Summary
Despite several false starts, the concept of virtual business is finally coming to fruition. A melding of four critical enablers drives this new reality: social technology, visionary leadership, an increasing recognition of the value of a collaboration culture, plus virtual worlds. This so-called TLC+V (technology, leadership, collaboration, and the virtual) of virtual business has suddenly combined to create exciting and uncharted business opportunities waiting to be harnessed. This book examines four virtual business strategies that are showing unprecedented opportunity. The "any place, any time" strategy focuses on providing high quality service 24/7 by ignoring traditional geographic challenges. The "people know best" strategy harnesses the power of everyday people to create value. The "everyone has a stake" strategy considers the stakeholder view of the organization and guides leaders in tapping this vast store of wisdom. Finally, the "real in the virtual world" strategy offers incredible opportunity for real businesses to sell their wares in the virtual world. Throughout the book, we present a collection of best practices derived from our case studies of real virtual business successes.

Summary
"Hospitality Marketing in the e-Commerce Age is a comprehensive account of all aspects of marketing in the hospitality industry. Although primarily a textbook for students and teachers of hospitality marketing, this book will prove invaluable for all practitioners in the hospitality industry who want to add to their knowledge of marketing.The approach taken in this book is that marketing should be directed towards what happens to and for the customers. This approach is fundamentally different from those who consider marketing to be primarily concerned with sales and advertising. This book shifts the major emphasis of hospitality marketing onto building a service business from the inside, rather than relying on outside promotion after the event." -- BOOK JACKET.
