The Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management is an alliance between Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration and the NTU Nanyang Business School. This brings together the world's leading hotel management school and one of Asia's elite business schools. The mission of the Cornell-Nanyang Institute is three-fold. It aims to: (1) Develop Asian leaders, managers and entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism industry, (2) Build a world-class institution for the creation, translation and dissemination of knowledge to the hospitality and tourism industry in Asia, and (3) Deliver high-quality hospitality education and research. With Cornell's expertise in international hospitality and NBS' Asian business perspective, the Cornell-Nanyang Institute will introduce global best practices and knowledge customized for Asia's needs. The institute is thus poised to become Asia's premiere source of hospitality education and research.
The book is an invaluable resource of reference and insightful compendium by contributors who are the Cornell School of Administration's alumni, the Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management faculty, and members of its Joint Advisory Board. Their varied backgrounds and profound appreciation of the complexities in building enterprises from the ground up, or expanding an on-going business organization are the types of first-hand knowledge and perspective that is beneficial, informative, and inspirational to industry veterans and students alike. These contributors include chief executives and senior management of hotels and resorts, serviced apartments, restaurants, and food and beverage groups, who have been successful in Asia.
