    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book evaluates how and why vertical disintegration has occurred in the global corporate hotel industry, as it undergoes a structural transformation. It provides a unique insight into the new competitive landscape. Underpinned by academic literature, it includes first-hand accounts from the most eminent senior executives of firms in and around the industry. It provides an in-depth perspective of a modern industrial phenomenon and makes observations as to the profitable way forward for the industry.


    This text is an important read for those working, advising and investing in the sector as well as for students, graduates and researchers.



    "I think that this book is an excellent addition to the field. The breadth of perspectives is very new and much needed. Professor Roper has teased out the ideas and views of industry commentators and persuaded them to depart from the public relations lines that they oftentimes have to deliver at conferences and in interviews with journalists. It is not only that she has interviewed well, but her knowledge and understanding of the topic means that the views of commentators are evaluated in an effective as well as novel way." Paul Slattery, Director, Otus & Co
