Hong Kong's PolyU Study Finds Cultural Values Influence Service Provision

Cultural values have a significant influence on service delivery in Hong Kong's tourism and hospitality sectors, according to Dr Nelson Tsang of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) in a recently published research paper by the International Journal of Hospitality Management. Dr Tsang surveyed frontline staff to identify the link between specifically Chinese cultural values and service delivery and determine the most influential of those values. He argues that the human resource professionals and managers of multinational service firms "must work to analyse Western organisation management concepts and methods critically" to evaluate "how their core values differ from those of the Chinese". The management implications for these firms are considerable.
