Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book investigates the genesis and success of innovation in the hospitality industry as detailed in over four dozen case studies. In many of the cases, the innovators themselves provide the insights into their innovative inspiration and the lessons learned from the way they brought their ideas to life. The cases include innovations for improved customer service, stronger human resources, and new food service and lodging concepts.
