Anish, this was also my reaction upon reading the article. However, I’m now thinking about operations in terms of the different characteristics of successful manufacturing versus innovation/R&D. It makes sense that the organisational structure and culture impact the degree of free thinking and collaboration for innovation, which I hadn’t factored into my thinking on operational models previously.
I would be interested to understand more about the value-added services that TriMark offers, such as the monitoring of supply levels that you mentioned. What form would this type of tool take and what level of integration is required?
It would also be interesting to know more about their customer strategy. Have they partnered with all of the big hotel chains? Do they sell to retail customers at all?
