Botswana Accountancy College Students Fun Day

BAC Students fun day

Division of labour

It is worth mentioning that division of labour as defined by Kumar (2012) is the allocation of duties and tasks to individuals to be done at the same time. Botswana Accountancy College Hospitality class applied the concept of division of labour from planning process for the students’ fun day event held in the school grounds.

Division of labour is possible only if the whole team work together as each team member needs one another (Kumar, 2012).The class was divided into management teams from kitchen, Marshalls, service and from those individuals had specific tasks to perform as Bowdin et al (2012) alluded on the importance of each team member knowing what to do and when to do it. The learner was in the service department and was tasked with making sure all setups   are done on time at the event venue.

Kumar (2012) shown the advantages on division of labour that the right person is always in the right place and it allows for work to be done well as each person knows their tasks. Though Singh (2012) has shown some drawbacks on division of labour that it may result in lack of responsibility due to the individual saying ‘I have my task I cannot perform any other besides’.


Moreover, the event was a success due to division of labour which is an important thing to do in events when everyone is organised there should be no reason why the event should fail (Murphy and Becker, 1994).
