Volunteers It has become obvious that your plans to use unpaid volunteers are not going well. Three weeks prior to the event you have had indications of interest from only one third of the number of volunteers you anticipated using. o Describe what action you will take o Submit estimated financial costs related to this plan of action My group plan of actions: One way is that the event can ask for the university students and let their school to sponsor their event.  We can ask for some students to help them to get more volunteers, and also we can get some people via word of mouth.  The budget is no need to pay.  We will provide the students lunch, dinner, transportation and cover the costs due to budget.

Please write a response to the following scenario.  You have been selected as the Executive Housekeeper for a new hotel opening in the Spring of 2020 in Elko, Nevada.  The hotel will have 200 rooms.  Your primary responsibilities are to have the rooms cleaned and kept in great condition.  ( I choose Elko so we are not overwhelmed with a new hotel in Las Vegas, which would have more than 200 rooms.) The housekeeping department is a difficult department to run because many do not want a career cleaning up after others.  The pay is not great, and the work is physically demanding. As a new executive housekeeper, which management theories described in chapter 1 would you incorporate in your management style?  Why did you choose those theories?  Will they work in a 200 room hotel? Your response must be an essay that explains your “theories” in detail.
