    2.3 Finance

    Hotel Profit

    According to Mr. Saiful the breakeven point of the hotel is RM6 000 000. Thishigh breakeven generally does not affect the hotels profits as much as they are

    financially assisted by their mother company to cover up to 20% of expenses.

    Sources of income

    The hotel enjoys income from F&B sales and room sales. But this is not the only

    source according to the sales and marketing managers. He hotels most

    important source of income is their base business which is having contracts with

    travel agencies that earn the hotel up to RM 3 000 000 a month. This is

    substantial towards their sustainability and profit margin. The hotel has up to 5

    travel agencies on contract.

    During off peak season, hotels tend to suffer in achieving high profits, Best

    Western hotel focuses on keeping rooms at a standard price and signing

  • 7/27/2019 Strategic Marketing draft 1.docx

    5/21

    5

    contracts with government and football teams that pay in advance to use the

    hotel. The hotel charges food and beverages at 3 times the mark up price to

    cover up for expenses maintain profit and purchase new stock.

    2.4 Human Resource

    The requirement and the process in order to recruit employees in Best Western

    Premier that are firstly, candidates must above age which is stated in Malaysian

    Labour Law where the required minimum age that an organization or company

    recruit is 18 years old. Second, the candidates must have at least some

    experience and knowledge on how to serve and interact with the customers. This

    will help to reduce the time undergo the training and straight stationed at the front

    line of the operation with of course, some training. Third, when the candidates

    have required these two requirements, the next process is to interview each of

    the candidates and provide questionnaires for candidates to answer depending

    on which department the candidates applying which usually takes thirty minutes

    to one hour. If the candidates applying for the management position, the

    candidates will be interview by heads of department that are Human Resource,

    Front Office, Sales and Marketing, Housekeeping, and General Manager. After

    successful gone through these process, they will be providing trainings in order

    to improve the candidates productivity and performance in order to meet the Best

    Western Premier service standard. For example of the trainings are in service,

    food safety and security. For the managers position will provide training such as

    skill development, team building and team bonding. These managers will be

    trained in Acedemy Best Western at Bangkok.

    According to Mr Saiful from Best Western Premier Senior Sales Manager, the

    staff turnover for this hotel is quite high. The reasons are this hotel is rather newwhich have been developed only for one year. The environment and the

    management are new and this may cause the employees feel unease with

    working environment here. In order to maintain their employees, they are

    recommended to implement intrinsic and extrinsic reward which could motivate

    the employees to stay working in Best Western Premier. If the Best Western

  • 7/27/2019 Strategic Marketing draft 1.docx

    Premier lacking of employees, they will recruit the foreigners such as Nepal and

    Bangladesh that have contract from Malaysia Association Hotel or ask from the

    selected college or university to work for Best Western Premier Hotel.

    Furthermore, the Human Resource Department implementing friendly and

    positive workplace for the employees to feel comfortable working and

    communication with each other in order to achieve the companys goals and

    objectives.

    3.0 External Audit

    3.1 Market Segment Analysis

    Table 1: Best Westerns Market segment analysis

    Best Western is using demographic factor which is occupation to look for their

    target markets. It segmented their customers into three groups which are

    corporate clients, government group and leisure guests. Table 1 showed the

    highest targets they aimed are corporate clients and government group because

    they dependant on these groups as their base business. The reason is

    businessman nowadays are increasingly and establish their business around

    develop places especially Kuala Lumpur after management team interview Mr.

    Saiful who is senior manager of Best Western. Hence, conference rooms

    become important places for businessman to have meeting with their clients and

    Best Western always is their first choice because the location is quite convenient

    for them to reach as it placed at Kuala Lumpur Sentral.

    Other than that, there is always 10% earnings out of 360 rooms are for those

    customers who having long term stay business at least 9 months to 1 year period

    (Mr. Saiful, 2013). Seems corporate and government groups are assisting Best

    Western to gain lots of profitability, the leisure guests are obviously lower. So, to

    be more balance the profits for the hotel, Best Western should implement some

    extra facilities such as mini pool and spa to attract more leisure guests to visit the

    hotel.

    3.2 PESTE Analysis

    3.2.1 Political

    Every industry especially hospitality industry do apply service charge on

    customers. Government Service Tax (GST) is legislated tax at rate 6% and it

    efficient from January 2011 which enforced under the Service Tax Act 1975

    (Jackie, 2013). Besides, Jackie (2013) said that this collected service tax will

    going to paid to government once every two months hence the nature of

    businesses and type of services subject to licensing and payment of service

    tax may refer to Second Schedule of Service Tax Regulation 1975.

    This rule definitely will directly influence customers purchasing power. When

    price of product increasing after GST has fully applied, it continuously

    considered as extra another burden for residents especially for those who

    stay in high living costs mainly in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang,

    and Johor Bahru (Palil and Ibrahim, n.d.). Hence, Best Western which

    located in Kuala Lumpur also might get influenced because of this higherservice charge.

