Case Study corporate profile: hyatt hotels (Part 3) (continued)
Background:
Hotels can only be prosperous if they are able to meet the guests' needs by introducing innovative and diversified services and providing personalized approach — fundamental to achieving customer satisfaction.
1. Read the article and provide detailed answers to the case questions below.
A further positive aspect of the decentralized management structure at Hyatt Hotels Corporation is the fact that the individual manager is able to be extremely customer-responsive by developing a thorough knowledge of the guests' needs and thereby providing personalized service — fundamental to achieving customer satisfaction. This is, in fact, the ultimate innkeeping purpose, which Hyatt attains at high levels.
Perhaps the most striking result of this forecasting is, again, the introduction of innovative and diversified products and services. For business travelers, for example, Hyatt recently introduced the Hyatt Business Plan, which includes fax machines in every room, twenty-four-hour access to copiers and printers, and other features designed to address the needs of the targeted clientele.
Hyatt has also been on the forefront in developing faster, more efficient check-in options, including a phone number, 1—800-CHECK-IN, that allows guests to check in to their hotel rooms by telephone. In addition, the needs of families have been considered as well. The company offers Camp Hyatt, the hotel industry's most extensive children's program [1, 132-133].
