer.
Often it is the patient who makes the biggest difference between early and late detections of cancer. It literally pays to pay attention to nonspecific symptoms such as indigestion, long-lasting cough, skin lesions that are not healing, visible changes in warts or moles, the presence of a lump, and unusual bleeding or discharge (Martini, 2000).
