NAMA Endowed Professor of Hospitality Business Michael McCall
NAMA Endowed Professor of Hospitality Business Michael McCall writes Office Hours, a bi-weekly column about current issues facing hospitality professionals, on MarketScale. This week McCall expands upon his previous topic, which discussed value propositions, to better understand the value of customer loyalty. “Today’s discussion will take these concepts into the customer loyalty space to understand how firms might begin to capture that customer value,” McCall wrote.
McCall provides a brief history and a fast forward to get you up to speed on the topic, so you’re ready for the next column where McCall “…will consider in depth what these new data-driven [loyalty] programs have not accomplished.”
