Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Companion to International
Book SynopsisThe hospitality sector is facing increasing competition and complexity over recent decades in its development towards a global industry. The strategic response to this is still that hospitality companies try to grow outside their traditional territories and domestic markets, while the expansion patterns and M&A activities of international hotel and restaurant chains reflect this phenomenon. Yet, interestingly, the strategies, concepts, and methods of internationalization as well as the managerial and organizational challenges and impacts of globalizing the hospitality business are under-researched in this industry.While the mainstream research on international management offers an abundance of information and knowledge on topics, players, trends, concepts, frameworks, or methodologies, its ability to produce viable insights for the hospitality industry is limited, as the mainstream research is taking place outside of the service sector. Specific research directions and relateTrade Review"In the cusp of a new industrial revolution, how is international hospitality shaped by the various emerging forces and pressures and how are businesses responding to the new challenges? Is the hospitality business culture changing and what business models will be adopted to address the dynamism of the hospitality environment in the new networked economy? This companion is reader-friendly and very useful resource equally for early-career and seasoned hospitality researchers and practitioners in answering these questions and many others that arise in the field of international hospitality business management." Prof. Dr. Alexandros Paraskevas, University of West London, UK"The hospitality industry has always considered itself to be an international business, but today´s challenges as a result of progressing globalization have a completely different dimension than twenty years ago. It was about time for this handbook, as this anthology will provide readers with an extensive overview of issues pertaining to the strategic and operational debate on globalization within the hospitality industry." Prof. Dr. Stephan Gerhard, Serial Hospitality Entrepreneur, Owner/Founder TREUGAST Solutions Group, 25hours, Arcona Hotels & Resorts etc., Germany"As an international industry, the hospitality business is facing fast-paced changes as a result of exponential growth and economic strength in China and the Asia-Pacific region. This handbook will empower readers to master challenges ahead and to leverage the opportunities of globalization and growth in the hospitality sector. Its industry-oriented approach is extremely useful and well balanced resource for practitioners, academics and students in international hospitality management and beyond."
