Discussion Post: Strategic Apply in Project Management
You manage a hotel resort located on the South Beach on the Island of Kauai in Hawaii. You are shifting the focus of your resort from a traditional fun-in-the-sun destination to eco-tourism. (Eco-tourism focuses on environmental awareness and education.) How would you classify the following projects in terms of compliance, strategic, and operational?
• Convert the pool heating system from electrical to solar power.
• Build a 4-mile nature hiking trail.
• Renovate the horse barn.
• Launch a new promotional campaign with Hawaii Airlines.
• Convert 12 adjacent acres into a wildlife preserve.
• Update all the bathrooms in condos that are 10 years or older.
• Change hotel brochures to reflect eco-tourism image.
• Test and revise disaster response plan.
• Introduce wireless Internet service in café and lounge areas.
How easy was it to classify these projects? What made some projects more difficult than others?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
