Decisions on prices and costs year 2 & reflection point
Check the page Year 1-2-3-4. During the years you have to take a number of decisions
- on prices (five decisions)
- on costs to be made (five other decisions)
Situation
On the page operating review you can see now how the results of your actions and how the market responded to your earlier choices and decisions taken. You continue developing your new hotel concept and working on establishing its footprint in the market under your new chosen strategy. Look at the feedback and comments provided by your coach(es), and if applicable, the chosen marketing research. Keep your actions aligned with your strategy.
Now, you get to assess current prices and revise them accordingly (five of them) bringing again revenues and their respective costs according to other five specific choices. You will make all these decisions now for year 2. After seeing the results from this year 2, you will eventually get to take further decisions (“new amounts”) in year 3.
Your Team makes new decisions regarding year 2 in your Team File
Goal
Keeping your decisions in alignment with your new strategy and your new customer segment(s) and its evolving behavior. Remember that all five decisions are new costs: behave on incremental basis to previously pre-determined fixed and variable costs as part of operational management strategy. Your focus remains on the execution of your strategy while positioning your hotel to drive and sustain business growth and profitability in the long run. So, keep your professional hat on managing a good balance between prices and its related total costs (incl. new costs).
Deliverable
Fill out all ten decisions in your team File.
Most importantly, that you provide adequate and sound arguments behind every decision as entered in your team file. i.e., Why did you choose them?
Try to find benchmarks, (comparative sources), put URL or links in, make basic calculations, try to predict the outcome of your decisions. Particularly, when you are looking at costs as these will be incremental:
• exactly what are you going to spend the money on? and,
• what benefit do you think it will bring to your hotel? Be concrete, also share your calculations if and when necessary.
This is the second year, so you will have to foresee and support the type of costs that would enable you to drive and sustain growth and profitability while learning from the market responses.
