Delivering the tools to improve strategic decision-making in hospitality firms…The Handbook of Applied Hospitality Strategy is a comprehensive resource for advanced students and serious practitioners focused on hospitality strategic management. The Handbook includes original thought on key topics, critical articles from the pages of the Cornell Hospitality Quarterly, and integrative commentary. Particular emphasis is placed on the strategies and decisions that determine the long-run performance of a corporation within a competitive hospitality industry context. The Handbook is divided into eleven parts that follow the key activities of the strategic management process. The lead chapter for most parts of the book is a featured work that is original and offers cutting-edge discussion on an important facet of hospitality strategy. Each of the eleven parts of the book concludes with a commentary chapter that reflects on all of the works included in that section. Throughout the chapters, the authors have offered new ideas, models and frameworks, managerial implications of research findings, and suggestions for future practice. The emphasis is on strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Key issues such as pricing, service delivery, experiential branding, franchising, acquisitions and mergers, human resource management, change management, and culture creation are featured. As the role of strategic decision-making grows in importance in hospitality firms, the Handbook of Applied Hospitality Strategy delivers a comprehensive volume on core ideas and practices with useful managerial implications from senior industry practitioners and top hospitality scholars, making this an invaluable resource for tourism and hospitality programs as well as industry professionals.
