Assessment Task
Identify and critically evaluate some of the major disruptive technologies that are changing the hotel industry. Then, analyse the implications of these technologies on the operations of hotels that use them. Present your findings in an Infographic Poster (1 page) with an accompanying in-class Elevator Pitch (3minute.)
Context
Disruptive technologies are impacting the hotel industry on a global scale. An awareness and understanding of these disruptions and their effects are critically important for a modern leader. This assessment will help you to identify and analyse both the challenges and benefits that result from the introduction of these disruptive technologies into hotels, such that there is a seamless customer experience
Infographics are a popular way of presenting information, statistics, data. They are an excellent communication tool, are more memorable and effective than notes or memos and provides decision makers quick information. Moreover, utilising graphics or charts helps visual learners understand patterns, correlations, and trends.

Instructions
1. Identify technological disruptions that are changing the way hotels operate by investigating and reviewing various sources of information, including the literature, case studies and online articles. You are required use sources published within the last 5 years.
2. Critically evaluate three disruptive technologies being used in hotel operations. Address the following aspects for each technology:
a. What is the nature of the disruptive technology? (i.e. Applications, software, robotics, A.I.)
b. Where has it been implemented? (Please provide the name of the hotel and its operational use)
c. What has been the impact of its implementation? (e.g. Improved check-in experience, predictive purchasing, happier staff.). What benefits to the customer has been realised.
d. Has the hotel highlighted this new technology when marketing to potential customers?
3. Create an infographic (1-page poster) that visually captures your findings. Please attach the Reference List in the second page following the infographic.
4. Deliver a 3-minute presentation in the format of an elevator pitch to present your disruptive technologies, using your one-page infographic (with a one-page reference list) as a visual aid. This must be displayed as a one slide PowerPoint presentation on the screen (with a one-page reference list). The presentations will take place during the Week 4 class.
5. Please note that you are required to submit the infographic poster on the Sunday before 11:55pm, prior to your in-class presentation (i.e. Sunday Week 3).
