Human Resource Allocations For Independent Hotels Under Uncertainty: Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach, Di Wu, Yong Choi, Seunghee Wie

Journal of Hospitality Financial Management

Human Resource (HR) allocation for independent hotels is critical, especially during and after the pandemic because labor costs account for a large portion of operating expenses in lodging businesses.

For the ones that survive and prosper, they may remain as independents, private and or family businesses, while some transform into corporations and even become publicly traded entities. We use FAT Brands as a case study to examine the evolution of a company from a single restaurant concept and expanding by diversifying into a multi-concept and publicly traded corporation. Internal and external factors such as the impact …
