Understand and Honor Your Business Model

Ever wonder how legendary companies get started? Do they begin with elaborate business plans? Expensive surveys? Billion- Dollar loans?
                        NONE OF THE ABOVE
Great businesses begin with a great idea and a basic BUSINESS MODEL that people can easily understand and execute.
Every business is based on some kind of business model. In the case of southwest airlines, the business model is low cost fares and high volume, in the case of concord, the business model is high cost fares and low volume
When it come to business models, there is no right or wrong model. The key to running a successful business  is t find  a model that works and then work that model over and over again.
            Talking about the hospitality industry for example( hotels & restaurants). There are scores of different business models in the hospitality industry and each of the models has its success stories. Just look at some of the hotel business models available to travelers in and around Orlando, Florida.
            There are hundreads of “mom-and-pop” business models such as independently owned hotels, motels and bed-and-brakfasts.
            Then there are dozens of business models owned by chains of francisees, beginning wth the bare-bones, low-cost motels such as Motelsixetc and ending with the high-cost-luxury hotels such as exclusive Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.
Below are  some business models operating in the hospitality industry

Marketing as a business philosophy

Improved standard of living result in more people and further increases in output accompanied by simple mechanization which culminates in a breakthrough when the potential of the division of labouris enhanced through task specialization. Task specialization leads to the development of teams of workers and to more sophisticated and efficient mechanical devices.  A major feature of our own industrial revolution is that production becomes increasingly concentrated in areas of natural advantage, that larger production units develop and that specialization increases as the potential for economies of scale and efficiency are exploited.
