A big investment Chinese fund group is exploring investment opportunities and its international foray into the hospitality industry in Manhattan, New York. It has approached you to perform an analysis of the Manhattan hotel industry (PESTEL & Porter’s 5 forces of rivalry competition). From the trends derived from the data (e.g., the number of new rooms planned) and the other metrics, what growth would you expect in the next years to come? What strategies would you propose the investment group to take if it is to enter the Manhattan market? What, where, how, with whom and when should the new hotel position and market itself ? What metrics/KPIs should it be monitoring to gauge/benchmark the implementation and the success of its strategy? What are the risks, if any, that could be associated with the world’s economic developments and events, e.g. the end of the US’s money/Quantitative Easing (QE), the imminent Fed’s rate hike, ECB’s QE, Eurozone’s deflation, China’s slowing growth and Japan’s Abenomics?
What strategic choices would it have to consider?
What is your recommendation? To enter or not to enter into the Manhattan Hotel market? Why?
