'This book makes an important contribution to hospitality management theory and practice, and is thereby of value to both academic programs and to industry practitioners. The book clearly encourages critical and analytical thinking and is therefore crucial in the development of reflective practioners.'Prof Conrad Lashley, Emeritus Editor, Hospitality & Society 'This edition of the popular guide to Hospitality Business Development is very welcome for its lucid consideration of business growth and will appeal to both hospitality management students as well as aspiring managers. I particularly like the reader-friendly layout. The many examples used to illustrate major themes in the book, the review questions and additional reading recommendations are especially helpful.'Prof Paul Lynch, Professor of Critical Hospitality and Tourism, UK
