The Attractiveness of Hospitality Management (Education)

The hospitality industry is facing a shortage of skilled professionals due to a perception that it is less attractive, innovative, and lucrative than other industries. EHL's Markus Venzin suggests that the hospitality industry can reposition itself as a tech-savvy, sustainable, and innovative sector by integrating AI, robotics, energy and waste management, and new materials. They believe that cross-functionality or cross-disciplinarity is key to unlocking the hospitality industry's potential. The EHL Hospitality Business School trains its students to be human-centered, with a focus on communication, leadership, and influence, and encourages their creativity and problem-solving skills. The author believes that the hospitality industry can thrive and attract top talent by highlighting the valuable competencies and opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Uncertainty ¶New Normal

In this article, Michael Levie discusses the challenges faced by the hospitality industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it has resulted in uncertainty becoming the new normal. The article highlights how the pandemic has resulted in a lack of staff and antiquated technology that has impacted the ability to sell to capacity. The article suggests that the only way to break this new mold of uncertainty is to differentiate the product by changing and creating new business processes. The article suggests that the industry should learn from other industries, such as Tesla and retail, that have successfully adapted to change by focusing on the customer's needs and adopting new technologies.