    3.2.2 Economical

    Table 2: Malaysia unemployment rate

    Source: Malaysia unemployment rate 2013,

    http://www.tradingeconomics.com/malaysia/unemployment-rate

    Table 2 showed Malaysia unemployment rate fluctuated through the year.

    Factor of hiring cheaper cost of foreign labour is relatively to this

    unemployment rate. Lower salary for foreign labour become an attractive

    reason for employers to hire them as they can help the company to reduce

    expenses compare to local employees (Insider Asia, 2009). Other words,

    high unemployment rate could influence companys productivity henceperformance especially when relate to significant positions in organizations

    (Salleh, e al., 2012). Lack of employees or knowledgeable foreign labour

    may lead to inefficiency outcomes for a task for example a banquet

    organized in the hotel. The banquet couldnt go well and it will bring negative

    effect of reputation for the hotel.

    3.2.3 Socio-cultural

    ort_komplett_web.pdf

    From figure 1, there is 32% of people claimed that they will travel more in

    2012 than in 2011 while 37% also had the similar wants and only 19% people want

    to lesser their travel (IPK International, 2011). Seems that people lifestyle has been

    changed. So, it would help in hospitality industrys profitability as well as Best

    Westerns performance. This is because increasing of tourists visit to hotel will lead

    to higher earnings for the hotel even greater profitability for its future.

    However, Best Western target on corporate and government groups as their

    base business as they are able to attract those businessman to choose Best

    Western by provide enough conference rooms for them to meeting with clients.

    The fast pace of technology advancement make hotel always win customers

    demands. Online booking, for instance become a common issue in every industry

    including hospitality industry. As usual Best Western also applies online booking on

    customers. Indeed, this online booking create convenient for customers especially

    those come from abroad hence it help Best Western to reach its competitive

    advantage.

    Since every hotel using online booking, Best Western implement Online Booking

    Bonus Promotion for customers who apply online booking between November 19,

    2012 and June 30, 2013 to attract more customers switch their alternative hotel to

    Best Western (John, 2012).

    Other than that, Best Western also employ Early Internet Special which discount

    between 15% - 30% for customer planned arrival date and this program is not allow

    for cancellation or shortened the period of staying even full or partial refund from

    hotel as this is the their terms and conditions (TripAdvisor, 2013).

    These strategies that used by Best Western will lead to higher profitability for the

    hotel.

    3.2.5 Environmental

    Environment issue such as air pollution which is haze problem from Indonesia is

    happening currently. The haze spread north in Malaysia and it influenced air quality

    in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and in some neighbouring areas getting serious into

    unhealthy zone (John and Nusatya, 2013). Hence, it may lead to low earnings for

    hospitality industry as lesser customers visit to hotel as they are more concern their

    healthy and choose to stay home.

    Conversely, there is no influence for Best Western when management team got

    information from Mr. Saiful during interview. He claimed that quantity of customers in

    Best Western still maintain during air pollution recently as well as customers prefer

    stay in hotel rather than going out from rooms.

    5.0 Key Factors for Success

    Identify and justify two key critical success factors. These factors should be based

    on a logically from the situational audit.

    1) Their accounting and control department Best Western Primer uses their

    own designed system name Comache system by Asia Bangkok (Best western inc.)

    to run their billing/account, thus they are able to achieve full prompt payment from

    customer, control expenditure or expenses efficiently, and monitor their sale and

    budgets according to their target.

    Mr Saiful emphasizes that the cash flow for every hotel is important. This is because

    without any cash flow the business will not be able to run next month. Thus, to

    ensure a constant cash flow they develop an account for their customer under the

    hotel, so that customer can put in large quantity of money into the account for future

    use. Therefore when the customer come to stay the hotel will deduct the money from

    the account. This lump sum of money can also act as a cash flow for the hotel.

    3) Strategic location

    4) their target market is corporate governance.

    5) top selling is meeting rooms.

    6.0 Mission Statement

    A mission statement is important process in developing companys strategic plan

    while it always is a goal to be achieved through the project (Alave and Karami,

    2009). Regarding to interview, Mr. Saiful mentioned that Best Western created their

    mission statement which is embarked on a mission to lead the hotel industry in

  • 7/27/2019 Strategic Marketing draft 1.docx

    15/21

    15

    customer care. Other than that, they also wanted to build the worlds largest family

    with the hotels and employees sponsoring children who need help especially from

    orphanage in future.

    Though our analysis, Best Western should enhance their mission statement to

    always serve people first while provide high quality service to customers and strive

    for success. Fully believe that it would more motivate employees in Best Western

    by having clear target to achieve for the hotel.

    7.0 Positioning Statement and Target Market Identification

    Company Philosophy

    The hotel is focused on the customer. There is also a desire for the company to

    sponsor children in need in the forms of donations and charity functions.

    Business Definition

    The business is focused on catering to corporate and government customers. The

    government would have to pay in advance for use of the facilities. The hotel sells

    meeting rooms, conference rooms that are spacious and well managed

    Distinctive Competencies

    Event rooms are constantly refurbished and up to date which is essential for keeping

    up with current day technology and being on par with competitors. Best Western

    also takes pride in offering catering services to anywhere around Malaysia

    Future Market Position
