Strategy Session 1: Decision Making at the Strategic and Operational Level
Exercise: Innkeepers of America
After reading the material in the pdf copy, review the 15 statements below pertaining to Innkeepers of America's decisions.
Your task is to identify which of these 15 decisions are strategic, or operational or both types of decisions - by marking an S for a strategic decision, an O for an operational decision, or an S/O for decisions that you consider can be both strategic and operational.
More importantly, after you mark each question with the relevant alphabet - write around 30 words for EACH DECISION justifying your selection - like I have provided an explanation for Decision #2 in RED!
-1. Innkeepers of America's position fn the economy segment of the lodging industry.

-4. New advertising campaign with discount coupons for weekend stays.
-5. Three new customer service positions.
