The Management of Hotel Operations adopts an innovative approach to the study of hotel management based on the concept of key result areas. The book identifies and explores the fundamental
issues facing the manager - such as profitability, productivity and quality - and examines alternative strategies for achieving successful performance. The authors have drawn both on current
industry practice and on recent research and theoretical studies to demonstrate how hotel management can be made more effective. Throughout the text, a hotel is broadly defined to enable
comparisons between independent hotels, chain hotels, hostel accommodation and hospitals. The Management of Hotel Operations is an invaluable textbook for students on degree, BTEC Higher and
HCIMA Part B courses in hotel management. It also has much to offer managers in industry.
