Monica Brophy is Marketing Executive for the Tourism Research Centre. She has a first class honours Masters in Marketing from the Michael Smurfit School. She recently completed a publicly funded project by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment for the hotel industry entitled Hotel Management Skillnet. This research-based project developed a competency-based model for middle managers in the three star hotel sector. Three competency-based tools were subsequently developed to assist implementation. An application has been made to extend funding for this project until the end of 2004.
