Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 51What Are the Key Success Factors for Strategy Formulation and Implementation? Perspectives of Managers in the Hotel Industry(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020-08) Koseoglu, Mehmet Ali; Altin, Mehmet; Chan, Eric; Aladag, Omer FarukThis study investigates how hotel managers describe strategy and identify key success factors for its formulation and implementation. The study analyzes qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews with property level top managers of hotels in Hong Kong. The findings show that hotel managers prioritize competition analysis and macro-environmental conditions over internal characteristics such as teamwork in strategy formulation. In the implementation phase, however, internal considerations such as employee involvement and strategic consensus are given prominence. This study provides a significant contribution by examining how top level practitioners in the industry interpret success factors in their strategic management efforts, and it highlights a largely neglected area in the hospitality and tourism management literature.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 39Strategy Implementation Research in Hospitality and Tourism: Current Status and Future Potential(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020-07) Aladag, Omer Faruk; Koseoglu, Mehmet Ali; King, Brian; Mehraliyev, FuadTo achieve their business objectives, hospitality and tourism organizations need effective implementation as well as consistent strategy formulation. However, the implementation aspect of strategy has attracted relatively less scholarly interest than strategic planning despite its critical role in achieving performance outcomes. Consequently, it is timely to provide an in-depth analysis of the strategy implementation literature. This is particularly the case in hospitality and tourism management where comprehensive literature reviews of strategy implementation have been lacking. To address the knowledge gap, the authors conduct a systematic literature review of 139 articles that appeared in 42 journals over the period 1988-2019. The items were grouped into six topic clusters with a view to generating novel research questions that have the potential to advance the field. We identify four main gaps that should be addressed and suggest prospective research directions.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 19Origins, Evolution and Themes of Scholarly Hospitality Sources: 1960-2019(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-04) Koseoglu, Mehmet Ali; Mehraliyev, Fuad; Aladag, Omer Faruk; King, BrianThis paper provides an overview and insight into the intellectual foundations and evolution of hospitality scholarship. The authors found that hospitality research has exhibited certain defining and evolving characteristics when an extended period - six decades - is considered. Quantitative methods have predominated with ongoing efforts to reach agreement about the most valid and applicable research methods. Four of the six identified research domains are marketing related, each with its defining characteristics. Some domains are heavily reliant on sources from work originally published in "mainstream" literature such as marketing, though the fast-developing field of online reviews draws sources overwhelmingly from the hospitality and tourism journals. The paper contributes to theory by synthesizing key theoretical concerns over six decades. It also evidences the shift of hospitality scholarship from its pragmatic and operational origins to a stronger theory base offering practitioners an important reference point when confronting unprecedented industry upheavals.
