"In the cusp of a new industrial revolution, how is international hospitality shaped by the various emerging forces and pressures and how are businesses responding to the new challenges? Is the hospitality business culture changing and what business models will be adopted to address the dynamism of the hospitality environment in the new networked economy? This companion is reader-friendly and very useful resource equally for early-career and seasoned hospitality researchers and practitioners in answering these questions and many others that arise in the field of international hospitality business management." Prof. Dr. Alexandros Paraskevas, University of West London, UK

It was about time for this handbook, as this anthology will provide readers with an extensive overview of issues pertaining to the strategic and operational debate on globalization within the hospitality industry."
