...Challenges and Strategies – Enhancing Competitiveness of Indian Tourism Industry Anurag Dugar* Competitiveness is a comparative concept, primarily applicable at the company or firm level (McFetridge, 1995) and indicates towards its willingness and ability to compete in a given market, but the contemporary usage of this term has extended its traditional meaning to new dimensions. However, for one school of thought, competitiveness is equally applicable to all business enterprises, levels of government and nonprofit agencies and workers of the postmodern nation state. (Hillman C. H. 1992), but for another the underlying premise for competitiveness is - ‘firms compete, and not nations’, for example, according to Krugman - "The world's leading nations are not, to any important degree, in economic competition with each other" (Wikipedia). Similarly, Porter holds that - diversified corporate do not compete; only their business units do. Thus, according to the second school of thought competition occurs at the business unit level and hence the ‘corporate strategy’ must reinforce and focus on nurturing the competitiveness of each (business) unit. From this perspective, Nations can be visualized as diversified conglomerates and its sectors, industries and firms as its diverse business units, and then the role, relevance, importance and impact of “Government Policies” (Corporate Strategy), on the competitiveness of its sectors, industries and firms (business units) is clearly elaborated...

...Key Points The birth of the modern cruise industry can be dated back to the 1960s. With the Airline industry taking off, shipping companies began to reposition themselves as providers of transportation to that of vacation travel. As the means of travel changed, so did its consumer base. Cruising was dominated by brands that served a more affluent customer base, providing fine dining, formal atmospheres and a high degree of personal service. However this also rapidly transformed the market and brands like Carnival Cruise lines emerged. Carnival cruises is the market leader in the low-price cruise market. They strategically achieved this position by emphasizing on-board activities, and targeting a relatively younger cruiser. However, after acquiring 24 percent of the berth space in North America, it has plateaued in being able to set itself apart from its competitors. The case in question outlines key attributes that assist in determining if it wise that the brand make a lateral shift from their current low-priced market to that of a premium one. This analysis will be assessed by means of a brand strategy, possible marketing initiatives and various concepts discussed in-class. The case goes on to highlight that although Carnival Cruises is a key player in the entry level cruise business, it has room for significant improvement. As more competitors emerge, a “sea of sameness” begins to overtake the minds of potential cruisers. The author investigates the foundations of Carnival’s...

...ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND BEHAVIORAL ATTITUDES OF HRM STUDENTS TOWARDS HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT COURSE In Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the course English2 – Basic Communication Skills II Cruz, Rangiel Ace M. Faraon, Shaira Arale B. Hrm1y2-4 Mr. Benjamin Pagco March2014 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study The responsibilities of entry-level managers in the hospitality industry are continuously changing. Obtaining and keeping a management job in a restaurant or hotel requires that a person have the ability to change. Successful managers have the enthusiasm to respond to the changing needs and challenges of their organization (Woods& King, 2002). Some of these challenges are due to the changes affecting the hospitality industry today, Consequently, the curriculum and the methods used to prepare entry level managers in this field should also be design to fit the demands of today’s industry. According to Nebel and Stearn (1977), hospitality managers should be able to provide effective leadership to employees. Similarly, in the book, titled 10 things employers want you to learn in college: The know-how you need to succeed, Coplin (2003) indicated that employers like to hire potential leaders who are skilled at stimulating people to take rational initiatives. Leadership skills are not the only skills needed by employers. In fact,leadership skills are some of the employability skills...
