VALENTINE’S DINNER

Time Management

Triandris (1974) cited in Clarke and Chen (2007) has stressed the point that how individuals view time is regarded as a difficult way of how they live. At the Valentine’s Day event held at BAC Barclays Plaza time management was an issue of apprehension.  Cottrell (2010) has a view that time management only happens if people know what they are supposed to do at what time. The parties here were student representative council and hospitality students.

Work by Soucie(1986) cited in  Hellsten(2012) has shown that in order for different individuals to make use of time the affected person should be clear of what they want to do. The planning process was done well on time but the day of the event preparations were delayed. For example table set up, due to interference from clients.  Additionally, Kelly (2002) cited in Hellsten (2012) is of the view that proper calculation of next activity must be forecasted. The delayed radio system connections and late arrivals from the guests affected the event though on the side of food and set ups were on time.

 Although, at the end the whole outcome was achieved (see above pictures) as Bardi (2011) emphasises that time management is a skill that allows an individual to do their tasks at certain times hence why in future too much interferences should be avoided.
