QSB 2414 Management Science

Management Science is managed by Ms Habizah Sheikh Ilmi and Ms Mariatul Liza. The module is taught based on the Taylor's Graduate Capabilities. In general, this subject consists of the basic of background, theories, concepts and principles of management. Besides, this module also involved the understanding on time management skills, leadership skills, information management, motivation and decision making strategies.

Upon completing the assignment given by Ms. Habizah, I am able to put all the theories I have learnt in class into the real practice which is the report writing part. For instance, in theory class, we were being lectured on the internal and external analysis (SWOT). As for our report, we were asked to identify the strength and weakness of that hotel after the interview session and come out with a conclusion whether it is considered an opportunities or threats to the hotel. In short, self-research and analyzing information skill is improved through this assignment. This also enhances our cognitive skills as we need to locate, extract and utilize all the information gathered effectively.

Besides that, it required a strong teamwork in order to complete this assignment successfully. By playing the role as a team member, I learnt how to assist the leader and co-operate well with other members. Communicate appropriately among each other in various setting and mode is important to reduce the barrier and misunderstanding in presenting out our own opinion. Luckily, my group has no conflicts among each other and we have overcome all the challenges together by brainstorming hard for the ideas in order to come out with the best strategic plan for the hotel.

In addition, I was given the opportunity to communicate with the professional people from the hotel industry. During the interview session with them, it has increased my ability in listening carefully and responds thoughtfully so that we can obtain the sufficient information for report writing purpose.

To conclude, this module has fulfilled its objective in making Quantity Surveying student in knowing the knowledge on management, be it the one from normal class or assignment. This management skill would be very useful for us as we may need this skill to control and manage our own team in the future.
