How to Run a Great Hotel: Everything You Need to Achieve Excellence in the Hotel Industry - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You don’t need anyone to tell you just how competitive the hotel industry is; you areprobably all too aware of that fact. Of course, the exact nature of the competition youface depends on factors such as your location and the markets you are in, but for sure,you will be competing with others for your share of the spoils. This is a good thing,even if it doesn’t always feel that way, because it forces you to stay on your toes.The challenges in hotels are compounded by the fact that the industry isparticularly susceptible to economic volatility and other shocks which are beyondour control. The current global recession is a good example of that instability. Addto this mix an ever more savvy and demanding customer and it is clear thatour industry is as competitive as it gets. In such a dynamic environment, it isnot an exaggeration to say that only the very best hotels can prosper over thelong term.It is for this reason that excellence is a paramount concern in our industry.

Whatever yourparticular circumstances, excellence matters because customers increasingly de-mand it and lasting success in our industry stems from an ability to deliver it.Towards excellenceThe path to excellence lies in taking a long-term view of business developmentand involves constantly question what it is you are doing and why you are doingit, with a view to continuously improving every aspect of your operation. Seekingto achieve excellence requires a consistent focus on four central themes which areregularly seen, not only in all great hotels, but in all leading businesses.

You Know what I Mean?: Words, Contexts and Communication - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Does a word mean what it says? Sometimes - but not always. Everyone thinks that meaning is contained within words - like sardines in a tin, or milk in a bottle. After all, words are nice stable things that you can look up in a dictionary aren't they? But dictionaries only take us so far... If you eavesdropped on a teenage conversation, rushing to a dictionary - with its definitions frozen in time - wouldn't help much. Who's using a word and to whom, in what context, for what purpose - all these influence the meaning of the language we use. The word's origins and history (its 'genetics') also help. Try teaching yourself another language from a phrasebook and you'll soon learn that you can be correct, in the formal sense, but still way behind the times in reality. In this book Wajnryb considers these and other questions to explore how and why our language works the way it does.

Television Today and Tomorrow: It Won't Be What You Think - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In recent years, the media has been awash in exuberant tales of the arrival of the information superhighway, when television will explode with exciting possibilities, offering some 500 channels as well as a marriage of TV and computer that will provide, on command, access to the latest movies, magazines, newspapers, books, sports events, stock exchange figures, your bank account, and much, much more. And the major TV networks, pundits add, will be doomed to extinction by this revolution in cable, computers, and fiber optics. But in Television Today and Tomorrow, Gene Jankowski--former President and Chairman of the CBS Broadcast Group--and David Fuchs--also a former top executive at CBS--tell a different story. They predict a bumpy road ahead for the information superhighway, and the major networks, they say, are abundantly healthy and will remain so well into the next century. The information superhighway, Jankowski and Fuchs admit, will dramatically increase the distribution channels, but it will have little impact on the amount of programming created--and this may spell disaster. The authors show how the networks began as a way to provide programs to local stations (who could not afford to produce their own), who in turn provided the distribution that gave networks access to mass audiences and ultimately large advertising dollars. They then offer us an inside look at television production--showing us, for instance, a veteran scriptwriter putting together a breakfast table scene for "Cloud Nine"--to underscore how much effort goes into producing just two minutes of primetime programming. They reveal that the present 20 channels require some 20,000 hours of programming each year, which is more than all the Broadway plays produced in this century, and they conclude that without a dramatic increase in programming (which won't happen if only because of the very finite supply of talent), the superhighway will be jammed bumper-to-bumper with reruns, old movies, and inexpensive programming aimed at tightly focused audiences ("narrowcasting" as opposed to "broadcasting"). This is hardly the bonanza the pundits have promised. The authors point out that the media blitz about the new technology has hardly focused on programming, or on funding, or on what needs these 500 channels will fill. The major networks, on the other hand, will remain the only means of reaching the whole country, and the only channels that offer a full schedule of current, live, and original programs, free of charge. And thus they will continue to attract most of the audience of TV viewers. The real loser in the cable revolution, the authors contend, is PBS, whose role as an alternative to network TV has been usurped by cable stations such as The Discovery Channel and Nickelodeon. This is a brass tacks look at television with an eye on the bottom line by two men who boast over sixty years of experience in the medium. If you want to understand television in America, where it came from and where it is going, you will need to read this book.
