- Case Study: Read and examine the case thoroughly Decision-making time horizons: a hotel group A group of hotels demonstrates the different levels of decision-making and the differing time horizons that are usually involved with each level. In a group of hotels, most of the staff will be concerned with ensuring that the daily schedule of bookings run to plan and are delivered satisfactorily. The manager and senior hotel staff will, however, have wider concerns. They will probably have weekly, monthly and annual budgets and sales targets to hit. These requirements of their roles mean that they will need to consider the hotel's position up to a year ahead. The chief executive of the whole group of hotels may have a longer time frame as this person and their senior team may be considering what the potential threats and opportunities in the marketplace might be and how this particular hotel group might respond.Questions - Explain why the hierarchy of decision-making might be different in…arrow_forwardWhat is the significance of quality and suitable development and delivery schedules?arrow_forwardOk base on my fishbone diagram I prepared I need help preparing an Analysis of the following: Elements of “chaos,” identified through your 5 Whys or Fishbone diagram, that can be turned into “butterfly effects” or potential large-scale strategic opportunities for your organization providing Potential opportunities for projects that apply creativity in the solution of identified “chaotic” issues or problems within the organization And Potential leverage points that will help the organization build on a strength(s) to take advantage of strategic opportunitiesarrow_forward

Most of these new employees are college and high school students who are on summer vacation. All newly hired employees are asked to fill up the company’s application form then instructed to go directly to the manufacturing site ready to start in their first day of work.
