  • Beyond the need to stay competitive, there are some key advantages of effective use of management information systems: Management can get an overview of their entire operation. Managers have the ability to get feedback about their performance. Organizations can maximize benefits from their investments by seeing what is working and what isn’t. Managers can compare results to planned performance by identifying strengths and weakness in both the plan and the performance. Companies can drive workflow improvements that result in better alignment of business processes to customer needs. Many business decisions are moved out of upper management to levels of the organization that is closer to where the knowledge and experience lie.

    This is a great article in that it does certainly measure productivity of the industry's work force. Perhaps it will take a few years for any one who does not use the system to fail as a business, but I feel that it is more depending on the size of the business and caliber of the business itself. A little mom and pop business may not need MIS if they have established themselves and already created a brand within their community. Although a new place that is opening with a brand which is not established, MIS is perfect for them so they can cater to the clientele and become profitable by collecting data of things such as "repeat guests", "common items bought when", "trending combinations of items bought"- given what the business is and what it is selling. Overall, MIS is a very good tool to assist in building a brand either from scratch or bringing its profitability to the next level; therefore allowing the business to stay competitive.

  • After an estimated $28 billion dollar sector bleed through COVID-19, hoteliers and hospitality professionals are facing record challenges. The first is the challenge of adaptation. Increased health and safety demands have created new barriers to normal operation. Most barriers require more staff or more capital, and with the concurrent decreased revenues and restrictions on personnel, owners are left at an impasse.

Public concern has skyrocketed, motivation to safeguard finances is at an all time high, and maintaining physical distance compromises customer care to no end. After decades of perfecting the art of personalized guest interactions, the path forward is daunting and unclear.
