Cases in Hospitality Management: A Critical Incident Approach, Second Edition is one of the few casebooks on the market that focuses specifically on hospitality management. It adopts a critical incident approach, a powerful teaching methodology whereby customers and employees are asked to identify actual experiences regarding service in the hospitality industry - both positive and negative - and then to describe the organization's response to it. This approach encourages thorough analysis of a prominent issue, thus highlighting the wide range of complexities that face managers on the hospitality industry on a daily basis. Cases involving many segments of the industry - including airlines, railroads, private clubs, conference centers, travel agents, and restaurants - are included, as are fifteen new cases and a new section on hospitality technology.
