ABSTRACT

This paper has also reviewed what is currently understood about the effective management of small hospitality firms. From an analysis of industry-specific illustrations, it has emphasized that it is possible to identify positive outcomes of the process of entrepreneurship, which commences with the creation of a small firm. Specifically, it can be seen that new concepts and practices emerge which have the potential to revolutionize the hospitality industry sector and stimulate the competitive environment. Furthermore, many of the management challenges confronting small hospitality firms have the potential to be addressed through entrepreneurial practices. Although more research is required, because of available evidence, it seems that small firms will continue to play an important role in the development of the hospitality industry well into the next century. The current economic crisis is very worrying for the industry. Hospitality is seen as discretionary and luxury spending and the sector will suffer more than most from the retrenchment that is inevitable in the face of pressure on personal incomes and increasing corporate financial concerns.
