Figure 2.1 Organizational of a small hotel
The organizational of a large international hotel. If you compare it with that of a small hotel
(Figure2.1), you will see that the structures of the two are quite different. The increase in size of the hotel
means that very often there is a corporate level of management, which makes all the long term future
plans for the hotel. These plans and strategies are then passed down to the hotel manager (or general
manager) for implementation. Again because of the size of the property, there are more, very specialist
departments, such as human resources, purchasing, accounts and training.
A major difference between a small hotel and a large hotel is that, in a small hotel, the manager
may also be the owner, while in a large international hotel, the owner may be in the board of directors. In
this case it is the board of directors which is responsible for formulating the goals of company and
carrying out long-term planning. In such hotels, it is rare for the manager to be the owner. However, it is
the manager who is responsible for the implementation of the goals set by the board of directors.
