Students will develop skills in comprehending and assessing the environmental, social and economic sustainability of societal decisions in the context of tourism. A field excursion to Lady Elliott Island – located in the Southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef - will be undertaken with the objective of allowing students to develop an understanding of these societal trade-offs. The field-based learning will emphasise teamwork, as well as independent observational and enquiry skills using remote eco-resort as a context. Topics will include issues at the interface of transport and tourism management and sustainable development principles. Students will engage in preparatory learning leading up to the excursion, as well as reflective learning through assignments during- and post-trip. Around 24 hours of class, including education tours, fieldwork and presentations, are delivered on the island during the field excursion. This is a summer intensive course. Students should be aware that additional costs associated with the field trip will be incurred including return airfare to Lady Elliott Island (LEI), accommodation and food. This course is also available as an elective course in Science (SCIF3900). Read More

There is much overlap between the management of the ‘corporate’ aspects of the airline and the operational aspects. This occurs mainly in the planning processes such as fleet planning, schedule planning, and strategic planning (including business plans and annual budgets). These important processes will be covered in this subject for the functional areas that play major roles in an airline, especially resources allocation and utilisation. Engineering and maintenance, airline operations and scheduling, and crew resource provision are three major topics that are covered in detail in this course.Other airline processes are also covered in this course and play important roles in operations. These include operations control, air cargo and punctuality management. General management techniques apply to many of these functional areas. Planning, budgeting, staffing, equipment rostering, and disruption management are generic but in this course, these topics are discussed from the airline’s view.Read More

It produces an historical and conceptual map of the institution that dominated the global film industry in the twentieth century, and which continues to do so today. In focusing on cinema as a socio-cultural and economic force, both in the United States and across the globe, it examines how Hollywood has historically produced and distributed a powerful cultural imaginary and devised methods to encourage audiences to consume it. The course considers Hollywood as an early example of a genuinely global industry that initially sustained itself through the implementation of a range of industrial, economic, cultural, legal, quasi-legal, and indeed illegal conventions and practices, i.e., the star system, the production code, the studio system, the genre system, monopolistic practices like vertical integration, and the Classical Hollywood style of filmmaking.Read More
