Assignment Task and Requirements:

WHAT ARE YOU ASKED TO DO?

Building on the research you have carried out in assignment 1, design a Poster that informs us about

‘A tourism company that has been affected by inflation in the past and how they overcame this challenge’.

This task will require you to include all of the following:

1. Provide an overview of the company and their product/service.
2. Identify the period and causes of inflation that the company experienced in the past.
3. Include research from reliable sources that identifies the theories and models that can be used to reduce the negative impacts of inflation and increase the positive impacts.
4. Use images and charts to help demonstrate the research.

Assignment Guide and Format:

Your poster needs to include the following Headings:

1. Provide an overview of the company and their product/service – this information must come directly from the company chosen, such as  the company website, not from your own knowledge.  The poster should have the company logo represented close to this section.
2. Identify the period and causes of inflation that the company experienced in the past – using the research you used in task one to identify periods of inflation, research your chosen company to identify how they were affected at the time. Company annual reports are a great research tool for this.
3. Include research from reliable sources that identifies the theories and models that can be used to reduce the negative impacts of inflation and increase the positive impacts – using textbooks and journals explain which models and theories your chosen company used to aid them during the time of inflation. Company annual reports and specialist industry reports on your chosen company can also be a source of information to aid in this task.
4. Use images and charts to help demonstrate the research – you must ensure the images are from a reliable source and not created by yourself. The images must also be clear to read.
