Read the following Essay and answer the questions:

Shangri-la, a luxurious Asian-based hotel and resorts group recognized in Hong Kong was first established in 1971. The first among the hotels in this chain; The Shangri-La Hotel Singapore became the Flagship hotel. Giovanni Angelini is the CEO and Managing Director of this hotel group was recognized as the “2006 Corporate Hotelier of the World” (Shangri-La’s Giovanni Angelini named 2006 corporate hotelier of the world, 2006, para.1) by the worldwide magazine called the HOTELS. This group of hotels is rated among the 5-star deluxe groups of hotels. The hotel has a facility of more than 500 rooms. This runs city hotels as well as catering services. The adherence to high-quality service with a sharp focus and application of the latest business trends thereby attaining ample customer satisfaction made this group of hotels a big success.

This concept of Hotels originated from the Kuok Family of Malaysia and has now been established as a world-class brand in 5-star hotel groups. “The company, part of Malaysia’s Kuok Group, operates 45 hotels throughout Asia. In 2005, the company also began a drive into the European and North American markets, including the launch of construction on its first European hotel, in London, expected to be completed in 2009. The company also has opened its first hotel in the Middle East, in Dubai, and in the Maldives. Mainland China, however, forms the heart of the company’s empire, with more than 20 hotels in operation, and at least 15 more expected to open before 2010.” (Shangri-La Asia ltd, 2004, para.1). The group has also created a mark in organizing Gust-Loyalty Program. This program is organized and established in the name called The Golden Circle.

The Golden Circle is a new and vibrant award-winning concept focused on offering world-class hospitality services. According to the press release, “Established in 1997, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts’ Golden Circle is the group’s frequent guest recognition program. Golden Circle rewards members with a generous array of benefits and personalized amenities, including private check-in and check-out service, free spouse stays, and free local calls and calling card access.” (Golden circle – Shangri-La’s award-winning guest recognition program, 2004, para.1). The promptness and foresight of the promoters of this group and the master brains behind the application of the latest business trends have supported the hotel group to come to the level of top competitors in this industry.

Key players in the case study and their roles This case study is mainly focused on highlighting the latest concepts in the Hotel industry. It is done by focusing on the Shangri-La group- The top competitor offering 5-star services in the hotel and resorts chain. They also expand their business to vibrant sectors of this business by the application of innovative ideas. This concept of Hotels is in fact a big turning point in the history of hotel industries. This report also tries to focus on the level of customer satisfaction and its positive impacts in this industry. So, a greater level of concentration is given to the customer side to understand how they accept the latest concepts and how new concepts could be made acceptable for them.

The key players and the master brains behind the success of this great venture is a group of

professionals having high exposure around the globe with more than two decades of experience in the hospitality management field. They include: “Mr. Rao, Madhu – Managing Director and Chief Executive OfÏcer Mr. Rao has more than 20 years’ experience with Shangri-La. He joined Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in 1988 as a group financial controller. Named chief financial ofÏcer in 1997, he also serves as an executive director and chief financial ofÏcer of the holding company, Shangri-La Asia Limited. Named chief financial ofÏcer in 1997, he also serves as an executive director and chief financial ofÏcer of the holding company, Shangri-La Asia Limited.

Mr. Dogan, Greg – Chief Operating OfÏcer

Before assuming his present position, Mr. Dogan was vice president and general manager of Makati Shangri-La, Manila. Prior to joining Shangri-La in 1997, Mr. Dogan held managerial positions at luxury hotels in Spain, Dubai and China.

Mr. Rao, Anand – Chief Information OfÏcer

Mr. Rao has been chief information ofÏcer at Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts since 1989, except for a few years as chief executive ofÏcer of Kerry Technology Limited, the Kuok Group’s IT  investment arm.” (Managing success, 2010, para.4).

The appropriate instance for the case data

A keen study of the achievements of this hotel group and its history and origin gives us an idea that it is a fast grown and in fact a widely expanding concept in the hotel industry. The  organizers of this group were able to achieve this in a very short time by timely and trendy approach to the business. “Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hotel group, has been named Best Business Hotel Chain in Asia Pacific for the ninth consecutive year at this year’s prestigious Business Traveler Reader Awards (UK) in London.” (Shangri-La hotels and reports named best business hotel in Asia Pacific for Ninth consecutive year, 2004)

danah boyd, a leading social media expert and researcher at Microsoft, studied how teenagers use social networks. She discovered that teens create a "digital body" to represent themselves online and spend time curating their profiles to reflect their real identities. The wall or comments section is crucial for maintaining friendships, serving as a public display of connection. Teens mostly use social media to interact with existing friends, often due to busy schedules, parental restrictions, or long distances. danah also explored teens' growing awareness of online privacy and visibility, noting examples like parents discovering unexpected behavior through tagged photos. As teens grow older, their online habits may change—something danah continues to explore.

