Question 1: Based on your reading of the book and personal experience (if applicable) what do you believe are the 5 biggest changes that a large US hospitality company could/should implement in order to utilize management innovation to:

In addition, this will help the organization to seek out the improvements required to bring the company into the future success.

The basis behind traditional management structures becoming a hindrance to the international operations of American based hospitality companies is the difference how the business world operates by the laws of a foreign country. The traditional management structure that has been used throughout the American business world will not always produce the same desired results in an international marketplace. “In today 's global and Internet-driven economy, the rapid movement of people and goods across borders means the traditional hierarchical organizational structure can slow down functions in a company” (Huebsch, 2016, para.4). Hence, rapid movement within the modern day business world requires a management structure that can be flexible to rules and regulations that govern the various international markets. The American operations of a hospitality company may require the different methods and techniques from the management team of an organization because of the climate and culture of the region where business is being conducted. As a result, a lower level employee may be more empowered aboard because the lack of available senior management on a daily basis. In addition, the newfound empowerment of the lower level employees is manifested in the development of managerial skills of all levels of
Case management refers to when a person or people in need require an environmental intervention. The Conrad Hilton Association defines case management as “one of the primary services offered to individuals and families who face multiple challenges, including severe mental illness, addiction, and homelessness.” Case management often helps those who are struggling or who are in need, however, the term tends to be used very loosely within organizations.
According to the Case Management Society of America, case management is "a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's and family's comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost effective outcomes" (Case Management Society of America [CMSA], 2010). As a method, case management has moved to the forefront of social work practice. The social work profession, along with other fields of study, recognizes the difficulty of locating and accessing comprehensive services to meet needs. Therefore, case managers work with these
We must now execute the strategy. Companies tend to lose productivity when they are not familiar with their purpose of their work and the strategy for achieving their goals and unleashing their maximum potential” (Howarth 29). The third discipline in strategic thinking is Action. Howarth describes Action as implementing a system to guarantee effective execution of strategy at all levels of your organization. He proposes the strategy formula to ensure that managers have a framework to communicate the strategy to their subordinates. The strategy formula guides the process of “channeling strategy from mind to paper” (Howarth 129). There are four components to the strategy formula; what + how + who + impact 1) What: The activity representing the purpose of the strategy 2) How: The general means or method of accomplishing the strategy 3) Who: The audience the strategy is defined to reach and 4) Impact: the desired result of developing and executing the strategy. I feel this is a method that should be implemented in all organizations. I would use this method in my company by ensuring every employee has a copy of the company’s strategy formula. It would be displayed in various areas in the company and I would make a pocket sized card with the information as well. I will constantly question employees to make sure they are familiar with the company’s strategy. The goal is to make everyone acquainted with the company’s strategy and how we plan on going from our current state to a future desired
As a new wealth for the organization, the businesses are noticing that the talent is the treasure of the company. In twenty-first century, organizations are facing the challenges of human capital that are also called “war for talent”(Ashton, and Morton, L. 2005; McKinsey, 1990). As a valuable treasure, talents whom can improve business performance and create contributions to the business become the centre of attention especially under the talent shortage environment. Cappelli (2008) notices that the rising star is worth to fight. Outstanding talent is crucial for business to achieve the competitive advantages (Iles et al., 2010). For a successful company, talented people play a center role. Thus, talent management becomes increasingly important for businesses to successes.
The most difficult challenges facing organizations is that strategies are not always efficient as originally planned. So decision taker has to be perfect while strategy formulation which is an interative process (1). For strategy formulation, decision maker should produce clearly defined recommendation, with supporting justification that covers the mission and vision of the organization (2). An effective strategy formulation enables the organization to create the strategies and strengthen their position (3).
b) Managers – that they have very little to no control over their property or employees. It seems like many important decisions have been taken away from managers, and they can not react in the best interest for the hotel chain because what’s in the customer’s best interest is usually not the same as the company’s best interest.

Up until very recently, one would be hard pressed to find in the leadership literature a general model of leadership development (Luthans&Avolio2003).Even more difficult to find is evidence-based leadership development. Specifically, what evidence is there to support whether leaders or leadership can be developed using one or more specific theories of leadership? It appears that leading large-scale organizations is more complicated than most current leadership theories and practitioner books would suggest. Part of the reason some authors are able to identify a limited number of things to be successful, such as Collins (2001), is that the purpose of their research was to identify what was different between the research group and the control group. The problem with focusing on only what is different is that it fails to identify those things that are essential to success, but were common to both groups. The danger is that people might think they can do only the few different things and still succeed.

In recent decades, the process of globalization has accelerated and the world economy has become increasingly interdependent. The rise in the number of businesses that extensively operate in more than one foreign country, which is known as multinational corporations, plays an important role in the ongoing procedure of globalization. The United Nations has reported that multinational corporations hold one-third of world’s productive assets and control 70 percent of world trade (Schermerhorn et al., 2014). As there is a considerable growth in international businesses, worldwide economy is becoming more highly competitive. The global economy not only offers great opportunities for multinational enterprises but also on the other hand, creates many difficulties for them. Therefore, success in the large-scale economy requires a number of elements. One of the major determinants is dependent on global managers.

In order to correctly elaborate on the four functions of management at Candlewood Suites, it is important to understand some significant background. Candlewood Suites is and extended stay hotel that falls under the hotel chain “IHG” (Intercontinental Hotel Group). The particular hotel examined below is a franchise owned by a family that runs numerous of different businesses. Extended stay hotels, such as the one mentioned operate on what is called a low budget. It is basically running itself, with only a limited number of staff on sight on the daily bases. Expenses to run the hotel should be low, due to a low turnover rate of guest, which should therefore keep payroll cost at a minimum as well. Due to the fact that it is a franchise, the management hierarchy is not only different, but also slightly confusing and out of order sometimes. Even though there is a general manager on site, which is supposed to function as the decision maker, the owners, which in this case are four different people tend to have the last say so in all major decisions. The management pyramid consists of the owners, followed by the general manager, and the director of sales, which is equal to the operations manager. It is also important to understand that even though the hotel is franchise owned, the “IHG” structure, as well as procedures have to be followed at all times in order to avoid fine’s or the loss of the operational license.
Strategic management is the process of formulating and implementing strategies in organizations.
