Abstract

The hotel industry has become globalised and in consequence international hotel chains are experiencing new intercultural management challenges. Corporate culture has received considerable attention in the international management literature concerning its importance as a coordination mechanism in international business settings. Corresponding to this notion, the paper examines the role and the relevance of corporate culture as a leadership principle in the international hotel industry against the backdrop of the pecularities of the hotel industry. The objective is to enhance the understanding of the impact of corporate culture on organizational performance in international hotel chains.
