Cross-Cultural and Global Hospitality Management

Cross-Cultural and Global Hospitality Management

Burma officially called the Republic of the Union of Myanmar has recently emerged from years of international isolation and trade sanctions .  The end of sanctions and the relaxation of military rule is predicted by some economists to welcome in a new era of economic growth . International Tourism is predicted to be a fast growing part of the Burmese Economy in the next decade .  Burma is becoming more accessible and beginning to compete against other Asian destinations in the international tourism market .

You work for an international 5 star hotel chain.  Your board of directors has commissioned you to write a consultative report investigating Burma as a potential location for investment.  Your report is an initial consultation paper and does not need to go into detailed financial plans.  Instead it should analyses the political, economic, socio-cultural, technological factors that might affect your decision to invest in the country.

Your report should contain the following elements:

•    The issues of globalisation and internationalisation that affect Burma.
•    A PEST analysis of Burma
•    Analysis of the relevant cultural dimensions which are necessary to be aware of in preparing to do business in Burma
•    Evaluation of any cross-cultural management research that is relevant to establishing a hotel business in Burma.
