The company
Established in Hong Kong in 1963, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is and
international hotel investment and management group operating ten
hotels in the Asia-Pacific region. The company manages each of these
hotels and has significant ownership interests in all but Mandarin
Oriental, San Francisco and the Phuket Yacht Club Hotel and Beach
Resort, Thailand.
Mandarin Oriental’s overall corporate quality goal is to achieve a
level of excellence that sets the group apart from all of its
competitors in the eyes of customers, investors and staff. In order to
achieve this level of excellence it strives for total customer
satisfaction in its service delivery, and to consistently be a leader
in the industry in terms of profitability and the creation of a
rewarding working environment for all of its staff.
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel has, from its creation, received
recognition for providing a level of products and services of the
highest quality. While traditions of consistent quality service
delivery are practiced at each of the hotels, the challenge to the
Group is to develop an ongoing corporate culture of quality service
drawing upon the strengths of each individual hotel.
At the beginning of 1993, the company introduced a new Group Mission
Statement that has been rolled out to every member of staff through
personal presentations by the Managing Director at every hotel and
corporate office. This Mission Statement has been published in
English, Chinese, Thai and Indonesian, and serves as a model in that
it conveys guidelines and criteria that can be used by hoteliers who
wish to monitor and evaluate their own leadership and quality
improvement efforts.

...he same as those employed to build their business, they are tied
to each other.
They are currently developing a Group-wide Guest History network
whereby the “history” of a customer of any one hotel can be accessed
by any other hotel so that preferences are immediately responded to
even if it is the customer’s first use of a new hotel. When this is in
place, a customer of Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong who prefers a
particular type of beverage will find it waiting for him upon arrival
at The Oriental, Bangkok.
They follow up their customers with a personalized written response to
every comment card or letter received and recently have begun
telephoning customers for follow up. In every case they strive to let
the customers know that they appreciate their comments; that their
experiences are important to them; that they want to address the
specific instance generating the comment; that they want them to be
satisfied and, finally, if appropriate, they explain the change that
will be made in their processes to assure achievement of better
customer satisfaction in the future.

There are many contrasts in the beliefs and values of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages was a time of great suffering, including famine and widespread disease. The Renaissance, however, was a revival of art, learning, and literature. Their views of the purpose of life in the present world and man's place in the world was, perhaps, the greatest contrast. However, their views on politics, religion, and education were very different as well.
Before the Renaissance, art was all about religion, and lacked emotions and details. Renaissance Art had stronger emotions, well defined landscapes, and utilized 3D figures. The Renaissance is also when artists started making names for themselves, and began being recognized for their works. During the Renaissance time people learned how to make more complex things such as art and this in the future will change the way people will see art. For instance in (Document A), the [clearest] evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from the visual arts. It was the essence of the Renaissance one begins to know the names of the artists, feel stronger emotions in the subjects, see well
Religion, technology, literature, and certain people were a part of the change between the Medieval Times and the Renaissance Period throughout Europe. The certain places that were most affect by this change was France, England and Italy. Each one was effected differently in many ways. The change in Italy all started in the 14th century. But due to the cause of the war in 1337 to 1453, the change in England and France all started in the late 15th century. Religion, technology, literature and certain people were a part of the medieval and Renaissance times the only difference between the two of those is that in the medieval times was more about religion and literature. In the Renaissance period it was more about the new technology that was coming out also about certain people who were making that change and helping people believe that the Renaissance time was better than the medieval times. When then Renaissance period accord it’s been all revolved around God, something’s were and something’s weren’t. During the change from the medieval times in the Renaissance period there were a lot...
“The world is waking out of a long deep sleep…” (Doc. 5) A.J. Froude finds specific examples that lead him to the understanding that their was distinction between both periods. The Life and Letters of Erasmus say that the church was a corrupt place and there was no religious teaching. Erasmus is trying to say in his book, directed tot the Prince, that he should bring back the respect of the Church and religious aspect to give the Church power again. These statements written by Erasmus show the want by townspeople for change. In the Middle Ages many people disregarded the advancement in society and only thought about the world and they were not humane. Erasmus shows how humanist actions begin. “In the Middle Ages both sides of human consciousness lay dreaming or half awake…the Renaissance we find artists who in every branch created new and perfect works…” (Doc. 2) From The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy by Jacob Burchardt he identifies that medieval man was childish, half-awake controlled by faith and defined by his group of membe...

