A Call for Industry-Academia Collaboration to Address the Labor Shortage Challenge
Linchi Kwok | July 28, 2022
By Linchi Kwok When the pandemic hit, the hospitality and tourism (H&T) industry immediately responded to the crisis with furloughs and layoffs. It did not take long for the industry to realize that it must deal with the labor shortage challenge. In fact, the labor shortage challenge is not new to the H&T industry, but the “Great Resignation” during the pandemic has worsened the situation. In one of my recent publications in the Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, I presented three propositions about the labor shortage issue facing the H&T industry. The paper aims to initiate a conversation between our industr...

Scottsdale Company Helps Hotels, Restaurants Train Staff With E-Books
March 19, 2019
One in 10 Arizonans works in the hospitality industry, primarily hotels or restaurants. How all those people get their training is anyone's guess. The field is so vast that training varies greatly, which can result in service inconsistencies, poor customer ratings and employee turnover. A Scottsdale company, HMBookstore, is trying to instill uniformity with an array of more than 130 electronic learning or e-book courses that provide guidance for people working or planning to work in hotel or restaurant occupations. Brad Irby took several courses when he started work at a hotel roughly a year ago. Now he's the general manager of ...
Hospitality Education of the Future
September 18, 2018
Have you noticed that currently many CEOs of the most important hotel chains are not hoteliers? Will this mean that in the future hospitality education will not be worthwhile? On one hand, we have the current CEOs coming from the world of business, law, finance and marketing. On the other hand, majority of today's graduates of top hotels schools in the world do not go into hotel operations. Instead, they aspire for more attractive positions in sectors such as banking, luxury, healthcare, consulting, retail and lately, start-ups. Therefore the question, why will hospitality education still be needed in the future? Why young graduates, th...

Can We Control Our Own Fate? Hospitality Education and Corporations Will Have to Change Significantly
Georges Panayotis | October 3, 2017
By Georges Panayotis In a world where nothing is permanent except change, success is built each day. And in order to do that, the world of education and corporations will have to change significantly. The emergence of new trades, it's a formidable opportunity; the problem this leads to is that there are no (whether not yet or not enough) professors able to teach these trades. And how could it be any different when a discipline or technology has been around for only a few months or years? And inversely, obsolescence lurks: regardless of the field, we increasingly run the risk of leading cohorts of students in a direction where they w...
Get Yourself Back to School!
Larry Mogelonsky | February 3, 2016
By Larry Mogelonsky, MBA, P. Eng. (www.lma.ca) Attending the last Cornell Hospitality Research Summit in 2014 was a fantastic experience and one that is well worth the trek for any who can make it. As a think tank on the industry at large, there was much learning to be had and I'd recommend the conference to anyone looking for a worthwhile networking event or to catch up on some of the latest research hitting the hospitality airwaves. However, this being held at a hotel school had an unintended effect. It put me face to face with many young, bright minds who will soon enter the workforce, most likely in the hospitality field. Meeting st...
