and references) and conduct an eight-minute presentation (plus three minutes for
questions and answers), concerning the current state of research in one of the
research areas listed below (or you may choose another area/topic of your interest but
it must be related to human resource management or organizational behavior). In this

hospitality and tourism journals. Suggested topics of the paper include:

or the theory being introduced? What is the topic about?)

o What studies have been done on this topic in hospitality and tourism (or in
management)? (20+ articles)

o What were the key findings?

o What were the limitations of these studies?

o What can be done to address those limitations?

discussed?
