Restaurant Chains in China The Dilemma of Standardisation versus Authenticity By: Guojun Zeng; Henk J. de Vries; Frank M. Go Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9789811309854, 981130985X eText ISBN: 9789811309861, 9811309868 Copyright year: 2019 Format: EPUB Available from $ 99.00 USD SKU: 9789811309861 This book explores the paradox of the hospitality industry: customers demand not only personal and innovative tourism products and services, but also cost-effective ones. Enterprises have the option to meet the former demand by offering authentic products and services while the latter could be achieved through standardization. Although it seems ideal to combine both concepts, they seemingly contradict each other leading to suppliers facing an authenticity-standardization paradox. The authors identify, analyze, and provide solutions for this authenticity-standardization paradox based on a series of case studies of restaurants in China. This book will be of interest to scholars, business owners, and consultants. SKU: 9789811309854 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/Restaurant-Chains-in-China
