Symbiosis In Hospitality Management

Symbiosis in nature is the interaction between two distinct species looking to forge closer long-term relationships. There are three types of interactions; “Mutualism” (honey bees and flowers for example, where both species benefit), “Commensalism” (A bird’s nest on a tree for example, where one species benefits whilst the other is not harmed) and “Parasitism” (humans and mosquitoes for example, where one species benefits and the other is harmed). Symbiotic, human to human interactions seek to form closer long-term relationships based on “Mutualism”, the type of interaction where there is mutual benefit. In the business context, symbiosis happens when key stakeholders collaborate as true partners (not adversaries) for mutual benefit. Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its stakeholders. The hotel asset owner through his representative interacts with the hotel brand operator to create value; find improvements, find opportunities. This book primarily looks at hospitality management, key relationships and the complex operational dynamics between two key stakeholders; hotel asset owners and their branded hotel operators focusing on five key principles and a symbiotic leadership approach as a key enabler. There is a lot of room for improvement and it is this crucial relationship that is examined. This guidebook has been written for hotel brand operators, hotel asset owners and their representatives who are managing, overseeing or monitoring a business venture for themselves or on behalf of others. It is also a valuable guide for students of hospitality as well as the curious layman – anyone who has stayed in a hotel.

Emirates: Nothing Is Impossible

The United Arab Emirates represent an almost unique political, social and cultural reality in the Middle East: a crossroads of people, ideas, technologies and trade exchanges. They are the new center of world business, but many talk about them and few really know them.

This book describes the Emirates through history, today's reality and the dynamics that animate business and everyday life, allowing anyone to understand every secret beyond stereotypes and false myths.

A handbook to get oriented between local traditions and etiquette, useful both to those who are interested in the emirates for business reasons, and to those who want to discover the country as a simple visitor.

2021 will be not only the year of Expo Dubai, but also the fiftieth anniversary of the Emirati Foundation, two fundamental events from which Giovanni Bozzetti starts to show how the United Arab Emirates are now a hub, a central axis of global geopolitics and the cradle of a culture that has been able to fruitfully cross tradition and modernity.

It is no coincidence that the country's semi-official motto reads “Nothing is impossible”.

The Emirates look to the future with confidence. And thanks to Bozzetti – who as a man of the institutions and entrepreneur, spends many days a year there, doing business and making relationships and friendships – we too will be able to look at the Emirates in a new perspective.

Adman Vs. Chomsky

“It is certainly interesting to draw up recommendations as to how the advertising industry should abandon its current role in favor of a socially useful one.”

Dr. Noam Chomsky

“A thoroughly captivating look into marketing, the history, the tools, strategic frameworks and the changes that are happening to the industry, along with insightful recommendations on how to move forward.  Peppered with delightful anecdotes, psychological insight and case studies, this is a MUST-READ book to anyone interested in Marketing. It is the art of how 60 seconds can still transform a business and society.”

Muna AbuSulayman, International development expert and a prominent media personality

“We are in an industry that lost its way. An industry that is exchanging the power of affecting culture, for short-term profits. Ahmad, in his book, reminds us of the intellectual prowess the ad industry once enjoyed. In the process, he’s debating the most intellectual human alive!”

George Maktabi, Group CEO, Webedia Arabia

“At a time when the advertising industry is questioning its own meaning, role, and purpose, “Adman” calls for authentic, constructive self-reflection instead of fruitless navel-gazing. In simple, personal yet powerful terms, Ahmad Abu Zannad takes a stand, deconstructing clichés and confronting harsh truths to proudly reclaim advertising’s unique place in the world.”

Nathalie Bontems, Former GM and head of editorial publishing, MediaQuest

“Yes, the average person is being exposed to 6,000–10,000 ads per day… Now, imagine living in world full of ads made by individuals with less talent and less integrity, well, this is where the industry is heading, unless the advice in this book is pursued … What an insightful read and what an inspiring effort!”

A Week In The World Of "HR"

This book sheds light on the nature of the challenges faced by human resources management officials in their work. There are many challenges, some arising from the diversity of stakeholders and the need to reconcile their objectives, others from economic fluctuations and their impact on the company and its financial situation. There are also challenges related to the difficulty of choosing programs suitable for the organization’s reality and culture, as well as challenges related to the effective implementation of these programs after selection. The book follows a narrative style by tracking the thoughts and dialogues of the head of human resources in a fictional company over the course of one week, to place these challenges in their social context, as dealing with challenges is influenced by the personalities and perspectives of the involved parties.
