The Great Eastern hotel, a privately owned, independent, five-star deluxe hotel located in Hong Kong’s commercial district, is faced with a turbulent external environment owing to the current financial crisis. Since its inception six years ago, the hotel has grown in prominence during the bustling economy from 2003 to 2007, and it has been one of the top performers in the upscale and luxury market segments over the four years preceding the economic crises. The hotel’s main target market segment is the business traveler (75 percent of room bookings) who has no problem with paying USD 350 per night for a room. During the past six months, however, the hotel has been a victim of the severe economic upheaval, which has led to a significant reduction in room bookings from the business travel segment. This has reduced profits significantly to the extent that the hotel is no longer able to cover fixed costs. The owner, Jerry Kong, has called an executive committee meeting to discuss the future…

Your market surveys show that Brakpan and Nigel each provide a potential market of 2,500 burgers a day, while Springs provides a potential market of 1,000 burgers per day. Your company can only finance an outlet in one of those cities at the present time. Your main competitor, Burger Princess, has also obtained licenses for these cities, and is similarly planning to open only one outlet. If you both happen to locate at the same city, you will share the total business from all three cities equally, but if you locate in different cities, you will each get all the business in the cities in which you have located, plus half the business in the third city. The payoff is the number of burgers you will sell per day minus the number of burgers your competitor will sell per day. Set up the payoff matrix. O a. Your Competitor B N S Вг 1,5001…

In 2022, Dominoes launched a marketing plan in which they created a series of commercials to highlight their new initiative to pay customers to pick up their orders instead of choosing delivery. The change was made to address the problem caused by the "Great Resignation" and a general shortage of employees following the pandemic.
