Economies of Scale – within Hyatt there is a brand called Hyatt Park where I will focus and In this case they have an average of 200 rooms per hotels, so big hotels and they are situated on big cities where they are sure about the demand focusing on two main segments leisure and business. Economies of Scope: as product scope I selected the cross selling Product Scope: I realized that most of the Hyatt Park hotels have Spa, so they aren’t just focus on selling the room but also the spa in order to get more money. Because as we seen today its most of the times is better to have two products together than two separately in order to reduce costs and increase the profit. Market Scope: As most of the Hotels around the world are doing there are more than one price even for the same room, we have the seasonality issue than the rack rate corporative rate travel agencies rate, internet rate and partners as booking.com rate.

...whether Hyatt or Marriott is the better investment. This report made a valuation of both companies. Because both companies are attractive investments, the report will make a direct comparison to find the company that can offer the best future return on investment. 1. Strategy analysis 2.1 Industry analysis and Companies’ background Currently, hotels make up a giant industry. In 2010, consumers rented out 4.8 million rooms at 51,000 different properties, and in 2009, the industry took in a total of $127 billion. The industry employed over 1.7 million workers last year and paid out about $186 billion in wages to a very diverse group of employees occupying both low and high skill and wage positions. Hotels and motels are found in the following areas: approximately 40% in suburban areas, 40% in towns, 9% in cities, 4% near airports and 7% at resorts. Franchising hotels and motels is appealing because brand name is so essential. Each name represents reputation and standards as well as a certain niche in the quality of its facilities and its cost. Often chains have multiple brands representing different levels of quality and cost. Hyatt Hotels Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, is a leading global hospitality company. The Company's subsidiaries manage, franchise, own and develop hotels and resorts under the Hyatt®,Park Hyatt®, Andaz®, Grand Hyatt®, Hyatt Regency®, Hyatt Place® and Hyatt House® brand names and have locations on six continents.

...Ethical Dilemma in the Park Hyatt The Park Hyatt Hotel has been going through a lot of ethical dilemmas for the past two years with their union workers. The hotel workers are organized by the national Union Here labor union, which most hotel workers are part of. (i.e. Hilton, Intercontinental, and Starwood) But the Hyatt workers have gone on strike in this past month, because of the outsourcing practices and working conditions that the workers go through. The workers claim that they are being treated unfairly and with excessive amounts of workloads. The Union Here and Hyatt have been at a two-year discussion about the contract that the workers are under. But the workers are saying they do not care about the wages at all but the working conditions that are being upheld. With how management has not done anything about the situation is unethical behavior, because your workers are the ones that are making your customers satisfied about staying at the Hyatt. Which the Hyatt has been rated top 5 hotels to stay in the nation. But the union has said that the hotel has the worst record among national hotel chains when it comes to working conditions. The housekeepers at the Hyatt are saying that there workload is too much to handle in one day, and want to see a change with how many rooms to clean in a day. The union should fix the rules and regulations on the workers if it came to the point of all the workers picketing about how they are being treated. With my own experience...

...Globalization of Hyatt Place. What were HHC's motives in expanding its brand portfolio? Hyatt Hotels Corporation has a very huge brand portfolio, they are trying to expand it as much as possible to be one of the biggest corporations in the world and they are really close to their goal. As for me, there were several huge motives for HHS to expand its brand portfolio. The first one is to stay relevant, we are living in the 21 century, so new technologies are coming almost every day! They should follow new trends to attract costumers thats why, they expand the brand portfolio. The second reason is reaching new clients, in addition to retaining existing customers, HHC needs to continually attract new ones. What better way to do so than by expanding company’s brand portfolio? Other motive is meeting customers’ evolving needs, the company should find out why do the costumers like them and how else HHC can meet clients’ needs, to be always loved by costumers. Next reason is getting more attention, if company has a very small brand portfolio, its brand is far less likely to stand out from competition. Expanding the portfolio is the great way to stay in customers’ minds. Also, company wants to increase its earning potential, so they need to expand its brand portfolio. And the last one for me is increasing loyalty, customer loyalty is a key ingredient to long-term business success, so HHC’s efforts will pay off in spades. What are HHC's motives in choosing an internationalization...

