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

There is room for innovation and individual thought processes that could benefit the company as a whole or even one straightforward task. However, it is contingent upon taking socio-cultural differences into consideration when dealing with international organizations. For this reason, the most prosperous and successful business must be aware of changes in the cultures and societies in which it does business. As society and culture change, businesses must become accustomed to stay ahead of their competition. Therefore, to becoming an effective business leader, I must be able to analyze and evaluate all circumstances and situations that presents whether nationally or internationally.

  • Management Theory and Practice

    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.

    Strategy implementation involves establishing programs and tactics to create a series of new organizational activities, budgets to allocate funds to the new activities, and procedures to handle the day-to-day details (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman, & Bamford, 2015). Essentially, after a company determines the direction of their program, it is the how that particular direction will be accomplished. It also answers the question of what resources must be moved or sold to meet the allocated budget. For example, Ford Motor Company set up a program with the sole purpose of discovering alternatives to the foam that was being used in the manufacturing of car seats (Ford Motor Company, n.d.). While this program has a great deal of potential, there are different aspects that would have to be measured and verified before it can be considered a successful course of action by the company.

    Moreover, the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is considered the first international hotel brand in the world, as it began operations in the year 1946 (About InterContinental Hotels Group Brands, 2015). Over time the hotel group has evolved to encompass quality hotel rooms not only in North America, but in Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia-Pacific (IHG – InterContinental Hotels Group, 2015). In addition, they have acquired extended stay facilities and the Hualuxe Hotels & Resorts, which specifically “celebrates the essence of Chinese hospitality” (About InterContinental Hotels Group Brands, 2015). In my opinion, this shows that their target market has changed by expanding their scope of travel, which means they are traveling to farther and farther locations and require the familiar surroundings with equivalent product quality at the final destination. The InterContinental Hotels Group is in the fourth and final stage of the product life cycle, which is the decline stage (Editorial Board, 2014, p. 212). Indeed, the brands lengthy history indicates it has loyal customers, but its addition of innovations indicates the targeting of new customers for the organization, which are clear signs of a business in the decline stage of the product life cycle (Editorial Board, 2014, p.

    Strategic implementation is a critical factor when making decisions regarding issues that affect the vision, mission, or objectives of an organization. Strategies are often implemented in accordance to the culture of the organization, the nature of control systems, the stakeholders, and the nature of the organizational design. In order to achieve success in the implementation of strategies, the structure of these factors must work in coordination with one another. For instance, the strategic vision of CPK lies in the creation of a globally recognized brand name and therefore, all of the goals and objectives of CPK must be directed in realizing that the company achieves this objective (California Pizza Kitchen 2011). Furthermore, the vision statement is inclusive in itself in that it communicates the message in a directional, flexible, and focused manner.
