Globalization Strategy in the Hotel Industry

The international hotel industry is big business. This text examines the way companies such as Marriott, Hilton, Forte, Shangri-La and New World/Ramada have developed and implemented their international strategies to expand in an increasingly competitive environment.

The authors look at key issues such as: human resources, organizational change, co-operation and new technology.

They also offer a summary of the current climate of the hotel industry in three key areas: America, Europe and Hong Kong.

Using case studies, interviews with key managers and chairmen, extracts from journals and a wide variety of statistical sources this book should be a useful reference source.