They were discussing a possible management contract under which Majestica would be the operator of a new luxury hotel there owned by Shanghai Industrial Holdings. Majestica Hotels Inc. was one of the world’s leading operators of luxury hotels. The expansion into mainland China had been on management’s agenda since 1999. The opportunity emerged in late 2003 when a close friend of Majestica’s chief executive officer (CEO) revealed that CPS was looking for an operator for its new luxury hotel under construction in Shanghai. Majestica immediately sent representatives to Shanghai to explore the possibility of becoming the operator. Majestica’s proposal was welcomed by CPS, and a letter of intent was signed on August 20, 2004. However, in discussions regarding the management contract, the two parties had reached a deadlock. The key issues to be resolved were the contract term, and the responsibilities and rights of Majestica as the operator, and CPS as the owner, of the hotel. This Shanghai deal was important for Majestica’s global expansion. It would not only provide Majestica with the opportunity to enter the China market but could also set a precedent for Majestica’s future expansion in other emerging markets. MAJESTICA HOTELS INC.

...INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT VIPP Vipp is a Danish company producing high-end and high quality products, from dust bins and toilet brushes to whole kitchen sets. The Vipp story begins with Holger Nielsen's metal factory, where in the 1940's he created their most iconic product, which is now famous all around the globe: the Vipp pedal bin. He created it for his wife's hairdresser's salon, who needed a functional and sturdy bin. Later, dentist's offices and clinics adopted this pedal bin on account of its design and practicality. However, the conmpany Vipp was established after Holger's death in 1992, when his daughter Jette Egelund with her two childern Kasper and decided to start selling the bins not only to professional market, but to the public as well. Until present day, the company has expanded their product line from pedal bins only to wide array of bathroom and kitchen products ranging from espresso cups, laundry baskets, mirrors to towels and toilet brushes. Holger's philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: “Good design never goes out of fashion”.

Their product lines are currently offered to individuals who seek everyday products of supreme quality and classic design and are willing to pay the high-end price for them, to illustrate; their prices for the smallest pedal bins start at around 1600 DK (about 215€)...

Bob Harris is away from his family on a business trip as he is going through a mid-life crisis. Charlotte, a woman in her early twenties struggles to find a place in the world. She hoped a trip to Tokyo, with her husband would help conflicted feelings about her two-year-old marriage, her spirit, discovering a purpose and finding a career.

...Fear and Loathing at the Super Bowl, 1973, PG 607 This article was written by Hunter S. Thompson in January of 1973 about this event that took place in Houston, Texas. Hyatt Regency Hotel is where Thompson stayed. Unlike some other bard, Hyatt Regency’s bar closed at 2a.m. Drunks, hookers, gamblers, and more crowded together in the lobby. He hadn’t planned to be there at all. He doesn’t know what made him want to preach a sermon from the Book of Revelations on Super Sunday. For thirty minutes, he spent his time saying how criminals should be thrown into the lake of fire. The people didn’t have much of a reaction, except for sleepiness and boredom. While sitting alone, he felt something heavy going up his back. His first thought was a huge leech. He felt it was a sign to deliver the sermon and to write his lead for the Super Bowl story before anything happened to him. In online research, I found that Hunter S. Thompson started his journalism career after he served for the air force. He was a very good known writer and he covered more ground in four paragraphs then most writers could in many books and he penned what many people call “Gonzo Journalism.” Thompson had some health problems and at the age of 67 he committed suicide. Honestly, I only understood some of the article. Thompson must have been a great writer. When I was looking up information on Thompson, I was hoping to find out more about him talking about the sermon, but I couldn’t find anything. If someone was preaching...
