...the one who serves and meets guest everyday will actually bring hotel the most benefits in terms of revenue and reputation. They have the equivalent aim of maintaining the hotel as the top five-star hotel in the world. In another point, although working in the hospitality industry is quite tough and hard, people in InterContinental Hong Kong always feel passionate about their job and always come with the warmest smile to both colleagues and guest. As I observed, the peer influence play an important role among employees. Take my department as an example; all the colleagues will act like family and friends to finish their work as soon as possible. They will also ease each other’s tension during busy slot. According to my observation, the management style in ichk is participative style. The participative style allows input of ideas from everybody. However, the aim and standard are still clear. It will be very effective when a group of employees are working together and the colleagues involved have enough experience. Moreover, the working environment is also essential that it can more or less encourage the colleagues to voice out opinions in different point of views. During the trainees’ meeting and the trainees’ luncheon, we are allowed to ask and show our interests towards the industry. Other than that, take lobby lounge as an example, manager sometimes invites us to give ideas on upcoming promotions and the way we can promote our current products. It is a very good practice...

...Introduction RSH, which stands for Rubin, Stern and Hertz is an investment banking company located in New York City. Peter Thomson, who was their star semiconductor analyst, announced his resignation after getting an offer from one of their competitors. Due to this reason, RSH is faced with a challenge of finding Thompson’s replacement since in the current market situation it is hard to get a star analyst ready to shift companies. Thomson was not only the company’s star semiconductor but also the particular one that it had. The company needed a high attention to the semiconductor manufacturing since his role could not be left unoccupied for long. Stephen, who was the manager of research at the company, formulated a backup plan and convinced Rina Peter’s junior analyst to stay in the business and he promoted her to be a senior provisional analyst (Matthews, 2012). Discourse However, Stephen was still faced with a difficult task to hire a permanent replacement for Peter from outside or to offer Rina a permanent deal. The corporate norm of the company was unusually firm in its research sector. The senior research analysts usually began as a junior analyst and later promoted. Various analysts of the company supported each other, and there was no competition between them.

The majority of business niches are composed of only a handful of different businesses, but this field applies to nearly any company that is focused on customer satisfaction and meeting leisurely needs rather than basic ones. One of the most defining aspects of this industry is that it focuses on customer satisfaction. While this is true of nearly every business, this industry relies entirely on customers’ being happy. It is for the reason that these businesses are based on providing luxury services. Very few hospitality businesses provide a basic service that people need, like food or clothing. Another defining aspect of this industry is its reliance on disposable income...

...SOGO: A FRESHMAN'S ARCHITECTURAL CRITIQUE 03/11/2014 0 COMMENTS The hotel industry is one growing business in the Philippines, among others. It was made, primarily, to provide accommodations, shelter, food and other services to tourists and travellers. Eventually, hotels have adapted to the progression of society, adding new features and functions to attract more customers, yet, in recent times, hotels have started to become different than usual, changing its function into something very sensitive. Hotel Sogo serves as an example. Hotel Sogo is a four-star hotel that was established in 1992. Today, it has a total of 32 branches nationwide, but the critique will focus on the North Edsa branch. The Hotel Sogo - North EDSA Branch is located behind Trinoma Mall. Standing beside many commercial establishments an MRT Station, and a major road, the Red-colored building catches the attention of many. Its facade is boxy, simple and plain. It was colored mainly in red, with accents of yellow, probably to attract more attention. Assuming that a viewer is standing a few meters from its facade, having the chance to view the whole building will be difficult because of many telephone and electric wires and the MRT tracks obstructing the view from that point. At the left of the facade is a driveway that leads to the basement parking. The entrance also served as the exit way, which makes it difficult for cars going down to go up if another car is moving out. The parking had...

...MAJESTICA HOTEL IN SHANGHAI? On March 20, 2005, Richard Roy, executive vicepresident of Majestica Hotels Inc., was in China, for negotiations with Commercial Properties of Shanghai Limited (CPS). They were discussing a possible management contract under which Majestica would be the operator of a new luxury hotel there owned by Shanghai Industrial Holdings. Majestica Hotels Inc. was one of the world’s leading operators of luxury hotels. The expansion into mainland China had been on management’s agenda since 1999. The opportunity emerged in late 2003 when a close friend of Majestica’s chief executive officer (CEO) revealed that CPS was looking for an operator for its new luxury hotel under construction in Shanghai. Majestica immediately sent representatives to Shanghai to explore the possibility of becoming the operator. Majestica’s proposal was welcomed by CPS, and a letter of intent was signed on August 20, 2004. However, in discussions regarding the management contract, the two parties had reached a deadlock. The key issues to be resolved were the contract term, and the responsibilities and rights of Majestica as the operator, and CPS as the owner, of the hotel. This Shanghai deal was important for Majestica’s global expansion. It would not only provide Majestica with the opportunity to enter the China market but could also set a precedent for Majestica’s future expansion in other emerging markets. MAJESTICA HOTELS INC. Majestica was founded in 1970 in Western...

...Recommendations for Change at Red Star An Analysis of the Haier Group (A) Case As Haier Group looks to Acquire Red Star, Zhang Ruimin must consider the strategy for change that he must implement. While the changes that need to be made may be obvious on the surface, the method he chooses to invoke change is critical to the initiative’s success. Zhang faces an organization that has suffered years of poor management, where no motivation exists throughout the business. Careful consideration of the circumstances at Red Star must be analyzed before employing Theory E, Theory O, or a synthesis of the two. The most effective conclusion to the method of change to be used as Haier Group acquires Red Star is a synthesis between Theories E and O; specifically, a focus on cultural change using a very programmatic plan. To be successful in his change effort at Red Star, Zhang must first consider what has worked well for him in the past. He has been through several campaigns for change while at the helm of Haier Group, originally known as Qingdao General Refrigerator Factory. His first effort started in 1984, on his first day at QGRF. Zhang chose to lead the organization because he saw it as a challenge. The company was suffering from poor quality and increased competition. Zhang saw the potential for a star in the industry and knew he was the right person for the challenge. The changes he made were both structural (Theory E) and cultural (Theory O) in nature. After...

...Proceedings of the 15th Annual Conference of the Association for Chinese Economics Studies Australia (ACESA) Guanxi Neglect at the Roaring Dragon in South-west China: The demise of an International Management Contract Stephen Grainger1 University of Western Australia ‘guanxi neglect – neglecting opportunities to show respect towards guanxi relationships’ Abstract This paper introduces the concept of guanxi neglect through a case study that describes the takeover of a formerly Chinese managed hotel by a western based, international hotel management company. Specifically, it covers the cultural conflict that occurred for employees trying to adapt from the former Chinese relationship (guanxi) based planned methods of hotel management to that of the more market oriented, management company. Conclusions that are drawn highlight cultural characteristics and issues that companies taking over or approaching joint-ventures with SOEs, are advised to be aware of. In recent years, the hotel business environment in south-west China has undergone significant changes. China’s opening-up has encouraged an outbreak of new hotel construction and property speculation as companies and investors hope to cash in on the domestic and international exposure of the unique region. Prospects for growth in the number of tourists and investors visiting the region in the future were good. 1 Correspondence to: Stephen Grainger The University of Western Australia Perth, W.A., AUSTRALIA Email:...
