In the fast-paced and competitive hospitality industry, effective management and control are essential for sustainable success. Family Resorts Inc., a renowned holding company for vacation hotels in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states, has successfully employed the responsibility accounting system to achieve profitability and enhance guest satisfaction. In this blog post, we will explore responsibility accounting, its benefits to a company, and how it empowers managers to achieve excellence. 1. Responsibility Accounting Defined Responsibility accounting is a powerful management control system that delegates decision-making authority and accountability to individual managers or departments within an organization. By breaking down the overall company's objectives into smaller, manageable segments or responsibility centers, managers can focus on specific tasks and performance measures related to their areas of responsibility. For Family Resorts, this translates to regional and di

    I am Lovelyn Perez, a first-year student taking Bachelor of Science Major in Information Technology. Before I make my way to the first semester of my second year in college, I am required to take my On-The-Job Training in a company or office that will not only nurture my skills in the IT field but also, prepare me to work in the real world after school. I was one of the few lucky ones to intern at my school, Gordon College, under the department of Office of the Students Welfare and Services in the Vice President's tutelage, Ms. Lovelyn P. Ceralde.   If you were to ask me what I learnt over my 200 hours as an intern at the Gordon College - Office of the Students Welfare and Services, I would say a lot. At first, I thought, "I do not think I am cut out for something like this." You see, before I could even begin my internship, I already belittled myself for believing I was not good enough. I've had my second thoughts; I almost dropped this subject for having a n

                            The XML (Extensible Markup Language) markup language offers a set of rules for encoding texts in a human-readable and machine-readable manner. XML is used to store and organize data rather than dictating how it should be displayed, like HTML elements do.              JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a data-exchange format that is simple to use. Reading and writing are simple tasks for humans. Machines can easily parse and produce it. When data is transmitted from a server to a web page, this is commonly utilized.              AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a collection of web development approaches that generate asynchronous online applications by utilizing a variety of client-side web technologies. Ajax allows web applications to transmit and retrieve data from a server asynchronously without interfering with the existing page's appearance and functionality.

                   SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a standard language for storing, manipulating and retrieving data in a Relational Database Management System. The standard SQL commands are the following: "Select" for display, "Insert" for adding a new record in the table, "Update" to change the value of one field or more, "Delete" to delete a record, "Create" to add new table/field/database, and "Drop" to delete the existing table/field/database.

                 Data Definition Language is a standard command that defines the different structures in a database. DDL statements create, modify, and remove database objects such as tables, indexes, and users. Common DDL statements are CREATE, ALTER, and DROP                Interactive Data Manipulation Language uses SELECT statement, retrieving the data from a relational database, and INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements, that are used for data modification.                Embedded SQL is a method of combining the computing power of programming language and the data manipulation capabilities of SQL. Embedded SQL statements are SQL statements written inline with the program source code, of the host language.

                From all the teachings from Ms. Sanchez, I've learned that database is an organized collection of data. And this collection can be easily accessed and managed. The database handler is able to organize the data into tables, rows, columns, and index it for convenience to finding relevant information.           The user makes a database that is accessible to all other users providing data using a set of software program. Database is mainly used  to store, retrieve and manage data through operating a vast amount of information.               Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application launched in 1985 by the Microsoft Corporation. The software is a popular spreadsheet system, which manages data using columns and rows along with the formulas that allow the software to put mathematical function to the data inside the spreadsheet. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in order for