Another reason that causes the negative relationship between sleep deprivation and academic performance is the impact of high-stress level that is caused by sleep deprivation. As mentioned earlier, sleep deprivation could decrease a student’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, it can also make the students feel more stressful. According to the survey conducted in Ball State campus, there are 15 students that often do their homework before they go to bed. 10 students play video games, computer games, and mobile games before they go to sleep. 8 students use their electronic devices to do social activities. 5 students watch movies and television series and 2 students read books before they go to bed. This information proves
Each year, America’s travel and tourism industry generates approximately $1.5 trillion dollars in economic output, or about 2.6% of the country’s gross domestic product (Select USA, 2016). Nearly 20% of this economic activity is directly related to accommodations, which serve the short term lodging needs of pleasure and business travelers. Unlike other American economic sectors, this lodging industry is a highly fragmented, diversified market with an incredible variety of suppliers. Temporary overnight lodging can range from undeveloped campsites, hostels, and capsule hotels all the way up to mansions and incredibly luxurious five store hotels. Price ranges run the gamut from just a few dollars a night to thousands of
Everything in the Renaissance period was reborn after the long period of the dark middle ages. During the middle ages most things were static there was not a lot going on in the forms of literature and art. From the word of ancient Rome and
1. The philosophy behind the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is to have the guests act as quality-assurance inspectors by identifying quality deficiencies and reporting them to hotel employees. I do think that this is a good way to improve service quality; however, I am not sure that it is the best way. While it may seem to consumers that employees will try harder to satisfy them, if employees are empowered to refund a customer’s money, they do not have to answer to management, they can just do it.

Sleep loss and shifting sleep patterns are known to be widespread across college campuses throughout the United States and the world at large. Yet, while many studies exist relating sleep to performance, a much smaller amount of studies focus on the Through analysis of these sources as they would prove useful when researching and writing upon the idea of sleep and its correlation to academic performance it was found that a paper titled “Sleep-Wake Patterns and Academic Performance in University Students”, which was presented to the European Conference on Educational Research, is overall the most useful source represented to research the topic.
The site has a large number of wind turbines. The first wind farm to be built was the Coomagearlaghy/Kilgarvan wind farm. This site was commissioned in 2006 and is operated by SWS. This site contains 15 Vestas V90/3000 turbines each with a power of 3MW. The total nominal power of the site is 45MW. This section of the site is estimated to have an annual production of 112GW.h (for an equivalent of 2,500 hours of full load/year).
In spite of having numerous structures in place to ensure a luxurious guest experience, the Oberoi Vanayvilas (OV) failed to provide a quality service to its hotel guest. To recover from this service failure, we recommend OV to sincerely apologize and ‘offer refund for the third night and a credit for the two nights for a future stay with additional hotel perks tobe used at OV within a year’ to the impacted guest. Main drivers for our recommendation are to convey a message that Oberoi sincerely cares about the customer inconvenience and wants its guest to revisit the hotel to win over the customer by its exemplary quality service.
The wind is an incredibly valuable renewable energy source and is in the forefront of renewable energy developments. It is used to convert wind energy into energy that can be harnessed and used via a variety of methods, including; wind turbines, windmills, sails and windpumps. For a renewable energy source, however, it is wind turbines that are used to generate electricity (see figure 1). Wind power has been used for this since the end of the nineteenth century, after Professor James Blyth of the Royal College of Science and Technology first attempted it (Boyle, 2012). However, It wasn’t until the 1980s that using wind power technology was sufficient enough to experience a rapid growth of the technology.
