Summary:

This book, drawing upon hundreds of examples from leading large and
small hospitality organizations, shows how human resource strategies
and programs are proving to be the key to success in the hospitality
industry of the 21st century. In particular, this book introduces a
new approach to the study of human resource management in the
industry. Human resource management is the link between the
organization's people and the customers they serve. In this book, for
the first time ever, all three parts of this critical triad
relationship are examined and through the use of examples,
self-feedback exercises, and case studies in each chapter, readers
are given the opportunity to both learn and apply human resource
concepts to job-related situations.