Audiovisual understanding

(Everyone turns.)

Gillian: Who are you?

Zoe: Do you have brains?

(Ad-libbed responses: “Fair enough,” “Good idea,” “Safer that way,” etc.)

William: De’Ath? Don’t you mean Death?

Gillian: Murder? Hang on, why aren’t you scared of us? Boo!

Bella: Slightly? We’re dead, and you’re having a chat like it’s tea time!

Winnie: Zoe likes open minds too—different reason though.

Malcolm: Of course I am!

Bella: (Fake sobbing.) Oh, Victor! My darling! Who could do this to you?

Winnie: Ernest.

Gillian: (Hands De’Ath the card.)

Bella: Don’t forget Patti.

Zoe: Patti the Poltergeist.

Malcolm: Well, technically, we all did.

William: Wait. You said murder? You can’t mean this is murder!

Bella: Oh, must this take long? If Victor—or Ernest or whatever—stays dead, I’ll need a new potential husband. They’re all dressed so splendidly… clearly wealthy enough to keep me in the manner I deserve.

Zoe: Basingstoke?

Gillian: True. I became a ghost immediately after dying. Didn’t even have time to dry off.

Winnie: Unless the CCTV shows nothing, it’s unclear who did it.

(A beat.)

Zoe: Oh, shame—I wanted to watch this on YouBoo.

Malcolm: Zoe, you don’t need to watch—you’re here.

Winnie: Just a minute, Inspector. If one of us is nicked, how do you punish a ghost?

Gillian: Why me?

Winnie: Because you’re easiest to imagine not being there.

Zoe: What? No! I done nothing.

Bella: That’s just how she talks, Inspector. She don’t know no different.

De’Ath: So one or more of you is responsible for the deaths of Professor Ernest Jones and Patti the Poltergeist. I intend to find out who!

Zoe: And then what?

De’Ath: Then the guilty will face consequences.

Malcolm: Consequences! Missed that one.

Zoe: (To Gillian) What did he say?

Gillian: You’ll be nicked.

Zoe: But I didn’t do nothing!

(All groan.)

Gillian: Life? Are you sure?

Zoe: We’re already dead… haha.

Malcolm: A week in Basingstoke?

Gillian: (To audience.) We have a murder to solve. So, ladies and gentlemen, let us see if we can, between us, solve these crimes, as we open up the floor to questions from the audience.

(Audience questions – see production notes.)

Scene 2 – The Reveal

Winnie: Her real name was Sharon.

Zoe: Sharon?

Winnie: Yes, she told me while I was doing her hair before we came out tonight.

William: She didn’t have any ingredients for potions.

Bella: Oh, well surmised, Inspector! Bravo!

Malcolm: (To Gillian) So we can go?

Zoe: What? Me? No! I liked Patti. She was my friend.

Malcolm: That doesn’t sound like Zoe. She only pulls hair off if she’s going to eat their… B-R-A-I-N-S.

William: Real wine!

Winnie: What? Me? No, don’t be silly. Why would I want to kill Victor? And why would I want to kill Patti? I helped her get ready for tonight, for goodness’ sake. I helped her with her hair!

William: So that’s why you wanted me to spend time with Patti! You wanted her sneezes to use in your spells! She and Gillian are the only ones who are officially spooks!

Winnie: Yes, yes, OK. I stabbed him, but I didn’t know then he wasn’t a vampire. He accused me of shoddy spells.

Zoe: Is that near Cognito?

Bella: Yes Zoe, yes, it is. Just down the road.

Gillian: Look, Inspector – Victor, or Ernest, whoever he was, must have known the risks when he came to live with us. Anyone could have found out at any time he wasn’t a vampire. It wouldn’t have taken a genius.

William: Keeping up standards, Winnie, good girl.

Malcolm: Zoe, I’m sorry to say, the house belonged to Victor, I think we’re all going to have to move to… (braces himself) Basingstoke!

(All except De’Ath.) Nooooooo!

(Curtain.)
