Can hospitality researchers contribute to the strategic management literature?
Özet
This paper discusses whether hospitality researchers can contribute to the mainstream strategy literature. Recently, hospitality scholars recommended that research studies in our field should make a contribution to the mainstream. However, a critical review of the literature in both fields reveals that there is not only a big gap between the mainstream strategy literature and the strategic hospitality management literature but also this gap is getting bigger and there seems to be no an easy solution to overcome this problem. Given the existing quantity and quality of the research outputs in our field, contribution to the mainstream by hospitality researchers appears to be a challenging task. However, a number of key suggestions to achieve this aim can be proposed which are given and discussed in this paper. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
