In recent years the brand has moved squarely into the spotlight as the key to success in the hospitality industry. Business strategy once began with marketing and incorporated branding as one of its elements; today the brand drives marketing within the larger hospitality enterprise. Not only has it become the chief means of attracting customers, it has, more broadly, become the chief organizing principle for most hospitality organizations. The never-ending quest for market share follows trend after trend, from offering ever more elaborate and sophisticated amenities to the use of social media as a marketing tool—all driven by the preeminence of the brand. This book brings together the most important insights from hospitality branding research and experience. Blending the knowledge of recent history with cutting-edge research and the promise of future trends, this book offers hospitality organizations the advice they need to survive and thrive in today's competitive global business environment.Less

This chapter distills important lessons from the Cornell Hospitality Brand Management Roundtable at Cornell University's Center for Hospitality Research (CHR), a one-day, interactive, high-level discussion among a select group of thirty brand executives, consultants, and professors who shared their experience and knowledge on a variety of key brand management topics. The roundtable featured provocative presentations of cutting-edge research studies by leading scholars collaborating with industry partners. The goal of the first CHR Brand Management Roundtable was to provoke change and push the status quo. Brand-related issues addressed during the roundtable include global brand building, branding by amenity, brand value, promoting brands over the Internet, brand rights, and branding by design.Less
