International Hospitality Management: Concepts and Cases by Alan Clarke and Wei Chen focuses on how general management theories apply to the global hospitality industry. It analyzes how cultural and global factors influence the strategies of hospitality and tourism organizations. [1, 2]
The textbook is divided into three core parts comprising 14 comprehensive chapters (frequently consolidated into 11 main thematic sections for seasonal curricula): [1, 2]
