Title: | Ice Bucket Challenge, Butterfly Effect, and hotels’ strategic configurations – the case of the hotel industry in China | Other Title: | 冰桶挑战、蝴蝶效应与战略导向–中国酒店业的案例 | Authors: | Peng, KL Lin, PMC Ren, L |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Journal of China tourism research (中國旅游硏究), 2016, v. 12, no. 2, p. 252-270 | Abstract: | This study aims to construct a typology of hotels’ strategic configurations based on the Butterfly Effect in the event of the Ice Bucket Challenge in the Chinese hotel industry. We employed the BDS test and analogy inference method to infer the strategic configurations and strategic configuration matrix of the hotel industry based on the chaos theory. The strategic configurations and configuration matrix of the hotel industry were identified through the Ice Bucket Challenge and Butterfly Effect, which correspond to the chaotic and deep regularities/attractors of the chaos theory. The implication for hotel operations is to survive and surpass this complex system and dynamic competition under the strategic configurations and configuration matrix, which entails cooperation in the industry structure and pursuit of the blue-ocean strategy, a way to work in a marketplace that is free of competitors, through a strategy of service innovation. 基于冰桶挑战在中国酒店业产生的蝴蝶效应,本文旨在构建一个酒店的战略导向。研究员依据混沌理论,利用BDS测试和类比推理,推断酒店行业的战略导向、有规模导向、营销导向、资源导向及服务创新导向并因形成相互为用的战略矩阵。然而,酒店必须实行蓝海策略及服务创新,方能在此复杂的产业系统和动态竞争中持续生存与发展。 |
