Student comments on How Marriott can re-innovate digital booking to reduce costs, preserve cash, and save franchisees

  1. Very interesting article, especially that you got the view of hotel managers. I think it makes sense to share profit or losses between franchises. However it might be difficult to convince the franchises that are doing better to accept to lose customers. I would be curious to see if managers of such hotels will be willing to get bigger losses in order to help other franchises, that they could consider as their competitors.
