Preface
Hotel managers hold complex, challenging, and rewarding positions in the
hospitality industry. Hotel general managers are responsible to ensure that
each department operates smoothly and attains budget goals, while
meeting the guests’ needs and increasing market share. This third edition
of Hotel Operations Management has been expanded and revised to help
present and future general managers address their increasing
responsibilities.
Consider the simple case of carpet stains in a guest room corridor. This
book will not detail the best procedures for removing the stains, which is
the responsibility of the housekeeping department personnel. However, the
general manager must monitor the effectiveness of the housekeeping
department and ensure it has the funding, supervisory personnel, and
equipment required to keep the carpets clean. This book is, then, a
compilation of the skills and knowledge required to effectively supervise
all of the activities in a midsize full-service hotel (one with about 500
rooms that offers food and beverage services beyond “help-yourself”
breakfasts).
Outstanding hotel managers ensure that their properties prosper by their
attention to detail, respect for the managerial and hourly staff within the
hotel, and adherence to the vision and mission they and their teams
support for their organizations. In this book, current and future hotel
general managers will learn about the procedures effective managers use
to best ensure their hotels’ and personal success.
In the years since the second edition of Hotel Operations Management was
published, the hotel industry has experienced monumental change in
numerous areas, most significantly those related to technology and the
strategies used to attract and retain guests and employees. The challenges
for general managers have never been greater, and this edition has been
revised and expanded to address many of those challenges.

Explained new tactics for hotel marketing using social networks and

Questions
1. What is the difference between the following: citizens, subjects, nationals,
residents, denizens, aliens?
2. What is meant by the expression to “swear allegiance”? To “forswear
allegiance”? Repeat the oath of allegiance. When is the oath taken (a) by aliens;
(b) by citizens?
3. Are the following American citizens by birth: (a) a boy born abroad, of alien
parentage, whose parents came to the United States and were naturalized after he
was over twenty-one years of age; (b) children of Chinese parents, born in the
United States; (c) children of American parents, born in the Philippines; (d)
children of Porto Rican parents, born in Europe since 1917?
4. Name four important civic rights. Arrange in each case a set of facts which
would constitute a violation of a civic right.
5. The constitution provides that the people shall have the right to assemble
peaceably. Would it be a violation of this right to require that a permit from the
police must be had in order to hold any meeting in the streets or in the public
parks?
6. Discuss the extent to which the public school is a “miniature democracy”. Is it
organized like a democratic government? To what extent and under what
circumstances can school pupils be entrusted with self-government or given a
share in the maintenance of discipline?
7. To what extent can public opinion be relied upon to enforce the rules (a) in
athletics; (b) in the class-rooms; (c) in business; (d) in government? Would laws be
effective if there were no penalties but the censure of public opinion to enforce
them? If not, why not?
8. What is the value of a high school or college education in training young men
and women (a) to make a living; (b) to become leaders; (c) to help their fellow-
citizens; (d) to hold public office? Towards which of these things does education
contribute the most?
9. Can any one be a good citizen without knowing how government is carried
on? Without knowing American history? Without belonging to any social or civic
organization? Without voting at elections? Without being at all interested in social
or political questions?
Topics for Debate
1. No one who is not a citizen should be permitted to become a voter.
2. The obligation of military service ought to be imposed upon aliens as well as
upon citizens.
3. The teaching of civics should be made compulsory in all grammar and high
schools.
CHAPTER VI
POPULAR CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT
The purpose of this chapter is to explain how the people, both directly and
indirectly, control all branches of government in the United States.
Public Opinion and Representative Government
How the People Rule.—In free governments The ultimate
the will of the people prevails in the decision of sovereignty of the
all important matters. This does not mean, of people.
course, that the people decide every question directly, but merely
that when a substantial majority of them have reached a decision
upon any point their will prevails through one channel or another.
The wishes of the American people have at times been thwarted by
their government; but in the long run, when the people have made
up their minds, their will has brushed aside every obstacle and has
become the supreme law of the land. This popular control of
American government is exerted in four ways, namely, by the
pressure of public opinion upon all officials, by the periodic election
of representatives, by direct law-making through the initiative and
referendum, and by the action of the people in amending their state
constitutions.
The pressure of public opinion is continuous, and it is exerted in
various ways. The government cannot proceed very far in defiance
of it. The election of representatives, on the other hand, takes place
at stated intervals, and in the period between elections the people do
not have direct control over those whom they elect. But where
provision for the initiative and referendum exists, the people may
frame and enact laws without the intervention of their representatives
and thus may exercise direct control. Finally, the ultimate agency of
popular sovereignty is the power of the people to amend their
constitutions. So far as the state constitutions are concerned they
accept or reject proposed changes by their own votes; in the case of
the national constitution they act through their representatives in
Congress and in the state legislatures. By these four methods of
control we maintain what is known as the sovereignty of the people.
